Wow, that's really great. We've been sailing out of the Channel Islands Harbor ( Ventura, California area) on a variety of boats through a sailing club. It would be nice to have good sized boat like yours, lots of room ! <br />

<div>Hi Brian</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just had a bow thruster put in my sailboat, per, my wife’s insistence as
she was the one who had to do the leap of faith to the dock with bow and stern
lines in hand, and it draws a lot of power so I had to put in a dedicated
battery for it but the spec’s say that it will shut off automatically after
three minutes of continues use to prevent any damage from over heating. Might
want to check into that before going that direction?</div>

Carsten,<br />
Do you need to worry about expansion of the oil when the bow thruster motor
heats up? Do you have a remedy for that? or maybe it's not a problem
because you use it only when docking.<br />

<font face="Courier New" size="2">I did this in the
past. Looks cool and second hand lower units are relative unexpensive if you
purchase ouboards with damage heads - but do not work well.
</font><br />
<br />
Special with a oil hydraulic forward and aft shift system it is
nearly impossible. <br />
Needs allways a iddle rpm of the engine to feed the oil
pump and to shift. <br />
Means you have to run forward to shift in reverse and
opposite. <br />
Or need a clunch. <br />
Also the modern units are more complicate in
the shift and oil system than it looks like. <br />

We
scrapp both prototypes and purchase normal electric bowthruster and oil
compensate them. <br />
Was much easier. <br />

<div>Hi <span id="yiv2757626000misspell-8" class="yiv2757626000mark">Psubbers</span></div>
<div>I've been thinking about motor compensation options.</div>
<div>Any thoughts about whether this idea may have any merits?.....</div>
<div>Mount a <span id="yiv2757626000misspell-9" class="yiv2757626000mark">brushless</span> motor vertically on an outboard motor
lower unit gear case</div>
<div>& air compensate it.</div>
<div>The length of the vertical drive shaft from the motor to the gear case
gives</div>
<div>plenty of margin of error for the air compensation system before any
water</div>
<div>could make its way to the motor.</div>
<div>The gearing already exists for the higher speed of the <span id="yiv2757626000misspell-10" class="yiv2757626000mark">brushless</span> motor,
& although</div>
<div>there is an energy loss through the gearing there would be some savings
in </div>
<div>that the motor is not directly in the path of the <span id="yiv2757626000misspell-11" class="yiv2757626000mark">propellor</span>
thrust.</div>
<div>A can would need to be made around the motor & sealed on to the lower
unit.</div>
