Technical Parameters:

High-Temperature Resistant Nylon Housing:
The XT60 connector housing is made from Japanese imported high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant nylon. It remains stable under high currents and temperatures without melting or igniting. It self-extinguishes when removed from the flame source.
Gold-Plated Copper Terminals:
Terminals are precision-manufactured from high-quality copper and gold-plated for excellent conductivity. The connector can handle 60A current for one minute, with the shell temperature staying below 36°C. The shell does not melt even when the temperature reaches 80°C.
Easy Plug-and-Unplug Design:
Features an anti-slip design for effortless plug-and-unplug actions. The asymmetrical appearance is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Ease of Soldering:
The rear soldering ports are arranged 180° back-to-back for convenience, making it suitable for soldering with 12AWG flexible silicone wires.
Sealing Performance:
Manufactured using high-speed automatic lathes and secondary processing equipment from Taiwan. This ensures tight connections with no gaps, offering excellent sealing and conductivity.
Anti-Reverse Polarity Design:
Equipped with guiding slots and clear markings for positive (+) and negative (-) polarity to prevent incorrect connections.

Why need Ycable?

a Y cable can be used to control two thrusters simultaneously. By splitting the signal from one receiver channel, the Y cable allows you to connect and control both thrusters at the same time using the same input. This setup ensures that both thrusters respond to the same commands, such as throttle or direction, making it ideal for applications where synchronized operation is needed.

1. For Your Safety:

Keep Clear: Never put hands, feet, or anything near the propeller when it's plugged in. It can spin without warning and cause injury.
No Water, No Power: Do not run the thruster in air for more than 10 seconds. It needs water to cool itself or it will break.

2. For The Thruster's Safety:

Check Seals: Always check that the rubber O-rings are clean, greased, and undamaged before putting it in water.
Avoid Debris: Keep it away from weeds, sand, and plastic bags. These can jam and break the propeller.
No Regular Glue: Do not use normal threadlocker (screw glue) on any screws. It will crack the plastic body. Only use a kind that is safe for polycarbonate.

3. Simple Rules:

Test First: Always test in a bucket or pool before going to open water.
Rinse After Use: Always rinse with fresh water after use, especially in saltwater.
Store Safely: Keep it in a case to protect it from bumps and dust.

1. Two Propeller Types:

You get two propellers: one labeled "CW" (spins clockwise) and one labeled "CCW" (spins counterclockwise).

2. How Thrust Works:

Forward Thrust (Recommended):A CW propeller pushes best when spinning clockwise.A CCW propeller pushes best when spinning counterclockwise.✅ Use this for maximum power and efficiency.
Reverse Thrust:Both can also spin the opposite way to push backwards.⚠️ This works but is weaker and less efficient.

Quick Tip: Always check the label (CW/CCW) to make sure you have the right propeller installed for the direction you want to go. For the strongest push, use forward thrust.

The Thruster: The main unit, which contains a brushless DC motor.

Power Source: A battery pack or power supply.
A Controller: Something to tell it how fast and which way to spin (e.g., a remote control).

How to Connect It:

If your thruster has a built-in ESC:
You can often connect it directly to a standard PWM receiver.
Important Note on Power:
If your receiver or ESC does not have a BEC (Built-in Eliminator Circuit) to power itself, you will need to add a separate BEC module. This provides the necessary power for the electronics.

It's normal for our thrusters to be loud.They use plastic bushings, so small movements between parts can cause sound. This noise is greatly reduced underwater, as water lubricates and cools the system.Never run them dry for more than a few seconds—it can permanently damage the bearings. Every thruster is tested to work properly.
