I put it like this, if you play from the red tees get a bow thruster... I leaned how to use my engines to walk my boat sideways, and it is fun to dock when the wind is stiff, but a bow thurster is cheating... Also, it is something else to maintain, and as mentioned, it stops working then what? It is not need with a twin engine. Even docking with one engine can be down without a bow thruster... Just take it slow and have a good crew...
So you are saying any boat with a bow thruster is cheating, if used? I use my thruster when needed, I am very capable of docking without it. I would say it's a very nice to have. Curious to know if you ever went up in size and your next boat came with a bow thruser would you use it?
Hi Everyone, First time posting. Was wondering if it is worth installing a Bow Thruster in my 2001 340 Sundancer, That I have just purchased or is that model just that easy to dock. I have inboards with the 8.1 Horizons. Thanks for any info.
Excuse the typos. The phone has a mind of its ownI Search for white a while to find a Searay 340 with the bow thruster. I have winter escape on the space coast in Florida. I found the boat I was looking for on the West Coast to Florida Cape Coral. Nevetbhaving a boat before it was a little larger then I anticipated.
I hired Captin to bring the boat with me back to the East Coast. Being a novice boating I was was able to dock the boat the first time every time. Although I am capable of docking the boat without the use of Bow Thruster it’s there if I need it. I shoot from the white tees.
I installed it on my 380. It's a great tool to have when needed, especially when wind or currents pick up.
I hear ya! But purdy after...Same....although it was hard to drop 90K on a boat and then do this to it!View attachment 79733
