The normal method of moving the bow somewhat independently of the

Actually not.

I've never seen thrusters on a pontoon boat but I do see quite a few
with widely spaced twin outboards, and that seems to work just fine.


I use a Minn Kota 65 AP on my boat while trolling lakes. Lock the kicker
straight ahead, and use the trolling motor to steer the front of the boat.
Works very well.
