Bow Thruster install on 330 Express -Photo's

[Moxsea]

Just had a Vetus 55 12V bowthruster installed on my 330 Express. I just got tired of worrying about damaging the vessel during strong current and wind (done that). Now, I can't wait to splash and planning on using the boat more. East Coast Bowthruster performed the mobile install in one day and it turned out great. Happy boating.

Good luck, Ron

Have often wondered about that, what do you do to keep growth out of the tunnel and off the thruster?

Thanks for sharing. I love mine and would never own another boat without one. Good luck with it!
