Why Choose the Lewmar 185TT Gen2 Bow Thruster for Effortless Maneuvering

Imagine gliding into a tight marina slip with confidence, even in crosswinds or strong currents. The Lewmar 185TT 6.0 kW Gen2 tunnel thruster delivers exactly that kind of precision control for mid-sized boats. Designed for sailors and powerboaters who demand reliability without the hassle, this 24V model packs 97 kgf of thrust to make docking a breeze. Unlike older systems that require constant upkeep, the Gen2 series eliminates reservoirs entirely—no leaks, no fluid checks, and zero maintenance headaches.

What sets this thruster apart is its engineering focus on real-world performance. High-performance five-blade propellers ensure balanced thrust in both directions, so you get consistent power whether porting or starboarding. The spline-driven design ditches fragile drive pins, reducing wear and boosting longevity. Paired with a hardened spiral bevel gear, it transmits power quietly and efficiently, keeping noise levels low during those early morning departures.
