High Speed Thrusters
Hydromaster’s high-speed thrusters combine a pulling type propeller with an optimised underwater body shape based on suitable NACA profiles for minimum drag on vessels operating in speeds up to 28-30 knots.
The 360-degree steerability adds to the manoeuvrability of the vessel, erasing the need to install rudders and might save on adding mooring thrusters in the bow.
Higher propulsion efficiency vis-a-vis jet propulsion allows for less installed power to reach similar vessel speeds.
The vertical stem can be tilted for cleaning and maintenance with its length tailored to your vessel design and depth adjustable to cater for shallow waters.
Acoustic soundproof canopies are available as an option, as are waterproof canopies for coastal applications.
Available as Z-Drive for engine driven craft or L-Drive with weight saving Permanent Magnet motors. Unit is suitable to be installed in aluminium, carbon fibre and hulls made of other materials.
