We have been anchored for a week in an area with lots of sea cucumbers floating by. Tried to engage my bow thruster yesterday and initially nothing happened. Stern thruster worked fine. Later in the day, I tried again and the thruster engaged but it sounds labored/different and moved much less water than usual.
There are no error codes. The unit is an electric Westmar unit. I started thinking of the possibility that the thruster tunnel got clogged or choked with sea vegetation and debris which there are plenty around. Is that even a possibility?
My next step is calling a diver to take a look..
Any comments or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thank you
