The Elliott White Gill Thrust- ers provide 360 degrees of thrust which permits vessels to be ma- neuvered in any direction, or to hold position in rough waters.

These thrusters can also be used as auxiliary propulsion if needed.

Since the Elliott White Gill

Thruster does not extend beyond the vessel's hull lines, it stays free of underwater hazards, lines and divers, and is extremely use- ful on workboats. It also replaces the need for tugs on larger ves- sels. Models are available with up to 38,000 pounds of thrust.
