INTRODUCTION
The installation quality is detriment for the efficiency and reliability of the bow thruster. Nearly all the problems encountered result from
errors or improper installations. Therefore is highly suggested to follow and check, during the installation, all the points present in the
installation manual.
Ensure the boat owner have a manual.
WARNING !
Ensure to checked and have all the safety requirement standards for the use of Bow thruster.
The bow thruster should not be operated close to swimmers because of the large amount of water pulled during
the operation.
Professional competent personnel should effect the tunnel installation or modifications.
We recommend having the bow thruster installed by qualified personnel. An incorrect installation could lead the boat
and its personnel in danger.

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 the 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 prevent 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 should not be connected until the bow thruster
installation is complete.

2.1 TUNNEL LOCATION
Point of Boat
Rotation
B = 9 mt
A = 10 mt
Fig. 2
Tunnel
Fig. 1
Fig. 5
To obtain the best result, locate the tunnel of the bow
thruster as close as possible to the bow of the boat
(Fig. 1). Because of the leverage effect, the thrust of the unit is
detriment from the distance from the tunnel relative to the
rotation point of the boat. (Fig. 2).
Example:
A: 55Kg of thrust x 10m of leverage = 550Kgm Torque.
B: 55Kg of thrust x 9m of leverage = 495Kgm Torque.
In position A is noted a 10% of torque more.
In a plaining hull boat, locating the tunnel in such a way will
result with the tunnel over the water line level, so to avoid
any obstacle. (Fig. 3).
In case of large dimension boats, one can install two bow
thrusters one after the other. In this case, according to
meteorological conditions, the units can be used separately or
simultaneously (Fig. 4).
The position of the tunnel has to be as low as possible for the
following reasons (Fig. 5):
•
To prevent from any air which can be pulled resulting in
weakening the thrust available.
•
To have the highest pressure of water possible to utilise
the maximum efficiency of the propeller.
Generally the highest part of the tunnel must be 1/2 x Diameter
of the tunnel bellow the water line level. This is just the
minimum possible but we recommend that at least 3/4 x
Diameter under the water line. The optimal distance is
approximate 1/1 x Diameter.
The optimal length of the tunnel should be 2 or 4 times the
diameter of the tunnel; must be avoided tunnels longer than
6/7 times the diameter, to avoid losses of thrust. Should the
tunnel be so long, the internal distance will reduce the velocity
of water and so the thrust. Should the tunnel be very short
(normally in the lower part of the tunnel) could result in
cavitations and so reduction of the performance and create
noise (Fig. 6 e 7).

2.2 LOCATING THE BOW THRUSTER IN THE TUNNEL
Bow-thruster

Support
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
At the moment of locating the position of the propeller in the
tunnel is necessary to keep present that the tail piece should
NOT protrude out of the tunnel. The bow thruster should
preferably be located at the centre of the boat and also
reachable from the external. (Fig. 8).
The motor could be mounted in various positions. If the motor
is located horizontally, or at a degree larger than 30°respect to
the vertical, is absolutely necessary to support the motor. The
motor should always be located above the highest level of the
drainage water. (Fig. 9).

