The employment of qualified marine personnel, with experience in bow thruster installation, is strongly advised. Where possible, the boat manufacturer’s architects, design departments and/or shipyards should be consulted, prior to installation taking place.

    INSTALLATION MANUAL CT550 Fit the tunnel and mark the areas to be fibre-glassed. Sand these areas inside and out. In certain installations it is preferable to drill the position of the thruster support before the installation of the tunnel. Refit the tunnel. Apply reinforced fibreglass filler to all areas, taking care that you fill the gap between hull and tunnel.
