I guess I should add that I didn't really need a bow thruster as I can turn in my own hull length by judicious use of throttle and rudder, but I wanted a bow thruster (as a toy), and at that price I couldn't refuse, even if it was oversized.
But as my boat has a fair amount of windage, and it can get breezy in my harbour, I am sure glad I have it. It is a great tool and I use it all the time. Came in one time after the breeze picked up this summer and it can easily counter a 25 knot breeze on the beam.
Maybe the novelty will wear off, but I doubt it.
