We have a Vetus stern thruster on our 52 sedan. It is mounted through the transom. I can't comment on mounting from the platform.
Florida bow thruster installed ours. They did an excellent job and recommend them highly.
I love having the stern thruster - so much less stress on a windy day or with a difficult docking situation. My only regret is not installing a larger unit. Ours is the same size as the bow thruster. I would recommend you go with a larger unit than your bow thruster. You will not regret having more thrust.
Our Vetus stern thruster is a 352lbf (160KGF) 24 volt
I believe it has 352 lbs of force with 12.7 hp and is 9.5 KW
I completely agree with Gofirstclass comments. I would go for the largest thruster you can fit.
