Autopilot/Thruster/icemaker/sound

[roman An]

Good day - im working on a 2002 340SD.
Im looking to install some sort of autopilot + icemaker near the platform and modify the soundsystem with an amp. Also looking at bow/sideshift thrusters.

I did research on bow vs sideshift and not sure how to handle and also not sure of best options for icemaker and amplifiers so that they dont overheat.

any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.

thanks

Do you have OEM props on your 340? I'd suggest you consider upgrading to 4 blade props vs cutting a big hole in the hull. I had a '99 340 with a really amazing 4 blade prop setup. Man that thing had bite. Felt almost like what those diesel guys talk about

On my 340 I put the amps in the closet located midship, starboard. Makes for an easy wiring run to both the head unit and the cockpit.
