Hear From Our Customers

Hey Derek, we pulled the boat out Saturday morning to get gas and those thrusters worked very well, thank you! - Shannon E

We are no longer afraid of leaving the slip on a breezy day. Thank you for setting us free! - Eric B

We call it the marriage saver, my wife is no longer hiding in the bedroom when coming back to the slip - Greg S

We love the simplicity of this system and the install was professional and on time, thank you Derek! - Randy H

From beginning to end, Derek has gone out of his way to make my thruster buying experience outstanding. I did a self install and the kit he supplied was perfectly complete down to the clearly labeled lines, tube of silicon gel and tiny wire tire wraps. After contacting Derek and providing dimensions, he shipped the unit directly to my Marina. The install took me and my wife about 10 hours total. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, It’s a very professional and powerful system. Thank you again Derek for your attention to detail making this a very positive experience. - Michael B
