Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Main thrusters fore or aft

It will move the boat adequately in either location. But both can be put on a common shaft if you mount them forward. That gives you one spare to scratch your.....nose?

I was originally intending on attaching the thrusters to the aft ballast tank frame but someone mentioned to me that putting the thrusters forward would work better in a current (pulling vs pushing).
