Thrusters are handy. When I first got the Navigator (which has both bow
and stern thrusters) I retained the services of a tug boat captain to help
me sharpen my boat handling skills. He laughed at the thrusters and
proceeded to teach me how to move the boat sideways in either direction
without moving forward or backward. He had me practice for about 30 minutes
using opposite rudder settings with careful engine throttle and transmission
settings. Takes some practice, especially in wind or current. The
technique came in handy later that season when the thruster power switch
failed on the trip to Florida.
