08 340 Bow Thruster Install

[brettcloak]

I am thinking of having a bow thruster installed on my 08 340 sundancer. A fellow 340 owner is having one installed right now and he got two different answers from Sea Ray on where the motor should be mounted. One said that it should go under the air conditioning under below the forward berth and another said that it should go in the storage area as far forward as possible in the floor of the cabin.

I guess I have two questions....

1. If sea ray includes a bow thruster as an option where do they put it

2. If it does go below the air conditioner / compressor is there an issue with heat or moisture?

Thanks,

Brett
