Thruster Mounting Configurations Remote Control System Well mounted from BOTTOM Well mounted bottom removal When top mounting isn’t possible due to design restrictions in the vessel’s construction that make access via a deck hatch above the thruster impossible, the thruster can be installed from below with a bottom mounting flange arrangement. The main advantage of this design is that the thruster can still be withdrawn from the ship if required. Dry-docking of the vessel is usually required, unless its possible to trim the vessel sufficiently forward to allow the thruster to be removed from...
