HYDRAULIC OUTBOARD PROPULSION UNITS Portable Propulsion Units for Brown Water Applications.

LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES For over 30 years, Thrustmaster of Texas has been designing, manufacturing and supporting marine propulsion systems for a global network of customers. Thrustmaster is the largest manufacturer of marine thrusters in the U.S. Thrustmaster’s propulsion units are manufactured in Houston, TX with a variety of configurations including selfcontained and portable deck-mounted propulsion units, thru-hull azimuthing thrusters, Z-drives, water jets, retractable thrusters and tunnel thrusters in power ranges from 35 to 10,740 hp ( 22 kW to 8 MW ). Special expertise has been...

HYDRAULIC OUTBOARD PROPULSION UNITS hrustmaster’s Outboard Drives are self-contained, hydraulic propulsion units that can quickly be installed on the deck or transom of any vessel to provide pinpoint maneuverability and propulsion. Freely azimuthing through 360° of steering range, the outboard drives are extremely responsive and ideal for tight quarter maneuvering and positioning applications. The transmission of each thruster is a hydrostatic drive - a smoother, more reliable alternative to mechanical transmissions. In a hydrostatic system, gears, drive shafts, bearings, clutches and other...

INTEGRATED HYDRAULIC OUTBOARD PROPULSION UNITS The Thrustmaster series of deck-mounted outboard propulsion units are virtually maintenance free and provide years of operation in the harshest environments. The units feature 360° steering with 90° or 180° hydraulic power kick-up and optional propeller depth lifts. All units are available with or without nozzles. Nozzles increase slow speed pushing power by about 30%. Propeller Diameter Steering Through Range Note: Models with “N” suffix indicate units with nozzle. Self-contained Propulsion Unit Deck-mounted 360 Degree Steering Outdrive leg...

MODULAR OUTBOARD PROPULSION UNITS The modular outdrive propulsion units preserve functional deck space by allowing the hydraulic power unit to be installed remotely on the vessel. Their versatility enables a single engine to power multiple outdrive propulsion thrusters at the same time. The propulsion units suit any size vessel or barge from 100 ft to 600 ft (30 m to 180 m) without major vessel conversions. Self-contained Propulsion Unit Deck or Porch mounted 360 Degree Steering Emergency Kick-up / Tilt Dynamic Positioning Steering Through Range 360° Note: Models with “N” suffix indicate...

TRANSOM MOUNT The modular outboard propulsion units have the option to be mounted to the vessels transom. This unique feature further expands the preservation of functional deck space on any vessel while maintaining the outdrive propulsion thruster’s pinpoint maneuverability. The units feature 360° steering or 180° omni directional steering. 90° hydraulic power kick-up and optional propeller depth adjustment make the units perfectly suited for demanding brown water applications. A single hydraulic power unit can be installed remotely on the vessel to power multiple outdrive propulsion...

RKMASTER SERIES INTEGRATED UNITS The Workmaster series of deck-mounted propulsion units are brown water application workhorses. They feature 180° steering and proportional propeller speed control in forward and reverse, providing omni directional thrust capability. Hydraulic power 90° kick-up and propeller depth adjustment are available. Self-contained Propulsion Unit Deck-mounted 180 Degree Steering 90 Degree Emergency Kick-up / Tilt Optional Hydraulic Depth Lift Shallow Water Operation tech specs Power Model Propeller Diameter Optional Hydraulic Depth Lift Steering Range Note: Models with...

A RUGGED & DEPENDABLE BROWN WATER WORKHORSE RKMASTER SERIES MODULAR UNITS The Workmaster series of transom or deck mounted modular outboard drives feature 180° degree steering and proportional propeller speed control in forward and reverse, providing omni-directional thrust capability. Hydraulic power 90° kickup and propeller depth adjustment are available. HHP Steering Range Note: Models with “N” suffix indicate units with nozzle. 180° steering Optional Hydraulic Depth Lift Transom Mount Workmaster Modular Outboard Propulsion Unit with Tilt. Deck mounted Workmaster units operating in harsh...

Two OD150N (120 kW) Outdrive propulsion units installed on a barge for the military. Two OD150N (110 kW) outdrive propulsion units propel the AST 33, a multipurpose work barge belonging to Overseas AST, a civil marine construction company based in the United Arab Emirates and have been working trouble free for 3 years in a harsh shallow water environment. Two Workmasters WM300N installed on a barge with depth adjustment and 90 degree hydraulic tilt.

Two OD250 (190 kW) modular outboard propulsion units mounted on the aft deck for the Silver Sturgeon, a dinner cruise vessel operating since 1996 on the Thames River in London without any issues - the flagship of Woods River Cruises. Four OD150 (110 kW) integrated outboard propulsion units mounted on the deck of the Columbian Princess, river transport ferry. The ferry has been operating 20 hours every day for over 20 years. Two OD300N (220 kW) modular outboard propulsion units on the Real McCoy II, a river transport ferry.

Outdrive propulsion on a sectional environmental cleanup barge providing maneuverability along the shoreline. Single Workmaster outdrive propulsion unit installed on a spill cleanup barge of MSRC (Marine Spill Response Corporation). Two outdrive propulsion units installed on the deck of a barge for the U.S. Navy.

FEATURES & BENEFITS FEATURE Mounted on deck with no hull penetrations allowing easy and quick installation while the vessel is in the water. Instantly turn dumb barges into self propelled vessels. Eliminates the need for expensive through-hull construction in shipyard and removes the need for engine alignment, stern tubes, rudders and steering gear. 360° steering of propeller provides omni-directional thrust for unequaled maneuverability at any vessel speed. Spectacular control of the vessel at slow speed and zero speed, unlike the limited slow speed maneuverability of traditional fixed...
