2 INSTALLATION RECCOMENDATIONS
Its important to install along the positive supply line a main
switch and a fuse in order to isolate completely the supply of
the bow thruster and protect the bow thruster from any
overcharging and protect the line from short circuits. The
position on board should be easily accessible and known by
the person in charge on the boat. The supply line of t he bow
thruster has to be disconnected when no one is on board.
The electric bow thruster utilise high power motor, and is
therefore necessary to utilise batteries with sufficient capacity
and cables of sufficient diameter to prev ent from problems of
power loss and overheating.
The location where the bow thruster’s electric motor and the
batteries’ are located should be dry and well ventilated.
The batteries s hould not be connected until the bow thruster
installation is complete.
