The Wesmar thruster is powered by a 10hp Chicago electric motor and features two counter-rotating props: Each with its own zinc (size "B"). The thruster was completely rebuilt, by Wesmar in Bothell WA, in June 2011.

Additional pictures of the thruster installation can be seen in on the "Bow" page.
