Thruster Systems

ultimate docking Increasing boat sizes and number of boats have outrun the harbor space for many years around the globe, making docking more difficult than ever. Easy maneuvering have become more important, making thrusters a standard fit in most boats, as they undeniably offer a great help while docking in challenging locations or in adverse weather conditions. However, while docking in nice weather conditions, many boat owners find that using a 100% of the thruster effect is both unnecessary and create unwanted noise in an otherwise quiet harbor. This is where a variable speed...

Put a throttle in your thruster With many boat owners having previously had boats with under-powered thrusters, they now would like to have enough power in their thrusters to make sure that they perform well and to their job also in the worst conditions. To install a thruster system rated for the worst conditions is clearly advisable, as it is in these situations you need a thruster system the most. But the down side of a very powerful system might be an undesirable abundance of effect in calmer docking situations. This is not really a huge problem for most, as you can also pulse the...

A PRO system contains three main elements - proportional control panels, a power control unit and a DC electric thruster - all tied together with the new S-link control system. The thrusters used in a speed control system are almost identical to the standard DC thrusters, the only difference being the addition of a temperature sensor and a new electronic control box. All mechanical and main electric parts are from the well proven thruster range produced by Side-Power for many years. All 12 & 24 volt DC electric thrusters produced by Side-Power can be enabled for PRO with DC Speed Control by...

DC system Proportional upgrade Most Side-Power DC thrusters can be upgraded to Proportional speed control. Side-Power offer upgrade kits which includes the necessary parts for upgrading the thrusters to be compatible with the PPC controller and PJC control panel. To upgrade, the thrusters needs a new temperature sensor in the electric motor, an S-Link compatible internal cable kit and new S-Link signal cables which allow for the installation of the PPC controller and a PJC control panel. When considering an upgrade, you might also want to consider installing more powerful thrusters, in...

Hydraulic system Proportional upgrade Existing hydraulic on/off systems can also be upgraded to Proportional speed control. As for a DC system, the control cables will need to be changed to our S-Link system, and then installing the PJC panels for finger-tip control of the system, will as well directly provide feed-back from the hydraulic system to the panel display. Another benefit of replacing the signal cables to our S-Link system is if you consider to install Side-Power stabilizers in the future, as they communicate via the same S-link system, where you can use the PJC thruster panel...
