Adding a bow thruster

With our new permanent berth being really awkward to get in and out from, and with both Tim and I having had problems berthing we decided that a bow thruster was needed, so we lifted King Malu and so we went down to see Costas at Damianou Marine and bought a Quick 4kw bow thruster.

We got him to arrange for professional fitting of the thruster tunnel and we ran the ancillary circuits and then he commissioned it. We added two extra 100 amp hour batteries to power the beast.

By the time it was finished it all looked very neat and because we did this in the summer when the boat yards are quieter we lifted the boat, got the work done, did all we wanted and returned King Malu to the water 7 days later!
