READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT YOUR QUICK®DEALER.
This manual features Warning and/or Caution symbols that are important for safety.
Please follow the instructions provided.
Warning symbol for dangerous
situations.
Caution symbol to prevent direct or
indirect damage to the product.
This document provides boat manufacturers and nautical equipment installers with instructions on how to assemble the Quick®
product and operate it correctly.
3.1 - Safety
Quick® Thrusters have been designed and constructed only for nautical use.
• Do not use these appliances for other uses.
• Quick® shall accept no responsibility for direct or indirect damage caused by improper use of the appliance or an
• improper installation.
• The product is not designed to maintain loads generated in particular atmospheric conditions (storms).
• We recommend you entrust preparation and positioning of the tube on the hull to a skilled professional.
• Always deactivate the product when not being used.
• These are generic instructions and do not give details of the preparatory operations for installing the tunnel, since
this is the competence of the boatyard.
• 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.

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.

A
BARYCENTRE
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.
FIG.3
An increase in the length of the tunnel increases the
effect of the loss of charge, decreasing the nominal
driving force.
• FIG.4 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.

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.
• 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.

4.2 - Thruster
• We recommend installing the thruster with a support. The motor is supplied with support feet, which are already tted.
D
• FIG. 1 The AC motor must be installed on a support adequately sized to support the specied weight and power (see table on
• page 4).
• FIG. 2 The distance (D) between the centreline of the tunnel and the motor support must allow for correct alignment of motor
• axle to gearbox axle.
• FIG. 3 The angle between the two shafts (gearbox and motor) shall not exceed +/- 1.5°.
• FIG. 4 To position the thruster in the tube, nd the half-way point.
• FIG. 5 Use the ange to mark the centre of the holes on the tube.
FIG.4 FIG.5
10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
• FIG. 6 Fix the drilling template on the reference points, making sure they are
aligned with precision at the half-way point of the tube.
N.B. All holes must be exactly aligned with the half-way point of the
tunnel, since tolerance between propeller and tunnel is minimal.
Take care that there are no resin residues in the contact area between ange and
tube; this could cause misalignment. Any resin residues and any other hindrance
to correct contact must be removed with sandpaper.

6 - Cautions & Use
6.0 - Thruster use
L’accensione avviene in conseguenza all’attivazione di un pannello di comando Quick®.
Per l’uso dell’elica di manovra e l’installazione del pannello di comando fare riferimento al manuale del comando dedicato.
6.1 - Important cautions
• This thruster is not designed for continuous use. It is equipped with protections which limit its operation at a
maximum time span, as reported on the controls’ manual. It is strongly forbidden to bypass or modify such
protections in order to increase the operating time span, lest voiding the warranty and thus lifting any responsibility
from Quick®SPA.
• Make sure no swimmers or oating objects are in the vicinity before switching on the thruster.
• There must not be ammable materials in the peak or in the area where the Thruster motor is.
• Do not operate the bow thruster out of the water for more than 10 seconds.
• During mooring, it is recommended not to leave in the water any free line, which may be sucked in by the
propellers, thus leading them to break.
RH
NOTE: the thruster must be installed with
the RH propeller on the right-hand side of
the gearleg.

7 - Maintenance
Quick® thrusters are made in materials that are resistant to the sea environment: in any case, it is indispensable to periodically
remove salt deposits that form on the outer surfaces to avoid corrosions and consequent system inefciency.
DEPENDING ON USE, PERIODICALLY CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF THE OIL SEALS AND REPLACE THEM IF NECESSARY.
• Make sure that the power supply to the electric motor is not switched on when maintenance operations are
• carried out.
• Do not paint the anodes, the sealings and the gearleg’s shaft where the propellers are lodged.
Dismantle once a year, following the points below:
• Clean propellers, tunnel and gearleg.
• Replace the anodes (carry out this operation more often if needed).
• Replace the propellers if damaged or worn out.
• Check the tightness of all screws.
• Ensure that there is no water seepage inside.
• Check that all electrical connections are well tightened and oxide-less.
REMOVING THE GEARBOX FLANGE 386
• FIG. A Remove the various components (2 - 3- 4- 5) of the motor (1).
• FIG. B To help separating the gearbox ange (6) from the tunnel, use 4 screws M12x80.
