4 COMPOSITE DRIVE LEG
The installation of the composite drive leg is identical to that of bronze leg, except for the
following points:
The composite drive leg is lubricated for life
The composite drive leg does not require an anode.
The composite drive leg MUST NOT BE DISMANTLED even partially.
5 ELECTRIC MOTOR
Position the motor on the support:
Insert the shaft of the motor into the slot of the leg (grease before fitting).
Position the motor and tighten screws (30 Nm).
Turn the motor & leg over by hand by turning a mounted propeller .If there is a hard point
then the drive leg is badly positioned in the tunnel creating a bad motor / leg alignment ,this
can cause drive leg shaft failure.
6 PROPELLER (S)
Check that the propellers turn freely and that there is no tight spot. A certain resistance is
normal from the motor.
When all is assembled and all screws are torqued down then continue the installation.
RECOMMENDATION: For prevention of calcium build-up on the propellers shaft, which
would damage the oil seals, we recommend to apply silicon grease to shaft and oil seals
before fitting the propeller(s).
Fit the fixing pins and propellers.
POSITION THE PROPELLERS OPPOSED AND NOT FACE-TO-FACE.
Tighten the fixing screws as recommended for the model:
SUPER POWER SERIES 60 to 125: Allen screw 3 mm must not protrude more than 2 mm out
from the hub of the propeller. If the Allen screw protrudes out more than 2 mm, THE
PROPELLER IS NOT CORRECTLY IN PLACE AGAINST THE PIN.
7 PROTECTION GRILLS
On certain installations which are close to the waterline, it may be necessary to fit protection
grills. However, these grills will modify the thruster performance.
8 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ATTENTION: An incorrect electrical installation will cause rapid deterioration / failure of the
unit. Excessive voltage drop will cause relay and brush failure. Special attention should be
given to the quality, capacity and condition of your batteries, and cable sizes.
REMEMBER: Take care to tighten correctly all electrical connections.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should any inflammable products be stored next to the
electrical components of the thruster.
WARNING: It is essential to install a manual and if possible an electric battery isolator at the
base of the thruster motor supply line .
When using a manual battery isolator it must be, visible, clearly marked & easily accessible.
