DIY stern thruster concept and preliminary tests

[The_Robo_Fighter]

Holy green algae water Batman...

Are the thrusters really that loud? Then again with engine rumblings back there they probably wouldn't be as noticeable. Maybe a shot from a bystander on the dock getting a sense the of the spin ability would be good.

Around here there is only one marina I could see using this where there is a strong current, tight docking lanes, a bunch of idiots, and of course a restaurant/bar right on the edge of the dock that is always packed with spectators. The one place I've used the rub rails to actually do some rubbing....

Sorry for the delayed response, work has been crazy. I’ll post more next time I can get to the boat. Give me another week.

The Apisqueen kit seems like a solid option for the price, especially if you need that extra control in tight spots.

Looks like it would interfere with the tabs and wake plate but obviously you solved that?
