Electric & Retractable Thrusters
Electric tunnel thrusters are the most common solution for yachts and motor boats.
Retractable thrusters are ideal when a tunnel is not possible or when reducing drag is important.

For retractable thruster installations, a dedicated structural mounting solution is required.
