  I’ve seen them mounted on the bow, but never on an outdrive. Interesting.

  Seems like that would affect performance...I wouldn't want that install.

  I think on plane it is out of the water. That boat seems to have two stern thrusters though?!

  @vandermi sorry, I don't think anybody here has put one in a 270.
  
  I can't imagine wanting a stern thruster on a boat with sterndrives.  To push the stern to one side, just turn the steering wheel.

  It is probably a bow thruster. Sideshift offers both bow and stern.

  Yeah, I am looking to add the Bow thruster. Not the stern thruster. As stated just turn the wheel.

  What do you expect the cost to be @vandermi? I would be concerned there is enough meat in the bow- would guess some boats are made with that idea in mind- nor sure our 270's are...I wonder if it was a factory option? That would tell you...

  @rasbury , the SideShift thruster is an external mounted thruster. He wouldn’t have to worry about that.

  Plenty of bow meat to install a tunnel in a 28’ boat.

  Not an option on the 270.
