My throttles are electronically controlled and have nowhere close to the reaction that mechanical throttles have. The delay, a full second to react, can be hairy in close quarter maneuvering. No, on my boat the thruster is a welcome addition. BTW, I have a little over 60 years in piloting all types of power boats.
