This is one of two main factors deciding the right thruster size for each boat. Today most pleasure craft over 35’ have a bow thruster as standard equipment which normally will meet the e ­ xpectations of most customers when using the boat under normal ­ eather conditions. The sizes used by the w boat builders will vary depending on the boat’s intended usage and price level. In today’s production boats, the...
