Everything you need arrives ready to integrate:
No hunting for extras—this kit streamlines your upgrade, getting you back on the water faster.
Bow thrusters like the 185TT shine in real scenarios: battling tidal currents, sidling up to fuel docks, or holding position during anchor resets. The Gen2 model's electric design outperforms older hydraulics in responsiveness—no warm-up delays or fluid checks.
Its thermal safeguards prevent burnout during extended use, and the sealed system shrugs off the marine environment's toughest conditions. Pair that with versatile control options, and you've got a setup that adapts to your boating style, whether powerboating or coastal cruising.
Gen2 introduces a black box ICU for misuse protection, self-resetting thermal cutouts, and spline-driven props without drive pins. These enhancements boost reliability, quietness, and ease of use over previous versions.
Absolutely. The stainless steel hub, high-integrity seals, and sealed-for-life design make it highly resistant to corrosion and ideal for marine environments.
It generates 82 kgf of thrust, perfect for boats 40-50 feet long, providing precise control in winds up to 20 knots or moderate currents.
No routine maintenance needed. Without a hydraulic reservoir, there's no fluid to check or leaks to worry about—just occasional prop inspections as with any underwater gear.
Choose joystick for tactile feedback or touch panels for a modern helm setup. Connections are plug-together for simple integration.
Five-blade propellers optimized for both directions deliver equal power port and starboard, thanks to the efficient spiral bevel gear and smooth hub design.
DIY-savvy boaters with hull modification experience can manage it, but professional installation ensures proper tunnel alignment and wiring for optimal performance.
