Bow Thruster Leaking Oil

Postby PhotoHog » April 30th, 2024, 7:03 pm

I have a 2003 444 - CMPY and unfortunately I'm selling it. We had a survey on Sunday and the surveyor reported seeing oil leaking from the motor. The boat is still locked up in our marina and I don't have easy access to it.

Does anyone know what the typical brand of thruster was used on this year and model? And if you've had any experience rebuilding or replacing the motor?

I offered the buyers the option of installing a brand new Side Shift bow thruster but they want a tunnel thruster.

My marina is not the best at communicating and it does not really have a great maintenance / repair crew.

I hope to get access to the boat in the next couple of days any advice would be appreciated.
