Adding a bow thruster to your boat is a game-changer, especially for keeping the paint on your classic wooden boat in top shape. All the hard work and money spent on making your boat look perfect can be ruined by a single scratch during a moment of distraction or when you can't control the boat properly.

Choosing a Jet Thruster Micro makes this whole process easier. We like to inform you why a Jet Thruster can make docking your boat a breeze and how this small, water-pump system is a great choice:

Made for Smaller Boats: The Jet Thruster Micro is designed for boats up to 28 feet long. It uses two small nozzles instead of a big tunnel, making it easier to fit at the front of the boat. This makes it perfect for shallow boats.

Looks Better and No Spray: The Jet Thruster's nozzles are much smaller than traditional bow thrusters, making your boat look nicer. Plus, it doesn't create the spray that tunnel thrusters do.

So, by using a Jet Thruster Micro, you protect your boat's beautiful finish and make docking simple, avoiding those unwanted scratches.

The heart of the system includes a composite fully enclosed battery powered centrifugal pump. It takes in water from underneath the boat

The pump unit can be placed everywhere, as long as it is below the waterline (you need min. (Minimum 16cm draft for the pump position required)

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

Isolation Ball Valves allow complete maintenance of system while keeping the boat 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. 

In general, dispite the functionality, adding a bow thruster will affect the looks of your boat. When the bow rises above the water  line, a common tunnel is visible and will cause spray when you turn the boat or hit a wave. 

A Jet Thruster nozzle however is barely visible and contributes to a higher estetic level. Nozzle flanges can be painted with antifouling. Like in the beautiful Ventura boat on the right here, you can barely see the nozzle, if you look close you only see a small dot. 

This is not all: Because the system works with a cetrifufal pump, there is no noise. When the system is in use, you can barely hear it running. The boat will turn beatifully but without any noise!

When we developped the Jet Thruster Micro, we took great care to create the smallest thru-hull parts as possible. All to preserve the esthetic look and feel of the boat. It's common to have thru-hull parts, such as water intakes for engine cooling, toilets intake water, and many other. 

Nozzles of a Jet Thruster do not deviate too much from this but to enable a horizontal jet, rather than shooting it up or down in the water, we developped a variety of 6 different angled flanges. In this beautiful Riva, you can see the 45-degree nozzle. With only a 64mm hole, drilled thru the plancks, and with the load bearing collar and backing nut, these nozzles are very easy to install without the need of Epoxy / fibreglassing. 

 ANY boat yard technician or skilled DIY person can install this unit in a very short period of time. This unique Bow Thruster does not require labour intensive, complex Epoxy work. Simply place the pump over the inlet hole, tighten the inlet and connect the hoses. Drill holes for the nozzles and the flanges will cover the hole. Simple, Secure and  Easy!

We have developed Jet Thruster Micro keeping in mind Boat builders, yards and DIY people can easily install a Bow Jet Thruster without the trouble and know-how of Fiberflass / epoxy

All electrical connections are prepared, and due to the high quality Auto-motive connectors Plug & Play
