Has anyone used one of these? Seems like a good fit at a very good price.
There are other external thrusters on the market but this seems to be the clear winner.

Re: External Bow Thruster
I would recommend you change the bearing seals every 5 years just to be on the safe side. The unit I had did eventually leak water into the motor via the seal and destroyed it however this was after about 8 years of use. Maybe their literature has some kind of maintenance requirement that covers this now.
