Electric bow thrusters, located at the bow of a vessel help provide lateral thrust, allowing increased manoeuvrability of your vessel. Installing a bow thruster on your boat can dramatically improve your boating experience. They especially come in handy when experiencing heavy winds or when trying to manoeuvre into tight spaces. They allow you increased control of your boat, and make your boating experience an enjoyable one.
Electric bow thrusters (DC thruster) are based on their thrust. Mainly used in leisure boats ranging from 20ft to 100ft and often used in narrowboats.
Our range of standard electric bow thrusters provide equal thrust in both directions. Ranging from 30kg to 285kg of thrust.
