Thrusters

Again thanks guys for all the info. I would have considered going to a smaller size instead of large given right now I am a river boater. My thought was as the Admiral and I get older they will help us with locking and docking. I will look at Lewmar and put Smooth Moves on my call list.
 
A reputable installer/yard will "steer" you in the right direction with the pros and cons of different sizes. I am not sure what Walter is referring to about service and removal. Mine is quite accessible and removable, hauling only required if propellor end needs work beyond what a diver can accomplish.

Bill, yes, I am replacing an old "vane" type prop with a new red one.

As for being a river boater, I don't see where that makes any difference at all; you are dealing with wind and current like the rest of us, maybe even more-so in many instances.

padave, Pluckebaum is in Prospect, KY outside Louisville. Have you considered them for the job?
 
Yes I talked to Pluckebaum. They were my first thought. I just received an estimate from Smooth Moves and they are almost $ 7000.00 cheaper than Pluckebaum.
