Hello all,
I have a 1980 GB 36 Classic 120 Lehman single with bow thruster. Being senior and navigating solo I feel it would add an element of safety and convenience to add a stern thruster. The local boat yard suggest a Side Power (Sleipner) SE180/185T 12V. I have approx. 12 inches of transom depth of water. I am told this setup would be a better choice over an "external thruster " (one tacked on the stern) and I tend to agree.
Has anyone a Grand Banks 36 or similar size added a stern thruster, suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Aussie
