Evening all!

Any Antares 30/Leader 10 owners had a stern thruster fitted?

Wondering if it's worth the money, they do a very good impresion of a sail:rolleyes:

Cheers for now.

not normally a fan of stern thrusters (even though we fit them!) but some boats really benefit from them. Yours is one of them. So much prop wash with a powerful engine and a single shaft, along with high windage. I know you're good at handling her, so that isn't the problem. Twin engines I think money on training is better spent, not the case for you. You already have an excellent bow thruster, without which the boat would be impossible IMHO.

And I know that didn't answer your question but I hope it was a relevant opinion!
