It seems as though Cream Puff was built pre-fuse era. Could some please post a good picture and if you have knowledge of the wire gauge on the pos wire to the bow thruster motor, that would be helpful

Olivier, This seems to be a tough road. I will follow your guidance. The interesting thing is that the leakage comes and goes erratically.

Good evening, originally, there was no fuse protecting the jack motor. In case of a rope caught in the bowthruster foot, the motor was unable to lift the unit all the way up and this caused the motor

Does anyone know which specific size drive gear I need wheninstalling Raymarine Type II rotary drive. I'm replacing my original NECO autopilot in my 1987 AMELMaramu #231. I have all new Raymarine

Good morning Eric, Glad my pictures are useful! To answer: “What causes the fuse to blow”. In “my” case, one of the sensors stop working, I was bringing up the bow thruster, it did not stop

Hope we get to hoist a glass, Eric. Kent

Andrew, Thank you- I just mentioned that in my previous post. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Derick, Kimberlite was built for me. Sounds like a simple fuse in the Jack motor circuit should do the trick. I will investigate further. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Kent, I hope to be around at that time. I would not miss Block island and Newport. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

In circuit terms the fuse goes in either one of the wires going to the linear actuator motor (jack motor) - I do remember someone posting that they had simply cut the wire going to the motor and put

Eric, In my case, I did not remember to bring up the bow thruster until I was out of the harbor and in about a 4 foot chop, and the extra wave motion when I did bring it up caused the tip of the

Thanks Eric, Ric, and Derick, Anyplace else on Long Island Sound besides Mystic Seaport that's a "must do"? New London / Groton has a Submarine Museum I'd like to see. Eric, I should be in Huntington

Derick, Looking at Alexandres photo of his control box, the fuse appears to be inserted into the circuit board. It is interesting that his boat is a lower hull number and yours is a higher hull

Eric, Having blown that fuse once already, I think it is a good idea to have one. I am not on the boat at present, so I cannot send a more detailed picture of how it is connected. Perhaps someone

I was working on the bow thruster to grease the spline. I decided to open the control box mounted on the jack assembly. Unlike photos posted by Alexandre my control box has no fuse, should I mount one

Good evening Martin, to make sure the problem comes from the depth sounder, you should disconnect the negative wire of the supply. If you mean the B&G Hydra 3000 depth sounder, this would sound

Kent, I have always loved Hadley Harbor and Cuttyhunk, both of them in the Elizabeth Islands off of Woods Hole. Both are beautifully quiet, rustic New England harbors on a small scale. I have not been

Yes, I made a mistake. The capacitors are 30mf each. I split the motor looking for a centrifugal switch to disconnect the "start capacitors". There was none, making the existing ones run capacitors

Hi Ric, I'll have a look when I get better internet access. You got pics on the group site? Kent

Many thanks Andy for the feedback. We do want to change the current arrangement because of aesthetics and the leaking under the sink. Alex Paquin
