Aftermarket Yacht Thruster - Easy Drive Model

[wakebrian]

Here is another installation done last week by one of our customers on his 2017 G23

[wakebrian]

Just got back today from our demo ride and it was also our first install locally here in Miami, FL at Miami Nautique.
Everyone was beyond impressed with how fast this thing goes (in both directions)
We had this thing spinning in circles for very long periods with out ever receiving a overheat on the unit.
Here is a quick shot of the install at Miami Nautique (One guy in service at Miami Nautique knocked this out in less than 6 hours)
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Very cool! Let everyone know once you have pricing - that will probably help get people off the fence. I was just talking about this today on another forum. My local Nautique dealer did a factory thruster install and integrated it into the Nautique software, so it works like the boat came with it. I believe it was a little over $10K for the OEM style setup.

Yes our pricing is significantly less, we have created adapters for certain ski boats so pricing does vary some.
You can contact us with boat make if interested to receive a quote.

Also take a look at our new IP rated illuminated joystick.

What’s pricing for a G23?

Has anyone had any experience with the EZ Drive on a new Nautique in the NH area (or other newer wakeboat). Has anyone had experience in the Sunapee/Winnipesaukee area? I've got a 2020 G23 and unfortunately mine didn't come with steering assist and I have a tight docking situation that could use the steering assist.

Hey all

I am about to pull the trigger on an EZ Drive for our 2015 G25 and I was hoping to get some helpful hints and install photos of the rocker switch and how it ties into the wiring under the dash and what fuses are required? Also what is the best access point up or under in the dash?? The install of the control box and the actual thruster seem rather straight forward but I'm a bit more concerned about cockpit wiring. Any help would be great.

I just had one installed on my 2021 GS24 and it works great. No issues operating and the angled nozzles really help. I opted for the rocker style switch and mounted under the dash on the left side so I could control throttle with one hand and thruster with the other as well as keeping it out of sight. Attached is a pic of final install. I tried to upload a video of thruster in use at the marina but the file was too big.

What did they charge you for that thruster and what model is it? I have a guy quoting me $4200 but have to find someone local to install

[baldmike73]

i paid $5000 (vertical thruster, power flow nozzles, and rocker style switch) - install was $700 (got a group discount as I brought 3 installs to shop)

Great posts, sorry to awake the sleeping dragon, but this thread needs to be revived, once again, and thanks.
I'm thinking current pricing, and install pricing has taken a dramatic increase with everything else.

agreed, Im waiting to hear back to proceed at my dealer. for my 22 gs22 i was quoted roughly 7200 for the ez thruster, they want to do the lateral thruster.

Thanks for sharing Gator22. Like everything else from here to the price of rice in China, that seems like a significant price increase. Purdy cool mod, let's us know how it works out...