NB: The way the tunnel is located in the hull
influence enormously the thrust of the propeller and
the drag of the hull during normal sailing.
We recommend rounding as possible the connections between
the tunnel and the hull. The optimal radius is that of 10% the
diameter of the tunnel. The advantages over a connection with
sharp edges are:
•
A tunnel with extreme radius prevents the creation of
turbulence and cavitations avoiding losses of thrust and
noise (Fig. 10 e 11).
•
A tunnel with extreme curve helps the bow thruster to pull
more water along the hull sides, creating a suction that pulls
the boat laterally, resulting in an added thrust (Fig. 12 e 13).
•
To avoid any loss of performance, the tunnel inlet can be
modified to increase the thrust and reduce noise (Fig. 14). The
best solution that normally reduce resistance and realise a
reassess in the hull behind the tunnel. Basically one would not
see the back part of the tunnel when looking from the front of
the boat. The angle of the insert on the hull depends on the
shape of the hull, but is normally inclined slightly toward the
bottom because of the water flow in this location of the hull. The
resistance can be highly reduced, especially in fast boats,
creating a deflector / spoiler on the front of the tunnel. The
shape and the dimension of this deflector depend on the shape
of the hull.
20
ENG
ATTENTION!
We recommend that a professional person do the
tunnel installation. These instructions are only
general, and do not explain in details the fibreglass
works. Problems resulting from incorrect installation
are to be followed by the installers.
•
Located the position on the boat according to the information
submitted in the previous paragraphs, drill two holes in the hull
to locate the centre of the tunnel (Fig. 15).
•
Pass the instrument to draw the profile of the tunnel (not
supplied) though the holes drilled and draw the external
diameter of the tunnel on the hull (Fig. 16).
•
Once drawn on the hull, cut the two opening by means of the
appropriate tools. (Fig. 17a-17b).
•
Insert the tunnel (Fig. 18).
POLIESTER TUNNEL
Resin The type of resin used for polyester tunnels is a polyester resin with an isopholic acid base (Norpol PI 2857).
Treatment
The external part of the tunnel must be clean. Utilizing a grinding disc, remove all the superior layers till the
fibreglass.
Important
Treat the end of the tunnel with resin, after you have marked and cut to length the tunnel required. By this you
ensure that humidity will penetrate in the material.
As a first coat apply a layer of resin. Apply a mesh of glass fibre and coat with resin; repeat this operation until
a sufficient number of layers have been applied.
A polyester tunnel must be finished as follows: (Fig. 19):
•
Sand the hardened fibreglass mesh.
•
Apply a layer of resin.
•
Treat the ends of the tunnel, which come in contact with
the water example with eposidice lacquer or with a two
pack polyurethane pain.
•
Apply consecutively an antifouling paint.

Mark the centre of the tunnel and the centre of the boat.
At the centre of the template (supplied) mark the centre of the
holes and re-check the dimensions. All the holes must be
aligned with precision to the dimensions of the tunnel, as the
tolerance between the tunnel and the propeller is very little
(Fig. 20).
No fibreglass work has to be done in the area where the motor
flange will be located. The flange has to be assembled directly
on the tunnel; if the surface of the tunnel is not smooth, it has
to be smoothed out with sand paper until all the humps or the
non-uniform parts are removed, to render the surface perfectly
smooth.

Fig. 24
rotates freely with the same distance between each blade and
the tunnel. Should the tunnel not be smooth, use example
Sikaflex to prevent from any leaks. (Fig. 21).
Insert the two O-rings in the appropriate place on the inside of
the principal hole of the motor flange; verify that there is some
oil or grease before assembling the tail piece. (Fig. 22).
Install the gasket between the tail and the tunnel. Between the
tail and the gasket apply some sealer (polyurethane* or
silicone), and then locate the tail in the hole of the tunnel. Ex:
Sikaflex®-240 or Sikaflex®-241 (Fig. 23).
Drill the principal hole and then the two screw holes and clean
properly.
Push the tail piece though the principal hole of the tunnel and
push the tail piece and the motor flange slowly one towards the
other. Screw the tail piece to the flange with the screws
supplied (Fig. 24). Tight to a torque of 17Nm/12.4 lb/ft.
Try to operate the bow thruster tail piece with the use of the
gasket from the inside of the tunnel. Try to rotate the propeller
to ensure that it is centred respect to the tunnel and that it
If the bow thruster is installed to horizontal angle, the filling
tube must always be inclined to the vertical, so that the oil
flows freely into the tail piece.
ATTENTION !
Control that there are no leaks immediately after putting the boat in water.

Grease the propeller shaft with ‘outboard gear grease’ and
install the propeller (Fig. 25).
The propeller should run a minimum of 1,5 mm free of the
thrust tube wall, all round (Fig. 26).
Measure dimension ‘B’ and calculate dimension ‘A’;
A=B+0,33”. Loosen the lock-screw of the coupling-bushing.
Adjust dimension ‘A’ and re-tighten the lock-screw (Fig. 27).
Grease the threads of the fastenings bolts with ‘outboard gear
grease’ and install the electric motor to the intermediate flange.
For a first check, turn the propeller by hand, it should turn
Fig. 29
easily, whilst being connected to the output spindled of the
electric motor (Fig. 28).
Assemble the oil reservoir over the water line level at a
height minimum of 500mm/20in. So that to ensure that there is
sufficient over pressure of oil in the tail piece. (Fig. 29). Ensure
that the tube does not form any air traps, which will restrict the
oil, to flow freely and that it has a correct angle that the oil
flows freely to the tail piece. Fill the reservoir with gear oil type
EP90.

