We installed a bow thruster two years ago
In Response To: Speaking of docking, a bow thruster would be nice ()
It is very useful, and allows entry to docks otherwise impractical
It also allows exit in weather that would keep us prisoner without it
We have a Swingthruster, so there is no impact on performance
In addition, the Swingthruster gets the thruster prop lower than a tunnel, when working
After 8 years without one, it is good to have one
