I believe it is part of the stern thruster.
I had heard they have an exhaust diverter because at idle the exhaust interferes with the stern thruster.
Stern thruster. It’s a single unit bi-directional impeller.Quote:

The coolest tug/ground power unit ever, 1957 Hobart - "It's got a Hemi!" [emoji41] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4022c46571.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...01bd444276.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5175d0a4ab.jpg
Nice! We are headed to Powell on Friday, Dangling Rope on Saturday for the "cancelled" lake powell challenge.
We did it!!! We took the plunge. I'm part of the SC team now. 2020 Supra SA 450, 76hrs. We pick it up Saturday. Just signed docs this morning.

Congrats!!! Good looking boat!!!Quote:

Dropped the boat off at the dealer this weekend and checked out a new one they had on the floor. The mechanical side of the stern thrusters seems like a pretty simple, effective design.

Now that side thruster makes total sense. Seems like that would be a aftermarket bolt on item common soon.
Great pic of the thruster, those look heavy duty, I incorrectly assumed they were plastic housings lol, those look like 1/4” aluminum.Quote:

If I had to guess I’d say 3/8” aluminum. Looked very well built.Quote:

You didn't happen to get the brand on the thruster did you?
I'm a also curious if they run one at a time depending on which way you're going or if they both run at the same time in both directions.
Good observation on the screen, hopefully some control logic like the boat needs to be in gear or similar??Quote:

I did not. I’ll take another look when I go back to get my boat.Quote:

Chad gave me a much lower price on that when I asked about it. I told him the SE was too big for us. He said it was days from being sold. just waiting on the lender.Quote:

Hopefully, if all goes to plan, we will be there tomorrow picking up our new whip. When we were there last week we took a long stroll on the river over by Park Center after a wonderfully tasty meal.Quote:

prestige is a great group and bought my first tige from tyrell when he was working to make a go at it back in '12. he has certainly grown from a tige/sanger/regal dealer to what he is today.....
make sure and get over to the service side and meet paden(aka freeheel4life). he's a fantastic mechanic and sure he will help me if I have any warranty issues even being 8hrs away....
I have to. want them moving there rather than vegas. we have enough transplants here already :)Quote:

We bought private party from a family in Meridian who ordered the boat from Prestige last year. Chad has been really helpful. We intend to stop by and do warranty transfers before heading back to Reno.Quote:
