- We see if we can investigate the weird juddery noises coming from deep within the bow without sinking the boat! Our bow thruster has been making some very strange noises and the thrust seems to have gone! This week we set to task with our check list, we need a pump out and water, de-mould our pram cover, as well as a new part for our shower and see if we can investigate the noises coming from below! #bowthruster #pumpout #de-mould

Let us know if they did the thruster under the warranty. Thanks for the tips
We will do 👍
Can’t something like a 150mm expanding pipe stopper be used to seal either end of the thruster tube in order to take the propeller out?
This would save dry docking or lifting to boat out of the water. You should also be able to get a blanking plate once the propeller system is removed so that you can inspect the pinion and shaft gearing, which I’m beginning to wonder if it has been running dry or simply out of alignment.
We don’t think it’s the alignment and after investigation we think it has to be fitted through the tube rather than coming out through the top of the tube in the bow, so not sure that would work 🤔 it’s still under warranty too so we don’t want to play about with it to much but it’s a good shout 😁
How have you got on with the bow thruster ? Hope you have been able to get it sorted.
We are waiting now for Collingwood to arrange repair, it will be a bit of a logistical challenge so might take quite a while! Probably won’t happen this side of Christmas 😬
