10 - Maintenance

Quick Thrusters are made in materials that are resistant to the sea environment: in any case, it is indispensable to periodically
®
remove salt deposits that form on the outer surfaces to avoid corrosions with consequent system inefficiency.
WARNING: make sure that the power supply to the electric motor is not switched on when maintenance operations
are carried out.
DEPENDING ON USE, PERIODICALLY CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF THE OIL SEALS AND REPLACE THEM IF
NECESSARY.
Dismantle once a year, following the points below:
• Clean propellers, tunnel and gearleg.
• Replace the propellers if damaged or worn out.
• Replace the anodes (replace more frequently if necessary) and, if possible, lubricate the
CV joint with marine grease (fig. 26).
• Check the tightness of all screws.
• Ensure that there is no water seepage inside.
• Check that all electrical connections are well tightened and oxide-less.
• Check that the batteries are in good conditions.
• Eliminate any graphite residues produced by the normal wear of the motor brushes.
WARNING: do not paint the anodes, the seals and the gearleg shafts where the
thrusters are lodged.
