San Diego Lewmar bow thruster
|
Lewmar 300TT Tunnel Thruster. The bow thruster installation is complete. It is a tight fit, but the holding tank was allowed to remain in place. The batteries are Mastervolt AGM, chosen for their small footprint while providing nearly the same Amperage and costing the same as the much larger 8D AGM's.
Hook up was relitevely simple, with a high current on-off switch, a high current fuse and heavy cables. The joysticks are plug and play.
The electric motor weighs 150lbs, it wasn't easy slipping it in place, but on the third or fouth attempt, it dropped right on.
