Standard Stern Thrusters

To gain total control of your boat the solution is to install a stern thruster, leaving the main engines to propel the boat forward and backward as they were intended. The Sidepower dual joystick panel and docking control panel provide control of both thrusters with just one hand. Dual thrusters combined with a remote control (or conveniently placed extra panels) is the best combination to make docking easy for a single-handed boater.

A stern thruster consists of a standard Sidepower mounted in a special tunnel fixed onto the transom of the boat, either by bolts or bonding. These tunnels are meticulously designed to enhance the performance of the thruster. Manufactured in fibreglass, they are extremely strong and durable. The complete installation is very easy and meets the same high standards of a Sidepower bow thruster installation.

Sternthruster kits are available to suit boats from 28 ft up to the superyacht size.
