MAX POWER 

Use the thruster as required. If the alarm buzzer sounds and the green light are still 
on during operation, stop the thruster immediately. This alarm indicates that a 
problem has occurred on one of the auxiliary alarms. 
When finished reverse the above operation: move the joystick away from yourself 
(forward or up), the green light will extinguish, the alarm sounds until the red light 
illuminates indicating that the RETRACT is fully retracted. It is now safe to advance 
at normal cruising speeds.  
CAUTION: Never leave the RETRACT in lowered position when not in use. The 
RETRACT must be in up position (retracted) when sailing.  
The RETRACT is designed to be used in harbour when manoeuvring at low speed 
(below 3 knots).  
 
Switch off the system power breaker.  
 

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE  

 

PROBLEM

:  Thrust stops almost immediately after it has been applied. The alarm 

buzzer comes on and the green light turns off.  
 

PROBABLE CAUSE 1

 – The Raise/lower Electro-pump unit is not working correctly.  

REMEDY:

 Check that the Raise/lower unit has 24-vdc powers to the motor. Check 

that the pump operates in down position before the thruster starts.  
 

PROBABLE CAUSE 2

  - position switches out of adjustment.  

REMEDY:

 Readjust the position switches by loosening its securing nut and 

readjusting it closer to the actuator.  
 

PROBLEM:

 The thruster seems to be developing less thrust. 

  

SECONDARY CAUSE

: Low oil pressure.  

REMEDY

: Check pressure. Consult hydraulic technician  

THIRD CAUSE

: Propeller problem (plastic bag, rope, etc…)  

 

PROBLEM:

 The turbine retracts, but the alarm does not stop or the red light does not 

illuminate.  
 

PROBABLE CAUSE

: An object such as a line, or other flotsam is caught between 

the closing plate and the hull.  

REMEDY

: Raise and lower the unit a few times to see if the object clears. If it does 

not, try to remove the object manually.  
 

WARNING

 

NEVER 

put

 your hand into the opening of the hull.  

PROBLEM:

 The RETRACT will not open.  

PROBABLE CAUSE

: No power (24 vdc) to the Raise/lower unit.  

REMEDY

:   Check the 20 amps or 15-amp fuse breaker in the control box,  

 

 

Check that wire number 5 has power,  
Check that power is available to the unit, by checking the voltage on 
wires 
Check oil in the reservoir of R/L unit  
Check joystick operation.
