Thruster fail

[Garth]

Out of the blue today my thrusters quit working. No power to helm switch. Battery is charged yet gauge in cabin reads nothing. Fuses all look good, swapped 20 amp fuse out just because. Any thoughts? I am not very mechanically savvy.

20 Amp ?

Is that a typo?

 

[Barry Cohen]

I'm thinking 150 amp?

 

[Garth]

There are two large inline fuseS between the battery switch and the thrusters, also a small 20 amp fuse on the wire to the controller. All look good.

Does the controller have power? Do the indicator lights come on?

 

[knotflying]

If the fuses are okay did you check to see if you ave power to them? First make sure you have a good power source. I would then go through the troubleshooting sequence. It could very well be the joy stick controller. The troubleshooting guide bypasses it to confirm it is either good or bad.

 

[Garth]

The controller does not have power. May I ask what the troubleshooting sequence is and where I find this?

There is a tiny fuse inside the thruster controller, maybe 5 amps.
