Page 3: Positioning
Consider the following, when determining the position of the thruster unit in order to ensure the most efficient operation: Find the point the farthest forward (or aft), while keeping in mind the space available, given the vessel’s fixtures, space and shape and while respecting the minimum immersion depth of one full turbine diameter (185 mm). -

MOUNTING BASE INSTALLATION (Please refer to “Build Drawing” at back of this document MAX POWER can supply, either a steel reinforced G.R.P. mounting base or a 5086 aluminium alloy-mounting flange. These bases save considerable shipyard time while assuring solid and precise installation. - Page 6 The VIP pushes its thrust plate sideways against the inside of the mounting base Mounting Base when running. This means that one must Flange ( a ) totally lower the unit and check the Mounting Base following: ( b ) That the VIP’s thrust plate is free to move up and down.
