Re: A question to the hive mind re Amel 54 (Sleipner side power) Bow thruster capacitor please.

We stored the boat. For longer than intended BT down so as to allow access to change the zincs etc. covid... delays. Boat returns to water. BT working. Delivery skippers sail boat to delivery ship. Local captain helps put ibis on ship can’t get BT back up. We get IBIs off ship in Tahiti. BT stored in partially up/down position. The thruster wasn’t working. Up down or side to side. Replace fuse and up down good. Get into motor and commuter with baked on graphite and dust. Brushes swollen from heat. I think the loading captain worked the hell out of the motor with heavy winds. Polished commuter, trimmed up brushes. Corrosion Xed. Then broke mystery wire... at last step. BT works like a champ. (Without mystery wire) No spark, after reseating brushes minimal dust.

My suspicion is mystery wire is a heat sensor, with an additional connection (long disconnected) from the relays as wires are a jumble entering and exiting an Audi brand additional relay used really as a junction box. It’s a simple machine made heartily complex. I’ll see what the locals say and continue to gently test it. Thanks for your and everyone’s input.
