A friend installs dozens of them annually as a retrofit option. He's also replaces many OE thrusters that have worn out. At $10 to $15 thousand for the convenience of a thruster I chose not to install one. Not having a thruster had the effect of causing me to learn how to handle my boat with greater precision using the main engines. But that's not to say a thruster wouldn't be nice in really tight quarters.
Does it need the thruster? Maybe, but it's sure nice to have when it's required.
Next question, does your boat require a Seakeeper?
Great question. We will do a video on that for sure. 👍
great video
