The bow thruster is a propulsion device used to improve agility on specific types of ships. Bow thrusters are devices that propel a boat's bow or stern through the water in either direction. Can be installed as standard equipment on new boats or retrofitted on yachts over 45 feet. Volvo Penta Propeller, Bow Thruster Right-hand (41100698) permits a boat to shift to the side (port or starboard) without using the engine or rudder to propel it forward or backward.
Key Features:

Severe winds ?Aéth thrusters installed, a skipper won't have to worry about strong gusts causing them to veer off course.
-
Strong currents - at sea and in the dock, side push helps to counter strong currents.

Return on investment ?B¯w thrusters are a popular improvement that can increase the value of your boat when you sell it.
-
The use of bow thrusters is as simple as pressing a button.
