Hydraulic bow and stern thrusters

Hydraulic bow and stern thrusters. To gain total control of your boat when manoeuvring in a port or dock, regardless of wind conditions and currents, a bow or stern thruster allows you to manoeuver in and out of tight spots with ease.

APC offers different types of hydraulically and electrically driven bow and stern thrusters for safe docking and departure.

Thrusters often produce a great deal of noise. APC has tried to reduce this by using an oil and grease free belt drive which drives a h.q. bronze propeller with large blades. This results in a silent operation. The large blades provide extra thrust. The design our of thruster is environmental friendly. The hydro engine is placed outside the tunnel and therefor especially equipped for environmental friendly fluids.
