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.

Good stuff bud!
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. 👍
