side power control panel

[Chuckatuck Ray]

I have a 1998 Albin 28te with a Side Power bow thruster. The control panel for the bow thruster works intermittently. Does anyone have a Side Power Control panel part number 8812, in good condition, for sale? Please contact me on this site or by email (rfaircloth1@verizon.net) if you have one or know where I can find one.
Thanks, Ray

I have a spare pushbutton one but by the time i have sent it over the atalantic - it'll be cheaper to buy a replacement.

Sleipner if i recall are the parent company, you can still buy legacy control panels - i replaced mine for a joystick model not that long ago.

Tree, Thanks for the info on the web site. I'll give it a try. So far I've have zero luck in finding one. IMTRA said I would have to change my motor from a three wire unit to a four wire one and run new wires. It would be much harder than installing an exact replacement.

The thruster panel on enJOYCEment died several years ago. Replaced it with a simple momentary ON-OFF-ON rocker switch. Switch defaults to the OFF position. No problems after several years.

Glad to hear that you found an inexpensive replacement for the Side Power switch. As of this date I have not been able to find a replacement from anyone in the states. I may have to take the same route you did. What does the switch you installed look like; is it about the same size of the side power switch, does it have push buttons or do you turn a switch left or right?
I appreciate you replying to my post. It sure helps getting advice from others in this group.

Best regards,
