There are few Seagulls which produce more than 2.5hp. Who's got a dynamometer?

Bow Thrusters ehh . . .
Methinks that deserves a whole new link. If the water pump output was maybe trebled (ie fit two more impellors to the drive shaft within an enlarged pump body), the outlet stream could be diverted by lengthened pipe to the bow.
This then is connected to a shaft drive cam operated manual pivot, and the thrust jet could be strategically placed for accurate mooring facility . . .

Lets hope it stops the prop sucking in air, also it may help lift the transom a touch.
