  • Page 3: General Installation Guidelines

    1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES In order to install the thruster in the most efficient position, follow the instructions below: • The minimum acceptable tunnel position is 139 mm below the waterline • The tunnel is ideally positioned when the distance between the waterline and the top of the installed tunnel is 185 mm •...
  • Page 4: Tunnel

    2. TUNNEL Once the final tunnel position has been determined and all dimensions have been checked, mark the centre-point of the tunnel on both sides of the hull and drill holes of 8 –10mm ∅ on either side. Using a metal rod, construct a compass with a 100mm radius. Insert through the holes and trace the ellipses, as shown below.
  • Page 5: Composite Motor Support And Drive Leg

    DO NOT LAMINATE THE AREA OF THE TUNNEL TO WHICH THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED. 3. COMPOSITE MOTOR SUPPORT AND DRIVE LEG The motor support and the drive leg must be centered in the tunnel. Locate and mark the intended position of the holes for the fixing screws and the leg hub. You can use the motor support and the leg’s gasket to mark these holes.

    4. ELECTRIC MOTOR (12 / 24 volts) The upper coupling (motor side) is adjusted in the factory. Position the lower shouldered coupling on the drive leg shaft and push it down as far as it will go (lightly grease the shaft beforehand).
  • Page 7: Main Power Fuse

    Thrusters are high amperage consumers with instantaneous demands, thus, we recommend you use maintenance-free “starting” type batteries, with high CCA outputs. Example: Battery: Exide Maxxima900 12V Capacity: 55 Ah CCA: 800 Thruster Batteries number CT100-IP 12 V 3 serials CT125-IP 24 V 2 parallels + 2 serials www.max-power.com...
  • Page 8: Electronic Control Box

    10. ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX WARNING: The electronic controller must be positioned outside of the zone at risk in which there may be potentially flammable gases. Install a fused circuit breaker / switch in the boat's main DC distribution panel marked BOW THRUSTER.
  • Page 9: Control Panel Installation

    12. CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION Control panels should be protected from the natural elements while the thruster is not in use. Install the control panel(s) in easily accessible positions, without obstructing the main engine and/or steering controls. When fixing the panel with the stainless steel screws, make sure to install the pre-cut rubber seal, as supplied with the panel, ensuring that it is in the correct place.
  • Page 10: Electrical Measurements

    14. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS In normal “usage” mode, i.e. thrusters running, boat in the water, with fully charged batteries under ongoing charge (alternator), electrical measurements should be made at the following points: At the batteries At the battery cut-off switch At the fuse At the electric motor’s connections At the power supply arriving at the thruster control box These measurements will enable you to detect voltage drop.
  • Page 11: Safety

    17. SAFETY Switch off means to cut the power at both the DC equipment panel (control power supply) & the thruster battery isolator (thruster power supply) after having used the thruster. Under no circumstances should any flammable products be stored next to the electric components of the thruster.
