Side-Power EX Series Single ExternalSide-Power EX Series Single External Pod Bow Thruster Pod Bow Thruster

The externally mounted pod-based EX-Series is a practical thruster solution for displacement and semi-planning boats between 6 and 18m length, independently of hull form, hull material, propulsion and depth. These pod thrusters are an excellent choice where a tunnel thruster cannot be fitted or as an extremely compact stern thruster. The EX thrusters can be used in all types of vessels such as: sailing boats, catamarans, motorboats and houseboats made out of steel, aluminum, wood or GRP. The flexible mounting at the extreme bow of the boat hull allows a deeper position underwater which creates an optimal leverage compared to conventional thrusters. EX thrusters can, therefore, move larger boats by using nominally less power than conventional thrusters. The EX-Series Bow thruster can be installed in most boats between 20 and 45′. These pod thrusters are an excellent choice where a tunnel thruster cannot fit or as an extremely compact stern thruster. They are also especially good for retrofitting. The flexible mounting at the extreme bow of the boat hull allows a deeper position underwater which creates an optimal leverage compared to conventional thrusters.
