Description
MAX Power 317821 Compact Retract™ - Lowerable Bow ThrusterMAX Power 317821 Compact Retract™ is a lightweight electric lowerable bow thruster for boats from 9-14 meters (21'-47').
The bow thruster is supplied as a ready-to-use package and includes:
- Control panel 318206
- The first of its kind in the market, this lightweight composite construction solution has gained great popularity with yards since its launch.
The lowerable design maintains the smooth lines of the hull when retracted and ensures optimum sinking depth in use. The lowest profile and smallest hull opening on the market minimises resistance and impact on hull structure. The unit attaches to a separate mounting bracket (order separately) by bolting, not direct lamination to the frame.
Lightweight composite drive shaft assembly and hardened cone gears ensure durability and long service life. The structure will not splash water inside the boat, leaving no visible moving parts inside. Intelligent position sensing and quick deployment ensure reliable operation.
The delivery includes a joystick controller with raise/lower function with push buttons, electronic control unit, direction change relay and 25 m control cable. Other accessories and mounting base to be ordered separately.
