sea ray 390 sundancer

i have two issues on my 2005. one is that the port side engine is showing high water pressure (over 40 psi while opened up). the gauge says "ok". i replaced that side sensor about a year ago when it was showing low water pressure. do i need to replace it? secondly, the bow thruster is not as powerful as it used to be. the manual says to check the thuster oil periodically under the master stateroom mattress. i dont see any place to put oil. where is it? thanks for the help.

To access the thruster look in the floor between the shower and bathroom. I'll bet the decrease in power is the battery. It is a 24 volt system. The batteries are back in the bilge. Had same issue and put in two new optima batteries and could not belive the power.

thank you. i found the thruster motor. after your note i checked the cranking power on my batteries and they are 675 each as opposed to the 800 they are supposed to be. no wonder the motor isnt as powerful as it used to be. i still cant find the oil reservoir for the thruster motor that the manual talks about. Any help there?
