Tunnels for stern Thrusters
Make sure the stern tunnel does not interfere with the water flow under the hull.
• Make sure that, when installed, the thruster does not hinder the operation of existing equipment inside the boat.
• The motor must be supported in a manner that does not place the full weight on the tunnel.
• Make sure that the water flow from the thruster does not intercept the sterndrive engine, the flaps, etc., as any interference would considerably reduce the thrust.
• If necessary, it is possible to install the tunnel in a decentralized location
The motor unit is not waterproof; therefore, installa-tion compartment and motor must ALWAYS be kept dry. All drainage holes and/or possible water inlets must be sealed.
We recommend installing a bilge pump, preferably with an alarm system, in the stern propeller compartment.
