Bow Thrusters can be fitted to most vessels and provide extra manoeuvrability in tight situations or when the wind an tide are affecting the bow of the boat.     We have been fitting bowthrusters for many years and can advise on the best models to chosse.

Holes are cut in the bow of the vessel.

A grp tube is inserted and fibre glassed in place.

The tube is faired externally with epoxy

The external areas are then carefully faired, sanded, primed and painted before anti-fouling.

 

Laminates are also applied to the internal hull to strengthen areas around the tube.

The bowthruster and associated electrics are fitted internally and the drive inserted in the tube and propeller fitted
