Summary

Declaration of Conformity

Technical Specifications

Core Components Specifications

Details on motor, gearhouse, tunnel, and propeller construction and materials.

Operational and Safety Features

Information on battery requirements, max usage time, and safety mechanisms.

Planning and Important Precautions

Warranty Voiding Conditions

Faulty installation of tunnel, thruster, or panel voids all warranty.

Positioning of the Tunnel / Thruster

Thruster Depth Placement

Place thruster as deep as possible for optimal water pressure and efficiency.

Optimal Tunnel Length

Recommended tunnel length is 2-4x tunnel diameter to avoid friction and cavitation.

Tunnel Ends

Preventing Turbulence Cavitation

Rounded tunnel ends prevent turbulence cavitation and reduce noise.

Improving Water Intake

Curved ends improve water intake, providing additional thrust via vacuum.

Alternative Tunnel Ends

Angled tunnel to hull connections offer similar benefits to rounded ends.

Prevent Drag from Tunnel

Hull Recess for Drag Reduction

Recess the hull at the tunnel's rear to eliminate drag from the tunnel end.

Tunnel Deflector/Spoiler

Install a deflector/spoiler in front of the tunnel to redirect water flow.
