Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bowthruster Problem

Hi Dimitris,

yes you are right. You don't need expensive equipment to read the current taken by the bow thruster motor. The Link 10 will show the discharge current for free. I may have been mistaken about the 160 amps that I thought the motor normally draws. It's been several years since I measured it. As I have been deprived of my boat since last October, I cannot do a test at the moment and see what it should be, but I am sure that there are others out there who could operated the joystick and see what current the Link 10 is showing? It would be a good comparison for you. If they are also showing around 300 amps, then you are probably OK. This seems to fit the calculation. I hope to be back on board Crusader mid May, and I will do a similar test and let you know. As I have to sail to Malta to complete VAT paid formalities, I may well be in your area after a visit to Croatia. Time for an ouzo or two? Do you have on board email and SSB? Fair winds Yasu Ian Shepherd (Larnaca Cyprus)
