I'd like to see a video of the thruster in action.

Does it only aid in side to side movement or does it also move you backwards and forwards?

This type of thruster moves the bow of the boat side to side.

It's simply horrifying. I'm going to have nightmares this is being done to the Mirage from this day forward. I don't care how long it would take I would figure out how to dock the boat without the thruster and/or find a new place to boat. 24 knot Hatteras with 40' of freeboard for sure........70+ MPH performance hull with 5' of freeboard....come on man.
