You can use the bow thruster longer as they are water cooled versus a tunnel type.

When I was selecting a type, I chose a tunnel type but my hull is glass over wood, original build. Because of the wood keel a tunnel type would not work. Now that I have my external thuster, I prefer it.
Any concerns about damaging it and/or the hull by hitting debris while under power?
