What we do:

Mobile Installations — East Coast Bow Thrusters' expert crew will travel to install bow and stern thrusters at your marina or boat yard. We have expanded our service area and dealer network to now include as far north as the Canadian border of Maine, down to Cape Hatteras in North Carolina and as far west as Detroit (though we have been known to travel further). We also maintain a large facility on the Hudson River at Rondout Yacht basin (near Kingston NY).

Joe Molinaro, owner of East Coast Bow Thrusters, has been building, repairing and doing installations on boats since 1970, and working with bow and stern thrusters since 1990. His expertise, and commitment to quality and customer satisfaction have made him well known and highly respected throughout the Northeast. Our prompt, personal service insures that your installation will be done in a timely fashion, usually within two days. Joe himself personally installs each and every bow thruster and stern thruster with his well-trained crew, which insures that his high standards of quality and workmanship are maintained. The end result is a sound, optimally functional, maintenance-free and aesthetically pleasing installation.

We at East Coast Bow Thrusters specialize in thruster installation. We buy in quantity and have developed a system of procedures and specialized equipment which allow us to work at top efficiency.
