Adding a bow thruster on a wooden boat!
The 1972 Grand Banks Alaskan 49 CONSCIOUS (ex-SALACIA) has gotten a new bow thruster! If you have been following our shop’s progress for a while, you may recognize this great Pacific Northwest cruiser from 2006 when our mechanical department did a great job on a thorough overhaul and update
