My 545 is out of the water I have lowered the bow thruster (RMC 18560 24v)
And it won't retract ? The shear pin is fine I have taken off the worm activator mech and tested
working fine ! Any ideas?

There is a up/down sensor. I had similar problems last year and expected bad new. Just required new sensor.

Hi Steven

I wasn't there when it was repaired. I expected an expensive repair and was pleasantly surprised.
