I am considering installing a bow thruster on my Ben 331 and is looking for any recommendations on size and brand.
Thanks

That's going to be difficult. There is not much of the bow area below the waterline because of the hull design. I suppose it's been done, though I would think that a thruster falls into the nice but not necessary category. I'll be interested to see what you find out.

a 30' boat is not going to need a bow thruster. It probably will not have the room to install or the electrical system to power it. Suggest you practice docking instead.
