Wonder if this is worth doing? I have a 40' trawler with the 21 year old thruster that produces, as the spec's say 147lbs. of thrust. Now the next model up does 161 or 14lbs more. Cost $1,100 just change the motor out. Bolts right in!
The next model does 212lbs of thrust, but everything needs to be replace but the tunnel. Cost around $3500 if I do it myself. But I will need to add one more battery due to the increased amperage. More$$
This being my first boat with a bow thruster I don't have any experience with one. So my questions, is 14lbs more worth the it?? The spinoff to this, the new motor uses 25A less. From 355 down to 325, a very small plus.
Another way to put it! How many lbs to HP with thrusters?
