: Stus-List Bow Thrusters
Listers,
Was at the Norwalk Boat Show yesterday and there was a bow thruster company
there which had a product that looked interesting. It was a bow thruster "pod"
that mounts under the hull (as opposed to a tunnel thruster that goes through
the hull).
OK, I had to look up the word ”luddite”. I don’t think anyone is arguing the
use of machinery here. It’s a cost/complexity/benefit issue. Never
underestimate the impact of complexity. I’d go on my rant about steering
systems here but that’s a whole other subject.

Sure - if someone wants one, or even two, go for it. I just find every C&C I
have had to dock or undock so far to be about the easiest single engine boats
to handle. I get and out of

Some people retire from sailing, or buy a trawler prematurely, because
they eschewed equipping their boat with whatever was needed to make it
less physically demanding to sail. Luddites be damned! There are plenty
of sailors who will tell you that a GPS and RADAR are wastes of money, too.

Ed:
I sailed/lived aboard a 51 for many years. Everyone thought we were crazy when
we removed the bow thruster (it didn’t work anyway). I can say I never missed
it. They do add some drag - probably not as much as you would expect. I would
think a pod hanging down would be worse. Neverthele
Hi Edd,
There's an external bow thruster on a Fortune 30 at our Club. My
first remark to the Admiral was, "Look at the drag on that thing!"
Any weeds in your area? It also looks like a weed trap. We often go
through "tide line" o' weeds on the surface around here.
After owning full keeled
e about the last boats that need bow thrusters IMHO.

very good job.every Spring I see the owner have someone do
