I have seen where they relieved the back side of the thrust tube a bit to allow for heavy reentry. Doesn't look like it here though... is it neccesary?

While running at speed the thruster will be out of the water and should not change any performance characteristics of the bottom. The front of each thruster tube will have a flare built into it, this will redirect the water when it hits the bow and stop water from eating the back of the tube.

Please call Alan today for a quote to this, similar or other service projects.

Some progress and steps towards completion. Once again the final piece will have a flare at the front of the thruster tube to prevent water from hitting the rear of the thruster tube. This will result in a smoother / quiter ride.

Do you offer different pitch impellers for faster docking performance?
