36 Mariner 2008 Bow Thruster Needs replaced or repaired

Postby MBoone » June 21st, 2023, 3:03 pm

Hello, I have a 2008 Mariner second owner. Prior owner had damaged the bow thruster engine with water. It has now stopped working and pulled the bow thruster motor from the boat. Volvo Penta Factory Bow thruster and it seems there is not being produced any longer? Question. Where to find a replacement Bow Thruster Motor or repair to rebuild.

Thanks
Mike

Maybe try some local automotive electric motor repair shops........ like starters/alternators etc....

Be sure to point out it is marine.
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
