- Marine Trader / Labelle 40
We own a 40' Marine Trader Labelle (weighs about 23,000 lbs) and we're looking to add a bow thruster. We want to avoid tunnel thrusters. We've researched both the Exturn Yacht Controller and the SideShift SS340.
The Yacht Controller seems to be quite a bit more expensive than the comparable Sideshift.
Can anyone give us advice re: their dependability, ease of use, and - most importantly - the amount of drag they introduce.
We usually cruise at about 9 - 10 knots and really don't want to incur any large degradation in speed.
Thanks for whatever info you can offer.
