1.0 - Installation requisites
It is strongly recommended to entrust a professional with the positioning and presetting of the counter flange on
the hull. These instructions are generic, and do not show by any means the details of the operations of presetting the coun-
ter flange, which falls under the competence of the shipyard. In case of problems caused by a defective installation of the
tunnel, the installer will be held responsible.
Despite all components and moving mechanical parts are of high quality, the correct installation of the retractable propulsion
unit is fundamental for a safe and efficient use of the boat, as well as of the same propulsion unit.
Please note that the installation of such unit is an operation requiring experience as well as technical competence. It is rec-
ommended to entrust the installation to competent staff and to consult the manufacturer or naval architects to fully evaluate
the entity of the work.
The Quick retractable thruster
The main movement, relating to the propulsion part, is of tilting type. The hinges on which the movement happens are con-
ceived to confer high resistance to the set and are located on the flat flange surface that joins the pre-assembled structure to
the hull solid support.
The secondary movement relates to the closing of the through-hull fitting from where the tunnel exits. This movement of the
tilting type takes place around the hinge, which has been designed and manufactured in order to open the lid without interfer-
ences (if properly installed, as per instructions provided).
Electric motor, gear, levers and all other components are supplied by Quick
structure in GRP and do not require adjustments, adaptations or sealing, unless indicated in this manual.
The Quick retractable thruster
comply with the different types of hulls. Quick
for quick, solid and precise installation.
For the fibreglass hulls the support must be laminate in the hull respecting the current Standards relating to joints. The pro-
pulsion unit distributes mechanical stresses to the hull through the counter flange. The force of the joint will be determined by
overlapped, up to standard, laminates.
For aluminium alloy hulls, like for stainless steel hulls, the support must be welded to the hull.
If correct, the installation of a boxed structure like that of the support, can give greater sturdiness to the hull. Consult the
manufacturer, naval architects and/or specialised companies to evaluate additional work which beams and ribs near the re-
tractable propulsion unit.
