Jet Thruster makes use of a high power electrical Turbine style Centrifugal water pump. You can use the system as Bow Thruster, Stern Thruster, or in combination to make the full "docking system" Jet Thruster, a unique product in the industry. 

The system works like any other boat thruster: Push the joystick or button to port or starboard, and the boat will move in that direction. 

All parts of the system are made from high quality Stainless Steel 316 or High grade Composite materials, and are certified to meet industrial quality standards.

The Jet Thruster pump draws water thru a 3" or 4" intake on the bottom of the boat, fitted with an isolation ball valve. The powerful pump generates a large water flow, directed thru flexible reinforced rubber hoses by proprietary electro-motive valves. The system works on the principal of low pressure and high flow rate.

The water flow is directed to nozzles which are located Forward and Aft in the boat, just below the water line. From this nozzle the water jet will exit the nozzle, and push the boat into the direction of choice. The size of the outlet nozzles allow for placement at the extreme ends of the bow and stern, maximising efficiency.

Without the need for specialized fiberglassing, any skilled or DIY technician can install the Jet Thruster in virtually any pleasure yacht on the market. 

With four models of Jet Thruster, our systems are normally installed to 25-60Ft yachts, but can be scaled to virtually any size vessel.

By using a 2-way pump outlet, you can have a bow and stern Thruster with a single Jet Thruster pump unit

The pump unit can be placed everywhere, as long as it is below the waterline (you need min. 30cm draft for the pump position)

High Quality Bronze impeller, no cavitation, no more stuck objects in a tunnel or propellor, and no more loud noises common for traditional thrusters.

Isolation Ball Valves allow complete maintenance of system while in the water

No more Epoxy or fiberglas work needed, just use a common PU-Sealant such as Sikaflex 291i to glue thru hull fittings together. 

Small 65mm Composite thru hull nozzle’s which can be placed maximum aft or forward

Flexible hose, gives you many installation possibilities.

All thru-hull fittings are ISO 9093 and ABYC Certified! A perfect solution for, shallow draft boats, catamarans, and wooden yachts. By far more easy to install compared to a conventional tunnel or retractable thruster

A Jet Thruster does not have vulnerable moving parts, and less maintenance than any other thruster system on the market.The required maintenace can be performed by any technician or skilled owner and is limited to exchanging the Zinc anode periodically. 

Where conventional thrusters displace a volume of water with use of a propellor, a jet thruster makes use of a centrifugal pump. The advantage of working with a pump lays in the flexibility towards pump placement inside the boat. 

Because the electrical motor of a tunnel thruster must be on top of the tunnel tube, automatically the installation is limited. A jet thruster pump unit however can be placed anywhere in the boat. The water flow is transported thru a reinforced flexible hose to the bow and stern. This offers great installation fflexibility. 

Not every boat has enough space for tunnel thruster equipment. Now there is a great alternative. The principle of a centrifugal pump is relatively simple. Thru the inlet, a volume of water enters the pump. The closed impeller slingshots the water in outward motion, causing an increaded  pressure. From the discharge nozzle, the water is transported to the directional valve which selected the exit of the water to the port, -or starboard nozzle

Salt water and marine environments are highly corrosive. Only specialized metals can withstand these conditiond. The pat years the boating industry has discovered that modern plastics are highly suitable to long-term withstand the (corrosive salt water) elements. Materials and parts, manufacturerd from a technical product called Nylon (Poliyamide) reinforced with glass power, offers a great alternative for metal and even bronze parts. 

Especially thru-hull parts, in direct contact with (Sea) water, are subseptical for corrosion related issues such as crevice and electrochemical corrosion, often induced by stray-currents found near boat, by faulty connections such as shore-power connections which can "leak" energy in the water. Besides Stray-currents, barnacles will settle on metal flanges, and cause damage. To prevent barnacle growth, aggressive environmental unfriendly chemicals are used as antifouling, and applied directly on all thru-hulls, causing potential problems. 

Studies have showed, composite materials such as the Poliamide parts, injection moulded in the right quaility and thickness, result in a long lasting, great alternative. As they are non-conductive, and completely un-affected by salt water, they offer a long lasting and safe alternative. Jet Thruster thru-hull parts are injection moulded from these composites and offer peace of mind towards the corrosion topic of thru-hulls. As part of the CE and ISO norms all parts were subject to a survey by a notified body, tested and approved for use in the pleasure boat industry.
