Thruster systems

It makes docking easy As marinas get smaller and slips get tighter.safely docking a boat is more challenging than ever before. Thrusters give you total control of your boat and allow you to maneuver into and out of tight spots with ease. Boating is meant to be fun. Why end your day or week on the water with a stressful experience? A Sidepower thruster offers the help you need to be in full control when docking and depart- ing regardless of wind conditions and currents. "There are two types of boaters: those who have a bow thruster and those who wish - Eric Vader - World Boater Hydraulic...

SIDE-POWER THRUSTER SYSTEMS

Intelligent Power Control All DC electric Sidepower thrusters have the revolutionary Intelligent Power Control (IPC) function that automati- cally safeguard against inherent risks associated with any DC electric thrust- trol, standard in all Sidepower electric thrusters, is now upgraded with the unique IPC functions that automatically protect the boat, crew and passengers against most potential consequences of a possible thruster failure. Make sure when you have a thruster installed, that • Reduces solenoid wear and risk of lock-in by continously monitoring the • If a lock-in situation...

SINGLE TWIN TWIN COUNTER ROTATING S (Single) A properly engineered single pro- peller system will be the most energy effi- cient thruster. Its compact design fits eas- ily into narrow bows making it the perfect match for our smaller models. With more than 50.000 thrusters in use around the world, the Sidepower single series system T (Twin) The twin propeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. This is our choice for our mid-range models where high thrust is required in a small tunnel diameter. Due to the compact design and high...

TOTAL CONTROL stern thrusten Even with twin engines and a bow thruster you may not always have full con- trol of the boat when docking or maneuver at slow speeds. Engaging the pro- pellers usually results in sudden movements, making such use of the engines The solution is to install a stern thruster to gain total control of your boat. The Sidepower dual joystick panel and docking panel provides control of both thrusters with just one hand. A stern thruster consists of a standard Sidepower mounted in a special tunnel fixed onto the transom of the boat, either by bolts or bonding. These...

HIGH SAFETY with IP Thru stens Side-Power have for several years manufactured Ignition protected versions of the SP75T and SP95T thruster models. Now the second generation is here with added features, more models and reduced prices. High safety standards To make sure that all boats can have a stern thruster we are now offering special versions of our SP40S2Ì, SP55S2Ì, SP75TÌ and SP95TÌ. These thrusters that are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with gasoline engines. Since these are totally gas and waterproof they can also be fitted in boats when the stern area is...

Use this chart to get a clear overview of which advantages the benefits of a SidePower Thruster system gives you!

thruster systems There is a limit to the power you can practically generate with DC electrical systems, so for super yachts and other larger heavier vessels DC thrusters are rarely an option. The greater thrust and extended run time make hydraulic thrusters the ideal choice for commercial crafts and other less maneuverable yachts. In conjunction with a good hydraulic system these thrusters offer continous operation and you can get variable speed control with proportional control and valves. With models from 100 to 550kg of thrust for use as either bow or stern thrusters, Sidepower has...

FECH SPEC Single Propeller Sealed Gearleg Intelligent Power Control S (Single) A properly engineered single propeller system will be the most en- ergy efficient thruster. Its compact de- sign fits easily into narrow bows mak- ing it the perfect match for our smaller models. With more than 50.000 thrusters in use, the Sidepower single series system has proven its reliability. Sealed gear leg with long-life "mechanical" seal where polished ceramic and carbon surfaces form the only moving sealing sur- faces, ensuring protection against damaging water intrusion into gear leg. Pre-filled with...

PECH SPEC Twin Propeller Intelligent Power Control T (Twin) The twin propeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. This is our choice for our mid-range models where high thrust is required in a small tunnel diameter. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the thrusters of choice among boat builders around the GRAVITY FEED The thruster gearleg is filled with oil from a remote reser- voir located above the waterline. Overpressure made by gravity ensures a waterproof gearleg and the remote location of the...

PECH SPEC Twin Counter rotating Propeller Intelligent Power Control COUNTER ROTATING TC (Twin Counter Rotating) Two counter rotating propellers can give the most thrust at a good perfor- mance ratio in a minimal tunnel diam- eter. This system is used in our larger thrusters for maximum power. The TC models are the favourite thrusters among leading boatbuilders for their high-end yachts. The thruster gearleg is filled with oil from a remote reser- voir located above the waterline. Overpressure made by gravity ensures a waterproof gearleg and the remote location of the reser- voir enables...
