[QUOTE=Larry M;168507][QUOTE=bligh;168474]I was taught to maneuver boats without thrusters unless in an emergency...

Same here. When we started boating, I didn't even know what a bow thruster was. After 50 years of running single engine boats I never used one. Now that we have one we don't depend on it to get us in our out of a slip. If we can't get into a slip or to the dock, without using the thruster, we don't go there.
What a waste!
