Claim 10:
11. A thruster power control box system, comprising:
a thruster power control box comprising a housing and having:
a switch circuit disposed in the housing having a first input, a second input, a first output, and a second output;
a switch control circuit operably coupled to the switch circuit that selectively controls configuration of connections between the first input one of either of the first or second outputs, and between the second input and the other of the first or second outputs of the switch circuit;
a first battery conductor having a battery connecting portion that extends outside of the housing through a first conductor bushing that contains a compliant plug through which the first battery conductor passes and which seals the first conductor bushing, wherein the first battery conductor is connected to the first input of the switch circuit;
a second battery conductor having a battery connecting portion that extends outside of the housing through a second conductor bushing that contains a compliant plug through which the second battery conductor passes and which seals the second conductor bushing, wherein the second battery conductor is connected to the second input of the switch circuit;
a thruster cable bushing having a compliant plug through which a first thruster cable and a second thruster cable pass, the first thruster cable connected to the first output of the switch circuit, the second thruster cable connected to the second output of the switch circuit;
a thruster actuator bushing having a compliant plug through which a thruster actuator cable passes, the thruster actuator cable connected to the switch control circuit;

a terminal box having:
a housing and a cover, a central wall inside the terminal box that runs from a front to a back of the terminal box, and from a floor of the housing to the cover; and
a first terminal disposed on a first side of the central wall and a second terminal disposed on a second side of the central wall, the first thruster cable coupled to the first terminal, the second thruster cable coupled to the second terminal.
