T&T: Bow Thruster

[Ownyacht at aol.com]

My recent post on this subject may not have been correct. I thought that my  
Side Power 7 hp thruster threw the breaker and stopped working. Upon thinking  
about it further I am thinking that it just quit without blowing the breaker. 
 After it cooled it started working again on its own.
 
A friend has suggested that the motor may need new brushes. I also noticed  
some black residue inside the hull next to the drive motor. I assumed it  was 
spilled oil from the remote reservoir but it may have been dust  mixed with 
hull condensation.
 
Thanks again
