Hi Gwen and Russ:
My recommendation is to do nothing thruster wise until you have used the boat for a year.You will find that with its big rudder in close proximity to the prop a thruster is rarely needed. And when it is, you have the option of anchoring out or using the dinghy to push y our bow around. Against this you have a huge hit in performance for the turbulence caused by the thruster hole.
