Hello to everyone. Well the boat is out for the winter. This winters projects are engine rebuild, new fuel tank, transom repair, larger swim grid, and......a bow thruster.
This is my question after searching around. I would like to put the thruster in the forward bow storage area. I'm not using it anyways. The rear forward area has my house batteries, and some other stuff. I would like not to move them! Does anyone have and first hand experience in this location? Its a lewmar with a 5 1/2 hole size. In my thinking I'm right on the cusp of being too close to the surface and too close to the bottom. But it's nice and far forward. I'm aware of the possibility of cavitation from the top but also too close to the bottom isn't good.
Anyways, thoughts???
I want to drill and cut soon!!
