Stern Thruster
Can someone with a 21 supra with a thruster see if they can find a brand on the thruster motors?
It's something I would really like to make for my boat and if I can figure out what they are using for motors I can do all the machine work to make it work.
Anyone know?2020 Supra SA

I keep thinking about using my Mini Kota and shrouding it in a tube. Mini Kota makes a nice engine mount thruster, 24v, 80lbs of thrust, $900, that looks prime for a diy stern thruster.
Looks like the Supra thruster has 88 lbs of thrust and draw 245 amps.

Sorry, I miss spoke, the ezDrive thruster is 88lbs of thrust each, I haven't found the Supra spec.
I see Sonic was all over a wakegarage thread last year on using a Mini Kota for a thruster.
There are lots of replacement motors for thrusters on ebay, might be able to get some info off a serial tag.

Thanks,
I've seen the trolling motor setups but on a boat this nice I want to stick with nicer looking parts.
I really like the 2 separate small motors that supra is using, it's genius vs one larger one IMO.
Hoping someone has one that can see some markings on it, although it might be all in the shroud and not visible.2020 Supra SA

I came across a discussion about the thruster on PN about the Nautiques washing out the goofy side wave. Only 1-2 comments about it. Curious if the Supra thruster design has an impact on wave dynamic. I await your reports.
