Default Bow thruster drag

Put these factors together with a boat shallow enough that it's going to
be able to go fast enough to lift its bow very much and lifting the
thruster clear of the water to reduce drag becomes petty improbable.

How do you like these thrusters?

All retractable?


Nope. Probably Schottel or Gill Pump Jets. 360 degree thrust in
shallow water.

Rather poor efficiency though.
