Modifying the Vessel to create a dry Compartment
EN
Support for the thruster:
Placing the thruster on it sides creates a strain on the gear leg and motor bracket in supporting the weight of the motor. The weight stain can potentially
cause damage to the installed product, especially in heavy seas. Create a support frame for the motor to rest upon reducing the weight strain on the
thruster and tunnel connection point.
Description of illustrations:
