Dickson Stern Thruster

My 1990 GB 32 has a Dickson hydraulic stern thruster. Prop unit bolts onto transom under swim step and only a couple of small hydraulic lines penetrate the transom. Rest of the unit (motor and resevoir, I think) can be anywhere in the ER, and the motor mounts on the engine up front. Works very well and because it is hydraulic there is no problem with running it for several minutes if necessary.

Dickson is located in Sacramento CA and is still in business as far as I know. Try Googleing them.

Good luck!
