Page 4: Mechanical Installation General
(Please refer to “Build Drawing” at back of this document, see pg 18): GENERAL 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 5: Determining & Marking Up Position
DETERMINING & MARKING UP POSITION a) Remove the counter-mould on the inside of the hull ,in area where thruster will be installed, allowing at least 15 cm on the outside of mounting base position for stratifying the mounting base to the hull. b) Position the thruster inside STERN the hull. -
Page 6: Construction Of The Hull Opening & Closing Plate
CONSTRUCTION OF THE HULL OPENING AND CLOSING PLATE a) Measure & mark the hull pening as mentioned before. b) Trace a parallel line, 10 – 15 mm away from marked-up hull opening, to allow for position of rebate. c) Trace a parallel line, 100 – 150mm away from marked-up position of rebate, to allow form area to be shaved down to allow for the construction of the rebate. -
Page 7: Final Fitting Of The Mounting Base To The Hull
FINAL FITTING OF THE MOUNTING BASE TO HULL WARNING : Please keep in mind that thruster unit will automatically retract after 10 minutes, when in “Normal Operation Mode”. Thus before doing any work on the turbine, please ensure that thruster is in “Manual Mode”. When in doubt remove fuse in supply of the electronic control box. -

(Amp-hour) capacity. This is because thrusters draw high currents, but only for very short periods of time (maximum 3 min.) Max Power would recommend using Exide, Maxxima 900 type batteries, which have an 800CCA and 50Ah capacity. If the dedicated batteries are charged by the alternator, the reference of the charge must be taken after the diode-splitting block (if in doubt, consult a marine electrician). -
Page 17: Power Fuse
An electrical battery isolator, as supplied by Max Power, should also be installed in the positive supply cable, as close as possible to the thruster battery bank, in order to benefit from all automatic safety features of the electronic control system. -
Page 18: Basic Maintenance
This should be done on an annual basis after cleaning of outside of leg. Do not use aggressive solvents as they might damage drive leg seals. Always keep the propellers and tunnel clean. Please contact your closest Max Power distributor for local service points. - Page 19 BUILD DRAWING...

Page 20: Wiring Of Control Box
WIRING OF CONTROL BOX before 2017 NOTES: 1. The installer must protect the positive supply cable by means of a fuse (slow blow) as indicated. The size of these supply wires (min. 2,5mm² with Imax = 15 A) depends on the length of the cable run and the voltage drop in these cables should not exceed 5% of the nominal battery voltage. - Page 21 WIRING OF CONTROL BOX after 2017 NOTES: 5. The installer must protect the positive supply cable by means of a fuse (slow blow) as indicated. The size of these supply wires (min. 2,5mm² with Imax = 15 A) depends on the length of the cable run and the voltage drop in these cables should not exceed 5% of the nominal battery voltage.
