Bow Thruster Oil Leak
« on: May 12 2019, 15:24 »
I have a Side-Power SP 55 Si Bow Thruster.
Looked in the tunnel today after haul out and noticed a couple of oil drips under the leg.
It was quite thin so seawater water has got in the leg.
I Haven't worked out yet if it is the oil drain or shaft that is leaking. I've cleaned the area and now monitoring.
Has anyone familiar with this thruster, and have a parts manual that shows the internal oil seals?
I only have the basic parts diagram (attached).
The old versions have a reservoir, this version is apparently sealed for life, which is a bit concerning if parts are even available or even if I can top it up, have not had a look yet!

Thanks in advance.
