When manoeuvring a boat at low speed, the required control of the movements of the boat, especially those of the bow, is extremely difficult to achieve. As marinas get smaller and slips get tighter, safely docking a boat is more challenging than ever before.
In such cases, a bow or stern thruster is the perfect solution to the problem.
Thrusters give you total control of your boat and allow you to move into and out of tight spots with ease.
These units provide lateral movement by inserting a propeller in a tube to give improved manoeuvrability to your vessel in difficult situations.
The combined use of a bow and stern thruster adds a whole new level of control when manoeuvring in difficult conditions or tight corners.
Turning on the spot or even stepping the entire boat sideways becomes possible at the flick of a switch giving you confidence in all situations
