Tollycraft 48 (2) Yard installation of bow thruster and stabilizer system

In video 2 here we lift and inspect the vessel and get started with the thruster install. Also prepare the aft end of the ER for the fins and hydraulic components for the system. Introducing Ron Tomas, our fibreglass expert and cool guy!
