Hello, I have a 2008 Mariner second owner. Prior owner had damaged the bow thruster engine with water. It has now stopped working and pulled the bow thruster motor from the boat. Volvo Penta Factory Bow thruster and it seems there is not being produced any longer? Question. Where to find a replacement Bow Thruster Motor or repair to rebuild.
Thanks
Mike

Maybe try some local automotive electric motor repair shops........ like starters/alternators etc....
Be sure to point out it is marine.

Post the info where you had it done so others in your area know where they can do the same.
