Exturn Yacht Thrusters

Hi All,

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with Exturn Yacht Thrusters? I saw there ad on line an am compiling info and wondered if anyone has used them? I have a 47,000 lbs cutter with high freeboard and would very much like a thruster but have very little room up forward to accomidate a tunnel. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Tom, have you heard anything yet on this? I saw their ad in Sail Magazine and would be interested in any real life experiences folks have had with this. Here's the link if anyone else is interested in finding out more. It looks like they've got some installs in Europe but are new to North America.

I'm also looking for any comments from those who have installed this unit. It sure looks like a solution for us.

Re: Exturn Yacht Thrusters

Having installed a sidepower on my Endeavour, I can't express how happy I am with it and bow thrusters in general. This looks like a better mousetrap and should get a share of the market as long as they are competitive with their price.

Thanks for sharing, I have some friends with cats that are looking for a thruster.
