| Post subject: | Completed Sideshift Thruster Install |
Just installed 4 Sideshift Thrusters onto a houseboat...first time someone has installed 4 on a single vessel according to the companies owner. I did a bunch of testing for his as far as battery hookup without using the 8 batteries they suggested for install. Also installed the wireless keyfob controls along with the standard joystick setup. Launching it tomorrow, should be interesting testing this thing out...will probably go faster sideways then it will forward!

those small props give enough thrust to move that tank? |

Yes, actually I have seen video of a similar boat with only one and the trust is amazing. |

The forum is: Boating Banter. It's a boat. Looks interesting, thanks for the look at something different. Greg |

Nice job Brian! That should help to maneuver that beast. I have seen these used on I/O's for frequent shallow water use, rather than risking damage to the outdrive. |

I bet it makes docking it much easier esp seeing as how there is so much side area for the wind to catch.... |
