Vetus bow thruster thermal fuse replacement

[Steve_Brennan]

I have a Vetus Bowthruster (photo of model details attached) that I have found has a blown thermal fuse. I get the red led when I switch on and have tested the thermal fuse to ground and there is no continuity. Placed a short between ground and the thermal fuse terminal where the red connector/black wire plugs in and everything fires up and works.

How do you replace the internal thermal fuse? I can see the wire running in to the top of the bowthruster unit, have taken off the yellow cap top but can’t see what to replace or how? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The thermal trip is bolted onto one of the brush holders.

Take the end cap off the motor & you should see it

I can see where the thermal trip wire goes into the brush holder but can’t see the actual fuse, how it’s secured or what type it is. Does anyone have a video or drawing that shows how to access?
