Re: Main Furler - Sail stuck / jammed
We furled too loosely and jammed once. We got ours loose the same way. Back and forth, tighten the furler, tighten the outhaul, loosen a bit, then repeat... a lot.

Re: Bow Thruster Amps rating.
The bow thruster is If I recall correctly is 10 HP. 10 hp x 746 watts is 7460 watts without any loss .I would add at east 10% for that, 8200 watts/24=342 amps.
That would be dismissing and loss in

Re: Bow Thruster Amps rating.
Chris,
We shouldn't get into a discussion of what is right or wrong, but rather work to help you. Maybe the math is French math or Texan math, but it will draw as much as around 500 amps.

Re: Bow Thruster Amps rating.
It s forbidden to violat W=VxA, :-) so you have to make a deal with 7000 and/or 510. I guess 24 is right.
Possible you can see W on the motor ?

Bow Thruster Amps rating.
Hi- maybe someone can help me understand... The Super Maramu 2k Manual shows that the bow thruster draws 7000W and 510A at 24V. Is this correct? If so, how does the math work out? W=VxA is violated

Re: Main Furler - Sail stuck / jammed
You have a problem that probably includes the sail twisted backwards on the foil. The guy might be a good electrician, but keep him off the boat.
Drop the motor and gearbox about 30mm by loosening

Re: Main Furler - Sail stuck / jammed
Is it stuck, or is there a blown circuit breaker?
If stuck, the furling foil can be released from the motor gearbox:

With Coppercoat, my understanding is that scraping should be done 2-4 times a year depending on where you are. My question is: does it matter of the hull is not scraped for an extended
