The electric or hydraulic motor of the thruster operates in difficult conditions - humidity, salt water, vibrations. That is why it is important to regularly inspect it. Gaelix Marine Service has replacement brushes, seals, lubricants and service kits https://gaelixmarineservice.com/anchoring-docking-mooring/bow-thrusters-accessories/. It is recommended to check the condition of the brushes, cleaning of the contacts and tightness of the housing at least once a season. Ignoring maintenance can lead to engine overheating, corrosion or complete failure during a critical maneuver.
