Please read over the owners manuals and familiarize yourself with the product. There is a trouble-shooting section in each manual. This guide is meant to be a supplement to these providing illustrated instructions for more detailed trouble-shooting.
Note: This guide is intended for Thrusters utilizing SIDE-POWER “Plug and Play” wiring only, and not intended for thrusters utilizing SIDE-POWER’s Auto-Main Switch or SIDE-POWER’s voltage conversion box.
Recommended Tools for Trouble-shooting:

If control panel does turn on but thruster does not run, or thruster runs in one direction only.
NOTE: The preceding tests are to be performed while the boat is in the water. Please contact your local Side-Power distributor for service support if you have any questions.
