27-OB - Bow thruster maintenance plan?

[gregc]

I've never done a thing to that thruster - and I know the previous owner didn't either.

Is there an accepted annual / semi annual / on demand maintenance plan for these? The idea of loosing that thruster in a tighty docking situation makes me pucker up a bit.

My only thruster maintenance has been replacing the anodes annually. Interested to hear feedback from others.

Oh man. I haven't even thought about that. Any links to docs on how/what?

The R27-OB doesn’t have an anode for the bow thruster.

On my 2021 the brushes in the bow thruster hang up and I have to free them up anualy. The stern is fine.
