Manual CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 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 –10 mm ∅ on either side. Using a metal rod, construct a compass with a 100mm radius. Insert through the holes and trace the ellipses, as shown below.
Manual CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 DO NOT LAMINATE THE AREA OF THE TUNNEL TO WHICH THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED. 3. COMPOSITE MOTOR SUPPORT AND DRIVE LEG For the CT60-IP (Mono): The propeller must be at the center of the tunnel. The motor support and the drive leg will therefore not be centered in the tunnel. For the CT80-IP (Duo): The motor support and the drive leg will be centered in the tunnel.
Manual CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 positioning and then tightening the two 8mm ∅ screws alternatively using a 5.5mm Allen key (maximum torque: 25Nm). Check that the propellers rotate freely, without resistance or friction. It is imperative that the holes and the screws remain free of sealing compound, otherwise there is a risk of an incorrect assembly of the parts. Caution: do not use graphite grease.
Manual CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 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: These values are given as an indication, assuming that the batteries are charged at 100% and in charge, that is either 13.8V or 25.4V. The performance data of the CT60-IP / CT80-IP is measured with an approx.
Manual CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 10. ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX WARNING: The electronic controller must be positioned outside of the zone at risk in which there may be potentially flammable gases. 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.
Manual CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 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 CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 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 CT60-IP & CT80-IP April 2009 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.
