After 13 years of ownership I’m considering a stern thruster for various reasons. Has anyone installed a stern thruster on a 34 post factory? I am interested in which model, location, performance, etc. FYI even though it is considered a 32 it does have the integrated swim platform.
Thank you in advance for any help or information you can give.

Hey Merry Christmas!
A stern thruster on a 34 is usually mounted at the stern with the motor in
the "swim platform. In order to protect the thruster sticking out of the
swim platform a 2" diameter stainless steel U shape bar is mounted over the
thruster blades. I will ask Ben and Tom to confirm and perhaps there are
some pictures of this install.

Merry Christmas to all,
Our boat (NT32-300) has a stern thruster installed by the original owner. Install was done by Cap Sante Marine in Anacortes. Attached is a photo of the exterior view. We have a Lewmar 185TT on the bow and the stern is a Lewmar 140TT. It’s nice having a stern thruster.
Rebecca, if you would like more information on the electrical configuration, happy to provide.
Cheers,
Angelo
