QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSB 160KGF 24V/250T

The QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSB 160KGF 24V/250T is an advanced tunnel thruster designed for larger vessels that require extra manoeuvrability in tight waters, such as when docking or navigating narrow channels. With a pulling force of 160 kgf and a 24V electric drive, this thruster offers excellent performance and control, while providing the benefits of an energy-efficient and low-maintenance electrical system. The tunnel mounting system allows for space-saving and safe installation at the bow of the vessel, while the thruster protects itself from possible waterline damage.

This tunnel thruster is ideal for yachts, recreational boats and smaller commercial vessels that require manoeuvrability in confined spaces but do not require extreme pulling power. The QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSB 160KGF 24V/250T offers the right balance between power, efficiency and ease of use.

Key Features:

• Electric Drive (24V): The QSB 160KGF 24V/250T uses a 24V electric drive, which ensures efficient operation and lower maintenance costs compared to hydraulic systems. This makes the thruster particularly suitable for recreational craft and smaller commercial vessels.

• Pulling power of 160 KGF: With a pulling power of 160 kgf, the thruster provides sufficient power to efficiently manoeuvre larger yachts or medium-sized commercial vessels in narrow and congested waters, such as harbours and tight waterways.

• Tunnel mounting: The tunnel mounting system makes installation easy and space-saving, without losing much space on the boat. The bow thruster is placed in a tunnel at the bow, protecting it from damage by the waterline while offering optimal operation.

• Durable and Corrosion Resistant: The QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSB 160KGF 24V/250T is made of stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials, making it resistant to the damaging effects of saltwater and other marine environments. This ensures longer service life and reliable operation.

• Easy Control: The electric controls provide intuitive operation of the system, allowing the skipper to manoeuvre easily and accurately, even in confined or tight spaces.

• Space-Saving Design: The bow thruster's compact design ensures that it takes up little space on board, making it ideal for smaller vessels that have limited space for additional equipment.
