Lewmar 140tt bow thruster
Once again, Utube is extremely helpful as a starting point to condition the brain in regards to any task at hand such as a bow thruster install. Filtering of misleading info is always required and I usually look for a consensus on how to accomplish a task. Fellow Bluejacket builder Egbert’s bow thruster pictures on Flickr are of immense help in planning my install.
The Lewmar thruster installation instructions state that the task should only be done by a marine engineer or highly trained professional. Well, when you build a boat from scratch you are undaunted by any real or imagined complexity in adding an accessory to that boat. A joystick, big amperage fuse holder and 140 mm (5 1/2” diameter) tube purchase is required beyond the pictured items in order to compete the job. First task is determining the length of tube required.
