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.

Looks like it is a potted module.

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

No.

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.

I suspect it is hosed in any case.

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

Nah! They are nice to have.
