Before reading on, please take a moment to fill out this week’s survey so we can share your knowledge and experiences with the Cruising Compass family. Thanks.
Does your regular boat yard allow you to do routine maintenance and repairs on your boat?
Many thanks to everyone who replied to last week’s survey on bow thrusters. Of those who answered, 38% have a bow thruster on their boats. These owners rate their thrusters at 4.4 stars out of 5. Quite a few did not know the brand of their thrusters but of those who did, the most popular in order are Vetus, SidePower, Sliepner and Lewmar. Of those who do not now have a thruster, 22% say they are considering adding one.
