[QUOTE=Fordeaux;1138797]But I'd like up/down anchor controls on the foredeck and at the wheel. Also thruster controls at both upper and lower helm. Currently there is only a single "up anchor" control. So you run out to the foredeck and spin the release allowing chain to "free whee'" out through the hawsehole.

That a lot of running and climbing for an old badger...., but yeah I think I'm going to be fine to single handing with some practice.

Thanks for the travel pointers Pete.

A 36 foot G.B., especially with a bow thruster is the perfect boat to single hand. No further modifications should be needed beyond getting some fenders and lines set up.
Even better than thruster controls at both stations, which is a must IMO, is a wireless remote control that will let you control the truster(s) from wherever you are, even on the dock. I have a wireless remote on my thrusters now and it is great. Check with the manufacturer of the thruster and see if they make one.
