When you look at the picks it appears the platform brackets fit within the thruster housing, so I am wondering if the platform brackets had to be redesigned. If that is the case, retrofitting may not be plausible. If you are going to pay anyways, and retrofitting is problematic, you should look into the easythruster option. I sent them an e-mail to get a quote but they wanted me to contact my dealer so they can put together a quote for parts and installation. I was not ready to commit so I did not want to bother my dealer with it. Eazythruster sales rep answered me in an e-mail that they "have a relationship with SC and the thruster install will not void hull warranty", presumably as long as it is installed by an authorized dealer. They looked up my region and told me Nisswa marine, where I bought my boat, was authorized installer. In a way I get that, they want to make sure it is installed correctly and preserves hull warranty. I was hoping I could just get a quote on parts but they wouldn't. I'd say consider it. It looks like a pretty cool system, It is more like the nautigue system, single bidirectional center mounted thruster under the platform.
