Bow Thrusters

Boatdealers.ca is pleased to offer the best bow thrusters on the market. A bow thruster is essential to controlling the movement of a large yacht in situations where precision is key, such as docking maneuvers. Fortunately, they need not be pricey and difficult to install anymore. Unlike expensive models that require large holes drilled in your hull and elaborate installation, the Sideshift thrusters sold by us are easy to set up and reasonably priced.

Sideshift thrusters are mounted at the furthest point forward, whereas traditional bow thrusters are mounted in the hull closer to the center. These thrusters require less thrust to affect movement, and draw less amperage as well. Furthermore, they enable more accurate movement.

For bow thrusters that can keep you in control, check out all that we offer at Boatdealers.ca.

What is a bow thruster?
It is a propulsion device that is conventionally mounted in a tube in the bow of a boat that allows the operator to move the bow in a port or starboard (left or right) direction. It will drastically improve an operator’s ability to man over a boat which is especially useful when docking, navigating through locks, or operating on windy days.