motor in a way that the seating of the safety shear pin is in line
with that of the security pin on the shaft of the electric motor.
The electric motor could be positioned in any direction on the
flange. Verify that the cable terminals are available for the
following electrical installation.
Slide slowly the electric motor on the pilot shaft and the motor
flange. It could be necessary to move it on either side to

ATTENTION!
The maximum duration of operation and the
thrust indicated in the technical data are based
on the relative recommendations of the battery
capacity and the length of cables.
The use of higher capacity batteries in
combination with short cables and large cross
section cables than recommended, will increase
the thrust. In such case reduce the maximum
operating time, to prevent from damaging the
motor.
In extreme case, for example, when batteries with 5
volts capacity or more than that suggested are
utilized, there is the danger that the security shear
pin breaks more frequently
Also there is the danger that one or both shafts coupling
get damaged permanently:
• The coupling between the electric motor shaft
and the pilot shaft on the tail piece
• The coupling between the propeller shaft and
the propeller.
Check that the voltage indicated on the motor tag corresponds
with the voltage of onboard. Position the batteries or place
them as close as possible to the bow thruster. The supply
cable can therefore be short, reducing to a minimum the
voltage drop.
Its important to utilise adequately sized cables and batteries
with elevated capacity at cold for the supply of the unit
because is the effective voltage in correspondence with the
motor when the unit is operated which determines the revs of
the motor and so the thrust.

A main switch (A) capable to take the load without losses has
to be connected in line to the main positive supply, in a way
that the unit could be isolated independently from other
equipment on board when no one is on board or in case of
emergency. This has to be installed in an easily accessible
place and on the instructions of the boat has to be noted that
this has to be turned off as well as other main switch on board.
(Fig. 31).
We recommend also installing a fuse (B) on the positive as a
protection against short circuit of the main cables. Such fuse
2x0000
must be of premium quality that is its standard explains the
physical quality dimensions, which fuse offer low voltage
resistance with respect to other simple smaller fuses. The fuse
must be of a slow blow type and dimensioned in such a way
that it can resist the nominal current for at least 5 minutes.

Install the control panel on the dashboard. A free space of at
lease 50 mm must be left free behind the panel. (Fig. 32).
Install the coupling cable between the bow thruster unit and
the control panel from the internal of the boat and connect the
plugs. If necessary cut the cable and re-connect ensuring that
the cables are placed according to colours.
N.B. The cable colours could be different from the
coupling cable utilized on the motor or on the
control panel!
Its possible to install a delay switch between the bow thruster
and the control panel (BTRIT), which will give the time
necessary to the electric motor to stop from rotating, when in a
single moment switching from port to starboard and port again.
If there are two stations, the second can be connected to the
first.
If it happens that during testing the direction of thrust does not
correspond with the direction of the switch on the control
panel, the blue cable (A) and the white cable (B) on the relay
must be inverted (Fig. 33).
ATTENTION!
Do not test the Bow-Thruster when the boat is out of water, or at least you are sure that no one is close to the
tunnel. When the boat is out of water do not operate the motor for more that 5 seconds.
ENG
The end of the cables must be terminated with terminals and
these must be well insulated, excluding any contact with any
other contact point that can be connected.

4 FUNCTION
According to the lateral area exposed to the wind, the fly
bridge and the shape of the boat, the thrust generated by the
bow thruster will result differently from one boat to another.
•
Install the bars in the tunnel opening only if strictly
necessary.
The nominal thrust is achieved only in optimal conditions.
Respecting the following recommendations the bow thruster
will last longer and obtain better performance:
Ensuring that the operation the battery voltage is correct.
•
Perform regularly the maintenance operations.
The installation must be performed in respect to the
recommendations indicated in the installation instructions, with
particular reference to:
•
Do not rotate the propeller for long; for thermal protection
reasons, the maximum duration is limited. After some time
of operation, the motor must be left to cool down.
•
Limit voltage drop along the battery cables utilizing
sufficient diameter.
•
The way the tunnel is connected to the hull.
The maximum duration of operation, that is also the maximum
hour duration of operation, is for BT100Kgf-12Vdc/24Vdc 3min
a 650A/420A.
ATTENTION!
During operation of the bow thruster pay attention to swimmers or small boats that might be close to the opening of
the tunnel.
If two control panels are installed, do not operate simultaneously the two
joysticks.
Main Switches
•
Switch on the main switch (Fig. 34).
•
Push switch “ON/OFF”. The lamp will light and the propeller is ready for use.
•
The motor will be activated through the switch selected.
Fig. 34
ATTENTION!
Do not pass in one moment from port to star port or vice versa, but give time to the motor to stop rotating
completely, before start rotating in the opposite direction.
•
After the bow thruster is used turn the switch “ON/OFF” again.
•
Before going down the boat, turn the main switch off.

