Number 3 Fin (Stanley) has been commissioned. The basic thruster mechanics were installed prior to launch with the remaining components along with dual batteries and a battery switch being installed after launch. The thruster is functioning quite well and, so far, we are receiving favorable feedback. One thing that was realized is that in a North or Northwest wind blowing at +25 knots the thruster’s 70lbs. of thrust still cannot outdo Mother Nature at the mainland dock. Number one Fin (work boat) prop shaft packing has been replaced along with a moisture laden fuel filter/water separator not to mention a transmission oil change. Number one will be launched to commence its work duties after a bottom/cockpit paint and decking replacement in the area of the handicap carrier Number two Fin (Mackie) will be commissioned after a bottom paint. Motor box deteriorating wood will be replaced with Starboard as an ongoing project after launch.
