Sidepower Bowthruster

[Gryphon2]

I have a small oil leak from my thruster. Any idea how easy it is to replace the appropriate seal? I assume the boat needs to be out of the water?

Yes you’ll have to be lifted.

Thank you.

Another problem. Unused for a while. Power is good, solenoid is clicking like mad for either direction but motor doesn't run so I assume a motor problem. Can I remove the motor from the bracket on top of the tunnel while I'm afloat or is that a recipe for disaster?

Yes you should be able to remove the motor. I’d speak to Osmotec in Hamble for further advise.

Thanks for your reply. I'd just found a motor overhaul instruction sheet on the old inter-web. Twice assured with pictures to guide me I'm set to go.

I would be grateful if you would post the link to that instruction sheet. Thanks.
