From the ones I have seen on a boat when they are pulled out of water they are highly corroded.

I am just about to have a bow thruster fitted to my 2010 280, due to lack of room under forward floor I looked around and discovered a belt driven 90 degree thruster giving 40 kgs of thrust, it has a 160 MM tube, standard bow thrusters are too high to fit in. Make Side Power Model EB40. Bazza.
