[Sans Peur]

I agree with the electronic controls being more to go wrong. I have used both and prefer the cables. I can "Feel" the engines better.

Bow and stern thrusters are a waste of money IMO with the wider twin inboards. I can spin mine on a dime and walk the boat sideways. My brother has it on his large single engine blow boat and uses it every time. But that is the only time I ever see a need for them.
