Plenty of power and fairly quiet compared to some I have heard. Toggle switch at each helm. Did not need extra batteries because the distance from my mains to the thruster was under 12'. Installed expertly and works flawlessly. Be happy to share any details on price, where (Seattle area) etc via e- mail.
