Lateral control

Caught in a tight situation with a strong cross wind pushing your bow out of the straight and narrow? Most of us have, and we’ve all longed for something to help us keep that bow pointing exactly where we want it to go.

The answer is side thrusters sitting neatly in their channel through the hull. Designed to deliver a controlled sideways force, they are able to help keep directional stability and to avoid the bow or stern swinging out of control. To get the best performance in all sorts of weather and water conditions, the side thruster needs to be powerful enough for the size and weight of the boat it’s installed on. Not enough power at the crucial moment could spell disaster.

Boatcare have the experience and technical capability to determine the correct power requirements and thruster type for your boat, to ensure reliable performance every time you use it.
