low profile bow thruster

[markxengineerin]

A cheap bolt-on bow thruster would be nice to have on many boats such as mine, something like the "sideshift" brand but less clunky looking.

Here is an interesting motor

about 100 pounds of thrust, seems like enough to make a difference. It's tiny, weighs 6 pounds and 3" diameter prop

Many boats already have high current 12v electrical near the bow, for the windlass.
Could a bunch of these be run in parallel?

I've had great luck with similar boost converters used over many years, but never tried to put them in parallel. This would make installation very easy.

Remaining would be to make a retractable (and clean looking) mounting arm for it, or quick release connections. Maybe make something matching the style of whatever bowsprit- wood, carbon, stainless, to match any style.

What do you think?
