Re: Bow thruster does not work in one direvtion

Hi Dimitri;
I think the comcept of operating the bow thruster with the charger on, makes sense to me. The charger simply helps to keep the voltage to the bow thruster as high as the boat is capable, so the current draw by the bow thruster is minimized, again as much as
possible, with everything our boats have at their disposal. Since the power required to run the bow thruster is a function of Voltage (V) x Current (I), the higher the voltage, the lower the current requirement.
Higher currents create higher temperatures and therefore lead to shorter usage time of the bow thruster before the temperature sensor shuts off the bow thruster. It is also less stress on all other functioning parts that have to channel the current to the bow
thruster motor, including the motor itself.
Respectfully;

Perhaps Bill Rouse or other experienced sailors have to comment on that. If the batteries are
well charged by the alternator of the engine and they are not very old I need a second opinion on that issue.
