The bow thruster is powered by the Aux battery and the operating switch is located next to the battery. The main switch (Aux) and the main fuse are located next to the battery.
The batteries must be disconnected from the electronic circuit before changing a fuse. For more information, see the manufacturer’s manual.
Incorrect use may cause overheating and short circuiting, and pose a fire risk.
-
Use the bow thruster for only short periods at a time.
-
Do not exceed four duty cycles (max. 30 seconds long in 25 mins).
If overloading occurs, contact a qualified marine electrician.
-
Do not touch the bow thruster or its fuse if the main switch Aux is switched on.
Even if the current is switched off, we do not recommend changing the windlass fuse, because the high current may cause a fatal electric shock.
