With this wired remote in hand, you can command both the direction and speed of Wesmar’s DC Pro series bow and stern thrusters, which feature efficient dual counter-rotating props and can be used continuously without danger of an overheat shut down. The ergonomically designed, helicopter-style remote can be set up with multiple plug-in sites and costs $825. The thrusters range from 5 to 23 hp and start at $6,500.
