Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 2. TUNNEL Once the final tunnel position has been determined and all dimensions have been checked, mark the centre-point of the tunnel on both sides of the hull and drill holes of 8 –10mm ∅ on either side. Using a metal rod, construct a compass with a 132mm radius. Insert through the holes and trace the ellipses, as shown below.
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 DO NOT LAMINATE THE AREA OF THE TUNNEL TO WHICH THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED. 3. COMPOSITE MOTOR SUPPORT AND DRIVE LEG The motor support and the drive leg must be centered in the tunnel. Locate and mark the intended position of the holes for the fixing screws and the leg hub. You can use the motor support and the leg’s gasket to mark these holes. In some cases it will be easier to mark and drill these holes BEFORE laminating the tunnel.
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 4. ELECTRIC MOTOR (12 / 24 volts) The upper coupling (motor side) is adjusted in the factory. Position the lower coupling on the drive leg shaft and push it down as far as it will go (lightly grease the shaft beforehand).
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 It is essential to install a manual battery isolator and if possible an electric battery isolator at the base of the thruster motor power line. When using a manual battery isolator it must be visible, clearly marked & easily accessible. Thruster motor power supply (24V): These values are given as an indication, assuming that the batteries are charged at 100% and in charge, that is 25.4V. The performance data is measured with an approx.
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 10. ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX Install a fused circuit breaker / switch in the boat's main DC distribution panel marked BOW THRUSTER. This circuit breaker / switch should ideally be supplied from a different battery bank to the one used for powering the thruster. The installer must protect the positive supply cable of the thruster’s control box by means of a 8A fuse.
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 12. CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION Control panels should be protected from the natural elements while the thruster is not in use. Install the control panel(s) in easily accessible positions, without obstructing the main engine and/or steering controls. When fixing the panel with the stainless steel screws, make sure to install the pre-cut rubber seal, as supplied with the panel, ensuring that it is in the correct place.
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 13. TESTS Activiating the thruster when the boat is out of the water, is not advised under any circumstances. Tests must be carried out with the boat in the water, the battery(ies) charged at 100% and in charge, and the engines running. The maximum continuous operating runtime corresponds to S2-3mn norm. However, this can be affected by the ambient temperature. 14. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS In normal “usage” mode, i.e.
Manual CT165 & CT225 April 2008 16. ALARMS OR THERMAL SWITCH-OFF The thruster's electric motor is fitted with a thermal switch as standard. If the thruster motor overheats the buzzer in the control panel will start beeping and the green LED in the red-push button will flash until the thruster motor has cooled down again. As soon as the overheating alarm sounds, there are 10 seconds of actual thruster use before the unit automatically shuts down.
