Last week at Maritime I was put on a job to help finish up an interesting project. The customer wanted a stern thruster installed on his catamaran so he came up with a design that articulates down into the water when he wants to use it then can be retracted while under way via hydraulic rams. Below is a picture of it retracted (I didn't get a picture of it lowered). My coworker and I had to make some calls and figure out the valve body orientation (via assembly numbers), along with other details, due to a lack of info provided with the components. In the end we got it working correctly. In the BTC shop I have been continuing to learn about engine assembly and disassembly. In particular, I have been learning to use some measuring devices I haven't used in the past such as a bore gauge. Next week I will post pictures of the engine disassembles and the corresponding measurement info.
