We are going to have a bowthruster fitted on our SO49. Any advice on size etc.

I have a Vetus aboard in a tunnel and powered by 2 batteries underneath the forward berth. I don't have the specification on which Vetus I have (I'll see if I can find that in my paperwork), but whatever model I have is one size too small.
I was at a boat show ("BOOT" in Duesseldorf) yesterday and saw a couple of nifty drop-down bowthrusters that will incur more engineering and installation work, but will not create extra drag and probably also prevent the kind of marine growth that is reducing my bowthruster's performance.
