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.<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p><\/div>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"jsCall();\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"jsCall();\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"jsCall();\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"jsCall();\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gooday Steve and Linda, We recently purchased a Sundeer 60 and she&#8217;s in the yard undergoing a refit.
