Bow Installation Considerations and Precautions

EN

•  The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment. 
 

(NB: Ignition Protected systems are tested to be installed in areas with possible explosive gases in accordance with ISO 8846)

•  The electro motor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartments must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items  

  becoming dusty/ dirty. 

(NB: IP version motors generate dust but are enclosed.)

•  When installing the thruster electro motor in small compartments, ensure the compartment is well ventilated to allow for cooling of the electro motor.

•  If the height of the room you are installing the thruster is limited, the thruster can be installed horizontally or at any angle in-between. 

    -    If the electro motor is positioned more than 30 degrees off  vertical, it must be supported separately.

    -    Beware of keeping installation within advised measurements. No part of the propeller or gear house must be outside the tunnel.

•  Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiff ener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking with  

  the boat builder this can be done safely.

•  The electro motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.

•  We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling. 

(NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi ttings or propeller shafts)

•  Do not fi nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti- 

  fouling between the tunnel and the props.

•  Don’t install the electro motor close to easily fl ammable objects or equipment as it will reach over 100°C before the temperature switch is activated.

•  Do not store items close to the thruster motor. Any loose items near the thruster motor is a potential fi re hazard and can cause undesired short-   

 circuiting.

MC_0267

NEVER 

Disassemble any part of the Ignition Protected stern thruster assembly. Tampering with the Ignition Protected stern thruster assembly or any attempt 

to disassemble anything on this thruster assembly inside the boat can cause an explosion with severe consequences. If there is a problem with your 

Ignition Protected stern thruster, please contact your dealer.
