    Yep, but a similar Hat costs so much more. $20+$20+$20......hmmm.

    I guess Marquis feels that you don't need a breaker or fuse on a bow or stern thruster......I guess they forgot that they're installing electric ones and not hydraulic thrusters......

    Interesting although I believe that on the 59 across the dock, there are breakers for the grinders in the main panel in the ER, along with the windlass.

    Unless maybe the grinders were installed after delivery by a 3rd party as is often then case on boat that size

    I Googled Hatteras yachts catching fire and quickly found 2. Better rethink the wiring on those boats. Just trying to sync the logic here as we don't know yet cause of Miami fire.

    Hatteras has built thousands of boats over 5 decades, I wouldn't be surprised to find 2 that caught fire, and it's considered a very low number........They've only been building Marquis for around 5 years now, and not all that many and I personally know of many that have caught fire.....like around 5 different ones.
