Product details

This compact and practical EX series bow and stern thruster from SIDE-POWER is externally mountable and ideally suitable for boats where a tunnel bow thruster cannot be installed, regardless of the hull shape, material and propulsion system.
The EX models can be used in all types of boats, from sailboats and motorboats to catamarans with steel, aluminium, wood or GRP hulls.
As the external bow thruster is installed further forward towards the bow compared to a conventional tunnel bow thruster and has a significantly lower installation position, a much better leverage effect is achieved. This means that the EX series bow thrusters can move considerably larger boats with a lower nominal power.

Characteristics

Hydrodynamic design
Very short cross channel and ideal positioning reduce water resistance compared to conventional systems. Loss of speed is not noticeable.

Easy installation
Only three small installation holes are required, which are sealed with special rubber gaskets. No laminating necessary.

Noise reducing
External design results in significant noise reduction. Deeper installation position for minimal cavitation.

Longer operating times
The external mounting position under the hull allows efficient cooling. This results in considerably longer operating times than with conventional systems.

Space-saving installation
The external construction of the unit saves a lot of space on board compared to conventional systems.

Optimum efficiency
The significantly shorter cross tunnel and ideal leverage effect due to the deeper installation position, further away from the pivot point, result in optimum efficiency. This enables an increase in efficiency of up to 40% compared to conventional systems.

Quality
All components of the EX series are carefully constructed coordinated so that the systems meet the highest quality requirements. Manufactured in our ISO-certified factory in Fredrikstad.


i-BOX - Intelligent system control

Flag of English I want to install a bowthruster on a boat 10.20m long and I have a problem installing the tunnel so I am looking at the side power model EX55S. The question is whether 40 (56)kg of thrust is enough in the wind 20-30 knots, because for a nice weather bow thruster I don't need. Regards, Bostjan E-mail: bostjan.sail@gmail.com
