INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
– BOW THRUSTER
Bow thrusters can be installed with the boat in water or on land, although land-
based installation is easier.
In order to obtain the strongest possible epoxy bond(when not using through-bolt
hardware), installation should be performed when the hull is dry, clean and the
epoxy and hull surface temperature is between 70°F/21°C and 75°F/24°C .
View installation procedures on-line at Installation - Sideshift Bow Thrusters and
Stern Thrusters.
Bow Thruster Placement
The bow thruster is located on the center line, with the top of the propeller at least 5
inches (12 cm) below the shallowest waterline. The cables pass through the hull
above the waterline.
