    Hi Carol & George,
    I am confused as to why the bow thruster tube should be angled so much more on the port side. Is there a specific technical reason for this?

      HI Kevin, the only reason is that the starboard side ‘angle’ has not yet been fitted. The ‘angle’ can be seen inside the boat by the tube in one of the pictures above.

    I believe that the trailing edge of the tunnel is faired to reduce drag.

      Thanks Joe, Ian told us that it will also reduce cavitation at the end of the tube.
