New DIY Install YachtThruster Bow Thruster-Price reduced

Never installed Yacht Thruster 300-S Bow Thruster kit with second joystick, for either single or two-helm, 39' to 55' boats.
Easy DIY owner-installation- just 2 small holes in the hull, then wire it up to 2 batteries. (24 volts), then install the joystick(s).
This is the only owner-installation capable bow thruster available. Special size drill bits, 2 joysticks, wiring harnesses and Sikaflex caulk included. Works for both powerboats and sailboats. Purchased at the 2019 Seattle Boat show but never installed. Currently $5,896 at West Marine. Original manual and warrantee card included. $3,800

The Yacht Thruster, Marinna ExTurn and Simplex are all the identical thruster, but just with different branding labels.
Link to the DIY installation video https://youtu.be/QlD42SCfCMw
Product info. https://www.yachtthruster.com/simplex-thruster/
West Marine price: https://www.westmarine.com/side-powe...-17192816.html

Located in Everett, WA, but I can pack and ship it anywhere for the cost of Fedex ground freight.
