Bow thruster installation prices?

Just saying.
Ensure whoever fits this has a proven track record.
Princess 330 purchased which had a mysterious weep into the bilges.
A long fruitless search for the source ensued to eliminate possible causes including a lot of improbable ones.
Salt water but very small amounts.
To cut a long story short, leak was eventually tracked down forward to somewhere around the bow.
The boat had been lifted once before in an attempt to check for hull damage which might be causing the problem but nobody thought to check bonding around the bow thruster tube.
Subsquent lift found bonding around the tube/ hull interface had delaminated.

New owner fervently denied ever running the boat aground and suspected previous owner was aware of the problem

Just put one in myself on 30’. £1000 for kit. £200 on bits. And £300 for lift in and out. 3 days work. It’s pretty straight forward if your brave enough

£300 in and out? Where is that?

... it draws few amps but high volts for short periods so unlikely to go flat.

Let me reword that for you...

...it draws a high current for short periods which amounts to not many Amp hours so unlikely to go flat.

Much cheaper to learn how to handle your boat I would have thought.

Wiring for windlass if cross section is sufficient could be used?
