    Hi there,

    we are refitting an old sailboat 18.6m long, displ. 27 tons with a long keel.
    We would like to install a bowthruster and found interesting products of the companys lewmar, max power and side power. has anybody experiences with retracting bowthrusters of them ? Or any other options ?

    - My second question is , does anybody has an idea or examples how much speed a tunnel bowthruster can cost during sailing ?

    Thanx ,

    Max

    Thanx for your hint Dim ,
    I checked Vetus for the tunel thrusters.

    See you,
