Vetus Thruster

Post by Yearwood »

Last week noted erratic control on thruster. Sometimes functioning properly, other times when operating the green light would go off. Anyone familiar with this problem. Seems like a problem with the joystick controller.

Problem solved. Years ago, after breaking a shear pin, and before a controller casualty partially due to an oversize fuse, I installed the Vetus time delay. A simple plug to receptacle installation. In troubleshooting the current problem I by passed the delay and the thruster worked fine. Cleaned the plug/receptacle contacts, reinstalled the delay and it is all working fine.
