Maneuvering vessels in today's confines of a busy harbour, or marina can challenge even a skilled crew.
Cross winds and tides can be difficult to overcome with conventional propulsion, and steering gear, particularly when "stern to mooring" which is becoming a more common practice around the World. The Swing retracting model is ideal for high performance sailing yachts and for fast planning motor yachts, because it tucks away completely so there is little drag on the hull. Lewmar Thrusters can help provide additional control just when you need it at the touch of a button, or move of a joystick.
Lewmar has a range of well proven thrusters which suit sail or power vessels from below 30 - 150ft. For highly controlled maneuvering in restricted situations Lewmar's TT ELECTRIC Thrusters represent a move forward in design and function. Easy installation and maintenance free operation are benefits that will attract both builders and owners. A comprehensive program of testing has proved that the new Lewmar Thrusters deliver efficient, balanced and supremely quiet performance.
