Re: Installing Stern Thruster

We launched our boat last week. Left it in the slings while I rushed below to look for any leaks around the 8" hole that the thruster was installed into. No leaks. Have only used it a couple of times, but seems to work great. Looking forward to using it more, but first I have to finish fabricating a new enclosure for the sundeck. I have finished the new flybridge enclosure. Then I have to install a new AC and DC power panel. This winter we painted the flybridge and cabin sides with Quantum paint, painted the decks and sundeck hardtop with Kiwigrip, installed a hardtop on the flybridge with new enclosure, installed the stern thruster, did a lot of rewiring, rebuilt the swim platform, installed a new house battery bank and a lot of misc small projects. Glad it is in the water and we can relax a little bit. Next winter we will be painting the hull with Quantum paint. Incredibly easy to work with, you just roll it on. No tipping required and it flows out very well.
