System Highlights
- Azimuthing design with 360° thrust vectoring.
- Hydraulically powered with fixed-displacement variable-speed motor directly coupled to propeller shaft.
- Infinitely variable propeller speed from standstill to full speed, delivering full torque at any speed.
- Hydraulic power tilt system allows the outdrive leg to swing upward through a 90° angle for maintenance without divers or dry-docking.
- Sealed, self-contained thruster unit with minimal routine maintenance requirements.
- Containerized power unit suitable for outdoor deck installation.
- Local controls on the HPU and remote bridge control panel with joysticks, steering angle gauges, and alarms.
- Interconnecting hydraulic hoses (up to 18 m) and steering angle feedback cable provided.
- This system is engineered for rapid dockside installation in days or weeks — no drydock required, minimal hull modifications, just deck foundations.
