New Bow Thruster control

[Todd320]

Installed new bow thruster control panel, super easy, plug and play. And the new part is 1/2 the price of the joystick version, 150 vs 300.

Todd, if you really want to make your thruster easy to use, get a remote that you wear around your neck when you get close to a docking situation. The problem I found with helm mounted thruster contols is you have to take your eyes off where the boat is going to find the control then find the right button to push.

I had helm mounted controls on both upper and lower helm and never used them because the remote is SO much easier. When backing into a slip I usually stood facing the stern, did my shifting with my left hand and handled the remote with my right. it's easier because you don't have to take your eyes off where the boat is going to use the remote.
