George,

I have not done it in the water, but I uploaded a set of in-the-water instructions that I originally received from Charlie Cronheim S/V MALAIKA II. You will find in the Files section of this websitea a newly uploaded file titled "Bow Thruster in the water repair.pdf"

I believe it will all make sense if you also download and print "BOW THRUSTER SERVICE by Gary Silver.pdf" from the files section of this website, and view and/or download from the Photo section of this website two photo albums entitled "SM227" and "BOW THRUSTER SERVICE".

I hope this helps,

Bill
