Side-Power bowthruster shot?

yea 50+ kgs does wonderful things for the 28. I have a 50 and cant imagine not having at least that much power - I actually want to go even bigger (60-75kg) to really make the nose dance...lol

Did you upgrade from the vetus? The motor I bought was for the 55 or 60 side-power thruster. It could very well be the one that powers the SP60 as on one battery it kills all my electronics while running. I'll definitely upgrade to the q-prop before next year.

Also I just want to say that I had to upgrade my controls at the helm from a 3 wire system to a 5 wire (only 4 used) and that little interface is like $350!

Nope it's the factory 50kg vetus the PO ordered when he bought the boat new.

Would like to know this as well - I have a 1994 with the 'old style' Vetus 1.5kw thruster. I can't find a secondary fuse for the thruster control panel, just the main one next to the motor (I also don't know how many amps this should be).

I did find out that there is a fuse in the back of the helm switch. I've needed to replace the solenoid as it only fires in one direction.
