My cx 25

You work fast! Molto bella!

I would have thought to put the bow thruster, what do you think.

A 25' boat is marginal for a bow thruster. It depends on the currents and tides in your area. If they are strong in your area and I know from experience that there can be some high ones around Italy then a bow thruster makes some sense. If not there is no need for one on a boat this small. it also depends on how much room you have to moor or dock. The smaller the space the more you will need one.

So summing it up, it is really up to you as you know what your conditions are and how well you can handle your new boat.

thanks for the advice, and for the compliments.
I install bow thrusters, especially for small spaces that we have it our poorly equipped ports of southern Italy.

[dalnilo]

the angles you have to do it with the edge, or rounded?

[jacquesmm]

You laminate the fiberglass with a round edge, just as you did and build a sharp edge with the fairing compound.

You can put a bow thruster but imo you don't need one, over here we have very strong trade winds and currents, mine is 3' longer and I dock this boat accurate within the "millimeter" using one outboard and no bow thruster, If I can do it anyone can do it

[dalnilo]

sorry I 'came a doubt. looking carefully at photos of other CS25 seems that this part in red was more 'long, you have a reference measurement? thank you

[jacquesmm]

I can't give you a dimension, I don't know where to start to measure but, use the bow mold to check the length and shape.
It looks fine to me and if all your dimensions are OK, it should be correct.
