Four models of DC motor pumps allow the use of our hydraulic thrusters, up to 18kw in power, to be run from a battery bank.
Although still fundamentally a DC thruster, a hydraulic unit run from a power pack offers a host of advantages over conventional DC thrusters.

• Better weight distribution in the yacht
• The ability to fit the thruster unit in habitually damp and even wet areas such as sail lockers.
• Allows the DC motor to be placed close to the batteries that supply it, whilst still enabling the installation of the thruster(s) in the yacht’s extremities.
• Allows the use of thruster models that are only available as hydraulic, to be used on yachts where a conventional thermal motor driven hydraulic pump is not possible.
