Wesmar Expands Double

Thrust Bow Thruster Line

Western Marine Electronics (Wesmar), Seattle, Wash., has an- nounced that it has added four new models to its double thrust Dual

Prop Bow Thruster line. All of the systems are now available in elec- tric or hydraulic for vessels 25 to 140 feet.

Wesmar's new Double Thrust bow thruster.

Wesmar developed the Dual Prop

Counter Rotating design to specifi- cally address the problems of the larger yachts needing greater thrust but lacking space for extremely large bow thruster tubes. Luxury yacht owners have claimed that these thrusters give their vessels greater maneuverability in windy condi- tions, something which is particu- larly important during tight dock- ing maneuvers.
