Is Sideshift easy to use?
Yes! Sideshift’s bow and stern thrusters are very intuitive and easy to use. Just toggle left or toggle right on the joystick for immediate response and control. With a bit of practice you will quickly learn to maneuver your boat using the thruster along with your main engines for precise control in any situation.
How noisy are Sideshift Thrusters?
Sideshift thrusters are silent and vibration-free since they are mounted on the exterior of the hull.
Can I install the thruster myself?
Absolutely! All Sideshift thrusters have been designed with the DIY’er in mind. Previous experience is not required. With some basic mechanical skills and a little bit of electrical system knowledge, you can easily install your own Sideshift system. Every thruster kit includes a detailed installation manual and unlimited phone support. You can also view our installation videos on the page above.
