With a clean run, the thruster picks up commands more naturally, which you’ll notice most when lining up at a dock or nudging the boat sideways in a breeze. It also keeps the rigging area neater and helps the cable last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1420\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003eOEM wiring fits the connectors the way it’s supposed to and holds up better in real-world boating conditions.
