YACHT THRUSTER VS THE COMPETITION
Choose the thruster that's built like the boat it serves
Maintenance free. Water cooled. Milled from solid billet aluminum. Here's how that stacks up.
Yacht Thruster
Easy installation, no fiberglass work required
Water cooled for 7–10 min continuous run times
Solid billet aluminum housing for impact resistance
Low amperage draw for smaller battery requirements
Other External Thrusters
Moderate installation with added holes for venting
Air cooled motor susceptible to overheating
Composite and low-grade aluminum, zero impact resistance
High amperage draw comparable to tunnel thrusters
Tunnel Thrusters
Extensive installation — thousands in labor and material
Air cooled motor susceptible to overheating
Internally mounted motor susceptible to corrosion
Extremely high amperage draw, large battery banks
MAINTENANCE FREE
Three reasons owners switch
1
Easy installation
Only 3 minimally invasive holes, a neoprene bushing system and a watertight seal. No fiberglass work.
2
Quiet operation
Roughly 80% noise reduction vs traditional internally mounted systems.
3
Long runtime
The billet aluminum body acts as a heat sink — up to 7 minutes continuous without overheating.
