Hey Ray:
I jut helped my son move his 34’ trawler to a new marina in Port Townsend, WA. We had a lot of difficulty turning the boat in very tight quarters, what with the wind direction and a dirty prop.
I remembered seeing a video of you hauling out your boat and seeing a bow thruster on your boat. I’ve only seen thrusters that went through the hull. Could you give me any info on the brand of bow thruster you have?
Thanks,
Kurt Bischoff

Sure it's called a Side Shift. Here is the website - sideshift.com
Here is a video I did when I had to repair an issue with the wireless joystick loveyourrv.com/side-shift and a recent bottom restoration video shows it youtu.be/iiY-9lN6AOQ Anne finds it very useful for docking the boat especially in the wind and current.
