Hi there Pierre
A friend of mine installed his own Bow Thruster on a 42 ft Searay Express. The cost for the unit plus materials was around $5000. He did all the work himself and it works perfectly. He is a good mechanic and was able to also do the fiberglass work .
Apparently the cost to have one professionally installed is double , so I`ve been told.
I have a factory insatlled Side Power from carver on my 456.
Good luck , a good investment for a boat like yours.
