Bow Thruster Blades

[Bunny]

Love them or loath them, we have one, a bow thruster. We don't use it very often, but its's nice to know its there if we want to use it. While we are being blacked and waiting to go back in we thought we would have the blade replaced ( bit knackered after 7 years) and have grills fitted over the ends of the tube, to keep some of the debris out. Now the problem is that we can't find a blade. The ref; we have in our 'General Spec Data ' book says BCS 85Kg Bow Thruster. Have tried Aquafax and Midland and both have stopped stocking this blade ( don't know why ) and can't or won't tell us who makes. Its three bladed and plastic, can't remember what colour it is, I think blue but husband says yellow . Any ideas ?? on make would be appriciated . Yes we can drive without it, but would prefer to have a new one fitted. Thanks. Bunny

They probably didn't know what you were talking about. Try calling it a propeller next time you speak to them.

 

You could try ASAP supplies http://www.asap-supplies.com/

BCS are italian. You will probably find a Vetus prop will fit. Try Kings Lock at Middlewich

[Bunny]

Have them coming from Italy ( I hope). Bunny.

I love the noise they make too, that WHHIIRRSCREEEECHHWHIIRRRRRSCREECHWHIR.
