Fitting a stern thruster to a Trusty T28

[pstockbridge]

Hello! I'm still undecided about my next boat! Does anyone know whether it is possible to retrofit a stern thruster to a Trusy T28? As I will be short / single handed, a stern thruster will be essential for difficult marina berthing, particularly with a single shaft drive boat.
Many thanks for any practical information!
Paul.

I would say you can mount one on any boat.

Just looking at the twin rudder setup in the middle of the stern ,which makes it difficult .

Look at anchor lift.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. The twin rudders seem to go right up to the trim tabs. Wonder how it behaves going astern? It does seem to have a long keel so maybe that helps control prop wash. Just thinking about reversing into tight marina berths.
