This is an early shot of positioning the Side-Power bow thruster.  Up in the forward cabin which is also a sail locker, chain/rope locker and storage room for outboard motor and other bits-n-pieces.

 Hole cut in bow for the tunnel.  Once cleaned up, primed and antifowled it should be invisible below the waterline.

First view of the electric motor.  The motor is to the left of the opening and low.  By my toes of left foot is the cover over the belt that connects the output pulley of the motor to the 4:1 reduction drive.  From that drive you can see a gold coloured half coupling, the red flexible coupling (polyflex), the second half coupling before the prop shaft dissapears in to the stuffing box.
