I’m thinking about adding a bow thruster, mainly for single-handed
docking in
wind and
current situations. We are only looking at a 24VDC tube design, not an
electric or hydraulic dropdown style. I see several thread on the site referencing Max
Power,
Lewmar, Quick and Side-Power. I will due the
research for which model, but I am asking for comments as follows:
1. Is this a DYI
project? I am very mechanically inclined and understand
electrical wiring.
2. Does anyone have experience with Side-Powers Proportional Control?
3. If you had a yard install it, what did they charge you?
I guess that’s a start for this thread & we’ll go from there. No rush on this as this
project is only my thinking so far and has not even been mentioned to “the boss”!
