The enclosed bridge was fitted with a spiral staircase from the fully fitted rest area which
has stairs down to the cell area via a watertight door. Full working nav/mast lights,
searchlight, horn + two-tone siren, voice announcement system and working sequenced
red/blue flashing lights. Fitted to the flying bridge frame work is a sun shade with the
Royal Montserrat Police emblem printed on it.

The Power System is:- MFA 540 Motor to supplied shaft & prop supplied by a 6v 4.5Ah 
SLA Battery.  Speed control is from J. Perkins rated 50amp forward & 30amp reverse.
RX battery is a 4.8v 800mAh NiMH pack. Aux power for lights etc is a 6.0v 2100mAh NiMH
Pack and the sound/voice unit is powered from a 4.8v 700mAh NiMH pack. RX/TX Multiplex
Cockpit SX Synthesised system on 40MHz. All Circuits are through home made distribution
boards with blade type fuses/holders, they have built in sockets for charging and separate

buggy type pack if required but goes fine on 6V.
