    I just had one installed on my 2021 GS24 and it works great. No issues operating and the angled nozzles really help. I opted for the rocker style switch and mounted under the dash on the left side so I could control throttle with one hand and thruster with the other as well as keeping it out of sight. Attached is a pic of final install. I tried to upload a video of thruster in use at the marina but the file was too big.
    baldmike73 would you mind posting pic of the rocker switch location? I just put a deposit down on the same one and can not decide where i want the switch. thanks. I am also wondering how the angled nozzles vs standard ones are.

      My dock is on a river with moderate current. seems every time I dock my self it is very easy to get sideways pulling in. Wonder how a easy thruster would help?
      It is a 2012 200 so not a large wake boat.

        What is the reason for not having a bow thruster from the factory versus placing it at the rear of the boat?

              anymore info or updates on this ez drive model for g23. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on one, has anyone every thought of foot controls instead of a rocker switch? You could steer, throttle, and activate the thruster at same time.

                That's a heck of an idea Whitetail15, make it happen and post!
                If you can imagine it, all things are possible.
                I could of used a thruster, only 3 times today, would of used it 16 times just because I could.
                It's on the next boat list, not another dime in my '16, I don't think I would recoup my cost as we are starting to see prices dropping on the used inventory.
