2021 Supra Stern Thruster option

[Branden967]

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on this one.

Just need to get a minute to measure and see if it will fit. I needs a BIG hole in the transom and lots of room between the transom and engine. My plan is to wire it into the taps switch on the throttle of my Tige. I will still be able to adjust the taps setting with the on screen switch so that's no big deal. I like the idea of one hand on the throttle with that thumb on the thruster switch and then my other hand on the steering wheel. Just need to decide if I want to wire it into the other accessories with the key on or if I want to have a dedicated switch on the dash to power it up. I wish the Tige Clear screen had a couple accessory switches built into the screen. I don't like the idea of a random switch on the dash. Maybe I hide it somewhere.

To me that’s a scary big honking hole. Please don’t flame me but why not go the surface mount one?

Something like this;

Or another brand with the electric motor is exposed? I’ve been looking at adding one two but I’m to chicken to drill that big of a hole in my boat.

I'd like to get one with the motor installed inside the boat, mostly just because I like the look and to try to keep the transom cleaner. They're getting awfully busy back there as it is. After measuring last night, the one I linked will not work. I don't have the room between the engine and transom. This is probably the reason the manufactures are doing outside mounted units. At least from what I've seen. I'll keep looking.

I personally would wait to see if the factory system can be added.

No hydraulic thruster pump with the lines going through existing stern penetrations?
