The Blough's bow thruster is powered electricily. She was built with the bow thruster and that's why they didn't have to add a diesel like they have done on other boats who's bow thrusters were added after they were built.

She has a thruster. I also see it has no markings on her side to show where the thruster is located.

Roger Blough Bow Thruster

Does anyone know where the Roger Blough exhausts its bow thruster? After looking at numerous detail bow pictures I cannot seem to locate some sort of stack or pipe for this purpose. I'm fairly certian she had the bow thruster when built and am curious if something out-of-the-norm was done with the exhaust vent. Thanks in advance for any insight. ~John
