INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 Your thruster is a high quality technical product and should be treated as such. The employment of qualified marine personnel, with experience in bow thruster installation, is strongly advised. Where possible, the boat manufacturer’s architects, design departments and/or shipyards should be consulted, prior to installation taking place.
INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDLINES Decide on the best location for the thruster. (See drawing: “Positioning & Measurements” at back of manual). The tunnel must be as low as possible and as far forward as possible. The propellers must not protrude beyond the hull line.
INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 Fit the tunnel and mark the areas to be fibre-glassed. Sand these areas inside and out. In certain installations it is preferable to drill the position of the thruster support before the installation of the tunnel. Refit the tunnel. Apply reinforced fibreglass filler to all areas, taking care that you fill the gap between hull and tunnel.
INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 4. THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR Insert the lower drive coupling onto the leg drive shaft (lightly grease the shaft before doing this). Then position the motor and tighten the 4 x 12 mm to 80Nm. IMPORTANT: Please note that the above coupling might need to be adjusted if any other tunnel than a Max Power tunnel (thickness 12-14mm) is used.
INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 7. HYDRAULIC (general remarks) A typical installation of the hydraulic power thruster requires the following elements: oil reservoir/tank hydraulic pump directional control valve hydraulic motor circuit piping oil cooler (depending on type of installation) The oil reservoir/tank with return filter and suction strainer should be as close to the pump as possible and on charge.
INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 The hydraulic directional control valve (DCV) must be equipped with a pressure gauge and pressure relief valve and should preferably be placed as close as possible to the thruster unit. The piping can be flexible or a mix of rigid and flexible type and should have crimp-connected fittings.
