Bow Thruster

The 50’ Master Marine Bow Thruster has a John Deere 6081 rated at 375 hp.  The steering vessel is used for holding the front of our empty tows straight into high cross winds.  This allows FMT to operate in weather that normally keeps tows from being able to move, such as the transit to Brownsville, Texas
