10. u do everything possible to ensure that the thruster stays dry at all times The electromotor and and solenoid system is not to be considered as waterproof and will be dammaged if they keep getting wet rust and corriosion Therefore the thrusters installation compartment must be kept dry at all times This is more difficult for a sternthruster installation than for a bowthruster installation as the sternthruster has to be fitted in the bilge at the stern of the boat This is generally a wet area that must be transformed into a dry area Important precautions You must seal all drain holes going into the compartment of the thruster The surrounding compartments and any plates or compartments above must be drained in a good way to the bilge area in front of the thrusters installation compartment Ifthe propeller shaft or other moving parts with a high possibility for leakage comes through the bottom of the boat in the same compartment where the thruster is placed you must make a seperate compartment for the thruster isolating it from these very normal and highly probable water leakages The rudder shaft entrances to the boat and its surroundings must be drained so that any water coming in here are drained to go into the compartment in front of the sternthruster compartment tis also important to ensure that the sternthrusters installation compartment will not be were water runs if a self draining system of the boat deck fails t
