Bow and Stern thruster for 396 MY
I am looking to add a Bow and Stern Thruster on my 396 MY. It is a 2003.
Does anyone recommend where to add the tunnel hole or where to get this information?
Also the wiring and where to install the batteries. There seems to be little room to run wires to the engine compartment then up to the helm..
If anyone can share some insight that would be great!
I have looked at Vetus, Lewmar or Side Shift
Looking forward to your feedback!

Hello, I am in the quoting process. I understand the scope of work with respect to the different scenarios just wanting to see how everyone's experience went and if there are any lessons learned.

Contact Imtra https://www.imtra.com/products/sleipner/thrusters/dc-electric-thrusters, they will tell you exactly what you need for the boat you have. It's a pricier option but their Side-Power units are very well made, reliable, and they're a great company to deal with.
