Repairs, Soaking Wet or High and Dry?
Once you have determined that repairs are needed you then must ask, what is the best route to take? Should your boat be hauled out or should repairs be made in the water? This decision is dependent on the type of repair. Like inspections, certain tasks may be performed by a diver underwater while others require dry repair. Blades and seals can be worked on or replaced underwater. Full removal of the thruster can be done wet, but reinstalling it would need to be done in a dry environment.
A bow thruster is a great tool. As with insurance, you may not always need it, but when the time comes, you will be thrilled to have it. Your bow thruster is only useful if it’s working properly. Pensacola Shipyard provides the perfect location and space for you to make repairs and inspect your thruster. Additionally, we have skilled on-site contractors who can keep yours running smoothly.
A properly maintained bow thruster will help you have a safe, enjoyable day of boating. Take away the stress of docking and anchoring in tight spaces and poor conditions by contacting Pensacola Shipyard at 850.439.1451 today.
