3.1 - Precautions
Quick®Thrusters have been designed and constructed only for nautical use.
• Do not use these products for any other type of operation.
• Quick®shall not be held liable for direct or indirect damage caused by improper use of the product.
• The product is not designed to support loads generated in particular atmospheric conditions (storms).
• Operate the product from a position where it is possible to supervise the work area.
• Always deactivate the product when not being used.
• For improved safety, we recommend installing at least two controls to operate the product in case one is damaged.
• The installer shall bear full responsibility for any problems caused by defective installation of the tunnel.
• This equipment is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
• Do not install the electric motor near easily inammable objects.
The terminals must be properly tightened.
Secure / hold the inner nut when tightening
MINIMUM TIGHTENING TORQUE IS 11 Nm
3.2- Precautions for the installer
CARRY OUT THE INSTALLATION IN GOOD LIGHTING CONDITIONS.
It is advisable to wear suitable clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE).
The product is not suitable for installation in potentially explosive environments and/or atmospheres.
Installation and subsequent inspection or repair work must only be carried out by qualied personnel.
CARRY OUT INSTALLATION/MAINTENANCE WORK MAKING SURE THAT THE PRODUCT IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
Quick®accepts no responsibility for inadequate connection of users to the electrical system and inadequate safety of
the electrical system.
3.3 - Installation requirements
We recommend you entrust preparation and positioning of the tunnel in the hull to a skilled professional.
These are generic instructions and do not give details of the preparatory operations for installing the thruster, since this is the
competence of the boatyard. The installer shall bear full responsibility for any problems caused by defective installation.
Although all the components and mechanical moving parts are of high quality, the correct installation of the driving unit is an
essential basis for the safe and effective use of the boat as well as the driving unit itself.
The installation of such a unit is an operation that requires experience as well as technical skills. It is recommended that the
installation be carried out by competent personnel and that the manufacturer or naval architects be consulted to fully assess
the scope of the work.

4.0 - Propellers
The position of the tunnel will depend on the interior
and exterior shape of the boat’s bow.
• FIG. 1 In order to avoid cavitation in the propeller, the
tunnel should be placed as deep as possible. The optimum
tunnel position will be at least 0.75 times the diameter of
the tunnel from the waterline.

FIG. 2
• FIG. 2 The lever effect in the boat is proportional to
the increase of the distance (L1 and L2) between the
barycentre and the position of the tunnel A and B.
• FIG. 3 For greater lever effect prefer position B.
SINGLE PROPELLER DOUBLE PROPELLER TUNNEL LENGTH
MINIMUM 1.5 TIMES
TUNNEL Ø
MAXIMUM 6 TIMES
TUNNEL Ø
An increase in the length of the tunnel increases the effect of the loss of charge, decreasing the nominal driving
force.
• For a proper use of the thruster, we recommend a length equal to 1.5 to 4 times the tunnel diameter. To limit losing charge, a
ratio of up to 6 times the diameter can be tolerated.
Minimum 0.75

4.1 - Tunnel
• The rounded ends of the tunnel limit the creation of turbulence and cavitation, improving performance of the propeller thrust
and reducing noise levels to a minimum.
SINGLE PROPELLER
DOUBLE PROPELLER
• The force produced by the ow of the water when the boat is moving produces resistance on the rear face of the tunnel,
which is an area exposed frontally to the water ow. To limit this phenomenon, prepare an indentation in the rear part of the
tunnel. The indentation will depend on the shape of the hull. Otherwise, create a deector on the front part of the tunnel.
• If the tunnel is near the waterline, it is advisable to t a grating at the end of the tube. The
grating must have as large a vertical mesh as possible to avoid contrasting the propeller thrust.
The vertical mesh prevents the entry of most of the oating objects.
