Total sealing height for mounting bolts: 5.3. GRP adapter installation (see Fig. 23)

1. Determine the installation site and mark the positions on the
hull.
Example: total sealing height with hull thickness 30 mm:
30 x 1,25 = 37,5 mm 2. Align the adapter lengthwise and crosswise on the stern and
clamp it using a mounting bracket.
If there remains a gap between adapter and boat hull it is
recommended to fill it out with suitable sealant (e.g. Sikaflex). 3. Measure the distance to the stern at the front edge of the
adapter. Next, using a suitable marking tool (e.g. a compass or

suitable tool (e.g. an angle grinder or a jigsaw).

5. The foam must also be cut flush with the GRP edge using a
suitable tool (e.g. finger polisher or router).

6. Hold the adapter in place against the hull again and examine
the fit. Care must be taken that the GRP adapter lies flat
against the area of the main stud at the stern. Repeat steps
2 – 5 if necessary.

7. If you have accidentally removed too much foam, it can be

replaced by firm filling paste (epoxy or fibre glass bridging
filler).

8. Remove the anti-fouling under the adapter and coarsely whet

and degrease the hull.

9. Place the adapter on the device, put the seals in place and
mount the adaptor together with the device. Waterproof
adhesives such as polyurethane sealants should be used in
order to achieve adhesion between the hull and the adapter.

Remove any adhesive that has leaked, slightly whet the
adapter and coat it with epoxy primer and anti-fouling (like on
the hull).

6. MOUNTING EX SERIES COMPACT

Installation of the EX series Compact is almost identical to that

of the EX series Single. It differs in that the EX series Compact is
mounted vertically on the transom of the motorboat.

The EX series Compact is mounted using the boardlocks 250 at

the back end (two small holes) next to the main threaded bolt
(identical to the EX series Single assembly – the intermediate la-
yer is absolutely necessary).

In addition, the assembly differs in that the black plastic spacer

must be used for assembly (see the EX series Compact figure).
The side with the thinner opening is inserted into the small ho-
les in the EX series Compact. The boardlocks are then passed
through them (see the EX series Compact figure).

50 – 51 mm. The hole center distance has to exactly comply
with the dimension sheet (see Dimensions on page 33). Check the
distance between the boreholes before drilling!

For the choice of the mounting position, it is to be likewise made

certain that the required holes are not drilled at an unsuitable
position (e.g. bulkhead). The metal sheets to be used (except on
Fig. 32: EX series Dual mounting surface
steel and aluminium boats) have a width of 80 mm. So that they
can be placed without problems, the boreholes must be at least
60 mm from the next bulkhead.

For the reasons mentioned above, the positioning should be

measured exactly in any case before the execution of the drilling,
also inside the boat.

8. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

8.1. General Instructions

ƒ The electrical installation is principally to be accomplished by

a specialist.
ƒ All contacts, plugs and connections must be installed in a way
that they always remain dry.
ƒ The i-BOX must be placed in such a way that it always remains
dry.
ƒ All screws must be pulled tight before start-up.

The general instrucions refer to EX series Single and also to EX

series Dual.

8.4. Choice of battery

The overall capacity of the battery must be coordinated with

the power setting of the respective EX series model (see 8.2.
EX series Performance Specifications and 8.3. Fuse protection
and wire cross section). It is recommended to use one or more
separate starter batteries (no consumer batteries!) for each EX
series and to place these as close as possible to the bow or stern
thruster to minimise cable length or cable thickness and power
losses.

Always use batteries with matching type and capacity!

With the employment of an EX series model with 24 V with a board

voltage of 12 V, it is recommended to connect two 12 V-batteries
in series, in order to achieve the necessary voltage for the bow or
stern thruster. A 12 V / 24 V battery charger and voltage converter
is available on request.

8.5. Wiring

The cable length of EX series is 0,75 m. The i-Box should therefore

be placed as close as possible to the bow or stern thruster.

The minimum cable diameter is to be coordinated with the power

setting of the EX series model used (see 8.3. Fuse protection
and wire cross section), in order to keep the power loss between
battery and bow or stern thruster as low as possible.

In order to protect EX series from overloading and to protect the

electrical system from short-circuit both a main switch and a
protection fuse must be integrated into the positive wiring loom
(see 8.3. Fuse protection and wire cross section).

The EX series main switch should be installed in an easily

accessible place, thus the power for the bow or stern thruster
can be switched off in emergencies, without influencing the
other electrics on board. With non-operation, the EX series main
switch should generally be switched off.

22
 Side-Power EX Series Installation and Operation Manual 4.8

8.6. Installation of the i-BOX

The i-BOX is the central control element, to which several control

panels can be attached. It should be mounted with the cable
connections facing down..

The i-BOX offers the possibility of attaching several control

elements (e.g. joystick and touch panel) to the same EX series.

You can install as many panels as you wish by using optional

Y-connectors. If two or more panels are operated at the same
time in opposite directions, the electronic control box will stop
the thruster until it only receives a signal to go in one direction.
