Thanks for the review on the Lateral Thrusters as i am considering them. Ques - are you able to gain any bebefits moving forward docking or onto a trailer as you mentioned? I have currents and wind pulling into my dock and wondering fo you put one engine in reverse and one in drive etc. Curious to your experience docking with these if and how they help.
I've found what I would term 30%+ improvement in handling wind (10-15 mph) and currents when docking, handling narrow channels and getting on the boat lift. I've been happy and observed no con's to the systems to-date.
You can not use lateral thrusters on your boat only the steering so you can get a super ultimate ak-19 deluxe for $268.99 with free priority mail included in the U S A , that system is laser cut ,tempered aluminum, spring loaded, adjustable and it has a special plaining surface for faster hole shots smoother ride in chop and a cleaner wake for watersport activities.
It provides steering assistance at the dock in forward and reverse and it can be adjusted to provide the exact amount of steering improvements at plaining speeds , that meet your personal needs without increasing the draft of the boat. https://jetboaters.net/threads/basic-information-about-the-various-options-from-cobra-jet-steering-llc.16857/ do your research.
