Another observation; Thruster running, wheel turned both directions. One thing I learned long ago. Some APs can not do inlets on a following...
Ah, I got it. He wanted a new 4 engine fancy boat. Wife wanted a big cabin with galley/head. Enclosed center consoles don't come with a full head...
Something is wrong here. Was he idling thru there? Was it shallow and the bow was getting sucked down? Stabilizers set to free? or just off? The...
