External and Retractable Thrusters

SR Retractable Thruster Systems

Some boats do not have the possibility to fit a tunnel thruster and therefore require a retractable thruster. The Sidepower SR series of thrusters offer the same features as the SE range of thrusters, however manufactured with a retractable tunnel and gear leg to allow installation on such boats. A major advantage of the Sidepower unit is that the motor assembly is installed rigid and does not move during operation.

Specific retracting thruster features

How the Thrusters work.
  • Plug and play S-Link two way communication control cable wiring
  • Motor assembly rigid mounted on retract casing - no moving parts during retract operation
  • Compact measures
  • Reliable retract mechanism, avoids sticking
  • Fast deployment time
  • Easy to use control panel with status feedback from thruster

The SR-series thrusters also incorporate the advanced features from the SE-series tunnel thrusters

  • Q-Prop
  • Sealed Drive - lifetime lubricated
  • Galvanic Separation
  • IPC intelligence for extra safety

SX External Stern Thruster assembly

The Sidepower SX series is designed specifically for boats with twin stern drives. It utilizes special cowls to enable good performance by diverting water flow past the stern drive leg, which normally blocks the wateflow and the thrust. The units come pre-assembled, wired and sealed in the waterproof box, and only require a small hole into the boat's transom to attach the power and control cables.
The cable connection points are fully sealed, so that it is Ignition Protected and can be installed in petrol powered boats.
This stern thruster option can also be the best choice for boats without stern drives, if the inside configuration of the boat's stern makes a standard installation impractical.
