In this video I show my installation of the Sleipner SidePower SE50 bow thruster in our 35ft sailboat. I go over some points of why you'd like to have a bow thruster in a sailboat and what options in tunnel sizes exist. The finished installation is presented and I give a review of what I think is good and bad with the product.
