I wouldn't think that was what thrusters are meant for, especially at the end of a shallow dyke where there would be weeds and Goodness knows what else, in the water.

Thurne dyke has private moorings at the end. Not particularly shallow and no weeds.

I see Sovereign Light has bow and stern thrusters.  Either they will help you to turn round at the end, or you could reverse out, using the thrusters to correct any "wanders".  Purists won't like this, but if you've got them, use them.

Mine comes up as paid - and it was.

I holidayed at Lake Garda last year.  Just up from the hotel was a small marina that predominantly had Riva sports boats.  Absolutely beautiful.  There was also an engine on a pallet, and even that was a work of art.

I use Craftinsure as well.  I have never had to claim, but I have made some enquiries over the yers, and I always get someone who knows what they are talking about.
