| Has anyone heard about installing bow thrusters on a CD 25. Seems to me the draft is too shallow. |

The closest anyone has come to that is a kind of kluged-together stern thruster made from something similar to an electric trolling motor. Some of the Rangers have thrusters but as you suggest, they have more draft.

The one that comes to mind for me is the Sideshifter (www.sideshifter.com) since it's mounted externally.

Looks like there are two parallel threads going here at the same time with the same title.
Mike or Bill, Can you marry them together  
Bet you can, and thanks.
