Edd,
There is a Beneteau 40 at our club that had one of these
installed......don't know who did the installation but they didn't do a
very good job.....every Spring I see the owner have someone do
recaulking between the thruster and hull.
That not with standing, the thing works from what I can observe when it
is in the water.

Listers,
Was at the Norwalk Boat Show yesterday and there was a bow thruster
company there which had a product that looked interesting. It was a
bow thruster "pod" that mounts under the hull (as opposed to a tunnel
thruster that goes through the hull).
Easier install, can run 5 minutes nonstop without overheating,
wireless control, etc.
Is anyone using one of these types? Any disadvantages? I guess my
biggest concern is the drag factor -- will it cost me a half knot or
more?
All the best,
Edd
