Q: How much does the EXTURN bow and stern thruster slow my boat down?

A: When positioned correctly, Yacht Thruster has minimal effects on your boat speed. In fact it slows the boat less than a conventional bow thrusters with transverse tunnel inside the hull, because the current doesn’t stall directly along the hull and generates less turbulence.

Within a testing environment, depending on the positioning, the loss of speed differs between 0.1 and 0.2 knots at a reference speed of 9 knots, which is comparable to a folding propeller. On motorboats (glider, half glider), when correctly positioned as bow thruster, the Yacht Thruster is located outside the water during drive and therefore doesn’t slow at all.

Yacht Thruster is easy to install and usually takes only about 1-2 hours for the thruster itself (without cable connections).

It is necessary to drill a hole of 2 in diameter through the hull for the threaded bolt which is a hollow sealed shaft and contains the cables. The mounting kit is provided with bolts and pressure-tight sealings. Once the cable has is laid inside the boat and the control panel is attached and fastened the installation is complete.

To ensure the complete sealing the mounting bolt comes with a pressure-tight sealing system which closes the drill hole completely. The system is certified by Technical University Munich, and when installed correctly could function for more than 15 years.
