Do not allow the variable length of the tunnel walls to vary in length excessively. EG. the top tunnel wall is x 4 longer than the bottom wall. Water flow must have space to "straighten" itself for best Cavitation performance.

You must apply gel coat to areas you have grounded/ moulded to make waterproof. These areas allow water access to the hull which is typically not waterproof without these applications outside. (NB: All original Side-Power tunnels are fully waterproof when delivered except in the areas where you have cut and bonded it to the hull.)

Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Centre the drive pin and Insert the propeller onto the shaft spine. Rotate the propeller until the drive pin aligns with the internal slot in the propeller. IMPORTANT For twin counter-rotating gear legs, propellers are marked with P (Port) and S (starboard) and must be installed appropriately.
IMPORTANT Only use original bolts delivered with the Side-Power thruster. Also, avoid contact between the AC motor shaft and the coupling drive shaft. Centa has applied retention Inbus PlusAll glue to all bolts. (NB: The glue will harden within 4-5 hours at 20˚C.) Additional use of any loctite or anaerobic adhesives will destroy the natural vulcanisation of the rubber.

Confi gure the drive in Remote mode by pressing the Loc/Rem button. After being placed in Remote mode, the thruster can now operate from the Side-Power joystick panels. (NB: The PDC-301 drive controller is confi gured as a bow thruster By default. If operated as a stern thruster or in a catamaran confi guration, change the thruster instance from the setup menu of the PJC-2xx control panel.)
Functions and Operation MC_0158 Motor protection functions: Dynamic thrust limitation: If the electric motor winding temperature exceeds 130°C, the PDC 301 limits the maximum thrust output. The maximum thrust permitted will decrease proportionally to increasing temperatures higher than 130°C. (NB: Joystick panel will give an alert when the temperature exceeds 130°C. In this situation, the thruster can still be operated.
