Stern Thruster Suggestions?

Would you be swiveling them down into the water?

DC motors are reversable so there would not be a need to swivel , unless you are into vectored thrust.

MY usual rule of thumb is 20lbs of thrust per hp , 25 from the best prop in existiance,

200lbs from 5hp seems high , and 5hp figures to big amps at 80A - 12V per hp.
