It was posted by garyL Using Dumas Form No.62-272 for radio installation of the mister darby, using one speed control and Dumas Hardware kit. On "block wiring diagram of installation" where would you wire in a bow thruster, and how? I've called Dumas and they are unable to help me. How to wire a bow thruster is not something I would think Dumas would "walk" you through on the phone. There are a few roads you can take in order to wire a bow thruster. I would recommend that used a good quality ESC and NOT a Resistor Type Speed Control like the Dumas type. In order to provide you with good control, you need to use an ESC with reverse. An ESC that will work is the Traxxas XL1 Electronic Speed Control with Reverse. Hooking up the motor to your bow thruster is as easy as hooking up your ESC to your thruster following the paperwork that came with your bow thruster. You will use a channel on your to control your bow thruster. You can find an inexpensive ESC at www.towerhobbies.com -------------------- Roger Model Marina Web Master and Discussion Board Administrator "Over the years I have spent nearly all of my money on my Harley-Davidson, my model boats and women.
