Is it correct that the bow thruster on the Super Maramu is 500 Amps? And that is at 24 volts? The thruster on my Maramu has a 100 amp breaker installed by Amel ( it has never tripped so I assume the normal draw is something below 100 amps) and the voltage is only 12 volts so if my math is right it is about 1.5 hp which is good up to about 15 knots or so. 500 Amps at 24 volts would be about 16 hp? Can you tell me the size of the original Amel breaker that is installed on the Super Maramu? Thanks for all of your past help with my Amel. And to update you on the bow thruster leakage. After replacing the seals as instructed, the thruster did not leak at all this season. The thruster has also been 100% reliable thus far and is a tremendous asset IMO. I will consider adding some inline fuses to my boat as well just in case of a major short. Best, James Alton SV Sueno, Maramu #220
