The stern thruster on our 2015 Cutwater 28 is behaving strangely. Power is getting to the motor, which trys to move but cannot, the propeller moves freely and the bow thruster is ok.
Is it the motor?
Recommendations?

The motor of the Side-Power SE 30/125 S stern thruster may be malfunctioning if it stops giving thrust while the electromotor is still running. This likely indicates a problem in the drive system. In such a case, immediately stop using the thruster and turn it off to avoid serious damage to the electromotor.
For troubleshooting: - Ensure the batteries are in good condition, as old or bad batteries reduce thruster performance. - Do not disassemble any part of the Ignition Protected stern thruster assembly. - Perform tests as described in the manual and record all measurements before seeking help from a Side-Power dealer or distributor. - Avoid using the thruster out of water for more than one second to prevent motor damage. - Be aware that the thruster is designed to operate only about 10% of the time, depending on temperature and other factors.

• Never store anything (e.g. equipment, sails, ropes etc.) in the same compartment as the thruster. When the thruster runs for a longer period it will get hot and will cause damage. SE 30/125 S - SE 40/125 S - SE 60/185 S 1.0.1- 2008...

• Make sure that your batteries are in a good condition so that the thruster gets a good voltage. Old or bad batteries will give a reduced performance from the thruster. SE 30/125 S - SE 40/125 S - SE 60/185 S 1.0.1- 2008...
