My Sidepower bow thruster

Hey! That's CHEATING!.....(c;

Sounds like you need a new, read that expensive, "module". Instead of a
relay, it probably has electronic controls (in the modules). You blew a
transistor. All it does is reverse the direction of the DC fed to the
motor.

Does this thruster also have variable speed? That would explain the
module, instead of just an on-off relay system.

Also, Let's pull the plug off the "module" and see if you have switch
contacts closing between pins in the non-functional direction. Turn off
the breaker to it and use your ohmmeter to try to find when the switch
contacts close in the non-functional direction. If you find a closure, the
module is hosed....sorry.

Besides, thrusters are CHEATING!....(c;