5 MAINTENANCE
Cap
Oil Reservoir
Fig. 35
Tail-piece
Check regularly the oil level in the reservoir. In the beginning
the level will go down a little, until the tail piece is filled
completely with oil. If necessary top up with gear oil type EP90
(Fig. 35).
Replace oil at least every two years. Check the quality of oil in
the tail piece each time the boat is brought out to dry.
•
During the first maintenance on shore, tighten the bolts
that hold the tail piece to the motor flange with the torque
specified in the installation manual.
•
Keep the tail piece and the propeller clean, paint with an
anti fouling paint before every season.
•
Remove the drain plug from the tail piece.
•
Allow all the oil to drain out. Fill the tank with fresh oil
and refit the drain plug as soon as oil begins to run out.
•
Fill up the tank to the correct level.
•
Clean the propeller shaft, grease with ‘outboard gear
grease’ and refit the propeller on the shaft.
During the seasonal maintenance of the boat, and before
every season, control always that:
•
The propeller is firmly tight.
•
The holding bolts of the electric motor with the flange are
properly tight.
•
The area where the bow thruster is located is clean and
dry; should water or humidity be present, identify the
source and eliminate.
•
N.B. It’s not necessary to paint the zinc anode, the
oil seals and the propeller shaft.
•
Remove the propeller. Check the propeller shaft seal (A)
(2 seals) and renew if necessary.
•
Check the cathodic protection and if necessary renew
the zinc anode.
•
All the electrical connections are clean and properly
connected.
•
Change the oil; this must be done at least every two to
four years.
•
Ensure that the batteries are in good condition in a way
that the bow thruster receives enough voltage. Old
batteries or defective cause loss in performance of the
bow thruster.
N.B. For battery maintenance is necessary to follow
the
instructions
supplied
by
the
proper
manufacturer.
•
Check the quality of oil in the tail piece each time the
boat is brought out to dry.

5.1 TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Solution
1) The electromotor runs, but there is no thrust
If the shearpin between the motor and driveshaft inside the boat is
broken
Replace shearpin and check the motor installation to ensure
correct connection of the shearpin before re-fitting the electromotor
Is the propeller in the tunnel fastened correctly on the prop-shaft

internal gear and bearing system.
2) The thruster has an unexpected low performance.
Check the voltage at the thruster while you are trying to run it.
- If less than 10,5V/21Vdc at the thruster the voltage is to low for
the thruster to operate correctly.
- The battery is flat.
- The battery capacity is reduced because of very low
temperatures
- Bad electrical connection(s) due to e.g. corrosion.
Check that all the brush-springs sits correctly on the brushes in the - If one or more brushes are loose/has no tension from the brushelectromotor.

Check that the battery main switch is “ON”.
- Switch on battery main switch.
Check if main fuse has burn out.
- Check electrical cables, connections and then substitute the fuse.
Check the voltage at the thruster while you are trying to run it. - If less than 8,5V at the thruster the voltage is to low for the

and correct the reason for this low voltage which will probably be
one or more of these points:
- main battery cable sizes and connections
- battery size and condition
- fuse and main power switch performance.
If the main solenoids on the thruster are not even trying to engage
(clicking) they are probably not getting a "run" signal from the
control system. Try to run the thruster without the panel by directly
connecting the red and the blue or the red and the white wires in
the control cable contact coming from the thruster
- If the thruster runs in both directions, try the same in the
connector that goes into the back of the control panel. If it also
works in this position, check the contact and wires on the back of
the panel. If the panel does not turn on, measure the voltage
between the red (+) and the black (-) in the contact going into the
thruster. If the voltage is good, chances are that the panel is not
working.
If the thruster does not run at all, or only in one direction in the - If wire connections are correct and the electric motor doesn’t run,

solenoids to be in accordance with the wiring diagram.
4) The bow thruster loses oil
Check if an oil leak is noticed inside the vessel.
- First check the hose and its connections.
- Check the oil seal on the input shaft of the tail piece.
Check if no oil is seen inside the vessel.
- Check the propeller shaft oil seal in the cover of the tail piece.
