Recently moved boat to charleston. Sometimes difficult maneuvering in and out of slip. Considering adding bow thruster. Anyone have experience with this on this size boat? Is v-berth water tank in the way? What brand and size? Expected cost? Any help appreciated
Catalina 350 bow thruster

This looks pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjdfPhqgiyg
Except for all of the complications of extra batteries, charging etc.
Maybe easier to find another slip in the marina or more practice maneuvering.

I have a Vetus bowthruster on my 40 foot boat. It works really well, and is hooked up to my house bank (2 4D batteries). The thing is, that I almost never use it. The only time is when I'm in really close quarters with wind pressure. The rest of the time proper handling takes care of my needs.
