Since we have had no luck finding our lost thruster, we are moving ahead with "Plan B", machining a new thruster arm to hold our spare thruster. We will continue the search for the original, but at least now we can plan to be back in the water and testing by a specific date.
Since this is fairly simple fabrication, it is far faster and cheaper for us to do the machining ourselves at a local shop.
