Bit PBO this one, sorry: I've got a sidepower sp75t bowthruster in my T40, there's an oil pipe leading away and upwards from the thruster, routed out to the port side of the boat. It disappears into the gap between hull and and the floor moulding somewhere immediately to the side of the front cabin bed.

Does anybody know where the remote reservoir is located? There's oil in the pipe, which suggests there's no immediate prob - but I'd like to be able to check it, regardless.

try inside the base of the wardrobe or lift the mattress on the bed and it may be under a screw off round hatch in the corner

Excellent, thanks. Under the mattress, at the head of the bed, under a panel I had never noticed before. Cheers for that.
