Hi all - my bow thruster (R-25 Classic) stops working after what seems to be a short time of use. I presumed it was overheating but I do hear a solenoid "click" when I try to operate it. Does anyone know if that is in keeping with overheating, or does the click indicate that low voltage is the problem and a new battery is needed? Thank you!
 
These units are very sensitive for correct voltage, if the battery is low you will have problems.
Here's a link from Side Power for thruster maintenance. http://www.ipyoa.com/media/kunena/attac ... enance.pdf
At the bottom of the page is their phone number, give them a call and ask for a technician, they are located in MA.
Let us know what the problem is when you get it it figured out.
