I had an interesting problem today that had a happy ending.

When I put my boat in the water, my stern thruster was working, bow thruster was not.

I cleaned the battery terminals since that caused a problem last year with my stern thruster but that was not the answer. I called Imtra for troubleshooting assistance. He suggested that I jump the gray and blue wires at the thruster to ground one at a time. The thruster worked. Then he had me disconnect the switch and jump the wires up there. Didn't work. That indicated that the electronic module that prevents you from switching direction without waiting could be bad since jumping at the thruster bypasses this. I ordered a new one for $130. Then I decided to disconnect the old one and take a look at it. I decided to clean all the terminals and plug it back in. Everything worked after that so I canceled the order for the replacement part.
