thruster
I just sold my 34 mainship 1 last year after 16 yrs ,(loved that boat) back in 2014 I instaled a lewmar 185 stern thurster, best thing I ever did ! even with the large rudder it was tough to swing the stern, ( I've had single screw boats for forty yrs.)I'm sure their are better drivers out there, as I didn't use my boat all that much, please don't tell me about kicking over the stern with back and fill . I could spin the boat around if I had enough room.but the thurster made it MUCH easier to get into & out of a slip with not a lot of room. I did it my self, mostly because a bow thurster was to tough & $$$ for me to install. I did however have to modify vetus down tubes to get it to work properly. If you buy a vetus you won't need to modify anything. like I said it was well worth the money,about 4 grand all in I loved it. I did not see the need for a bow thurster ! but that's just me.hope this helps .By the way I ran mine off the main batt as well ,never had a prob. I sure many will not agree with this ,but it,s just my opinion.
