Manual CT325 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 168mm radius. Insert through the holes and trace the ellipses, as shown below.
Manual CT325 April 2008 DO NOT LAMINATE THE AREA OF THE TUNNEL TO WHICH THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED. 3. 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 CT325 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). Place the flexible red coupler on the drive leg side coupling, (part n° 5 on the CT325 – Spare Parts diagram, page 13) Now fit the electric motor onto the motor support and tighten the four 12mm Ø motor support screws alternatively (maximum torque: 40Nm).
Manual CT325 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 of the CT325 is measured with an approx.
Manual CT325 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 CT325 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 CT325 April 2008 14. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS In normal “usage” mode, i.e. thrusters running, boat in the water, with fully charged batteries under ongoing charge (alternator), electrical measurements should be made at the following points: At the batteries At the battery cut-off switch At the fuse At the electric motor’s connections At the power supply arriving at the thruster control box These measurements will enable you to detect voltage drop.
Manual CT325 April 2008 17. SAFETY Switch off means to cut the power at both the DC equipment panel (control power supply) & the thruster battery isolator (thruster power supply) after having used the thruster. Under no circumstances should any flammable products be stored next to the electric components of the thruster. Care must be taken not to use the thruster in areas where there may be people swimming or in the water close to the thruster.
