Installation of tail piece and intermediate
flange
Remove the propeller.
Install the gasket between
the tail piece and the thrust
tunnel. Apply a sealant (poly-
urethane* or silicon) between
the tail piece and the gasket
and between the gasket and
the thrust tunnel, and posi-
tion the tail piece into the
hole in the thrust tunnel.
*) e.g. Sikaflex ® -292.
Grease the hole of the inter-
mediate flange and posi-
tion this flange. Grease the
threads of the bolts with 'out-
board gear grease' before
inserting and tightening
them.
Check for possible leaks immediately the ship returns to
water.
Operation manual and installation instructions Bow thruster 75 kgf, ø 185 mm
Final assembly
Grease the propeller shaft
with 'outboard gear grease'
and install the propeller.
The propeller should run a
minimum of 1.5 mm free
of the thrust tube wall, all
round.
Slide the flexible coupling
onto the output spindle of
the electric motor as far as
necessary to allow the end of
the output spindle (A) and the
underside of the flange (B) to
become aligned.
Tighten the lock-screw (C).
Grease the threads of the fas-
tenings bolts with 'outboard
gear grease' and install the
electric motor to the interme-
diate flange.
For a first check, turn the
propeller by hand, it should
turn easily, whilst being con-
nected to the output spindle
of the electric motor.
Check to ensure that the tail-
piece shaft does not come
into contact with the electric
motor shaft.
