QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSH 550KGF HYD/386T

The QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSH 550KGF HYD/386T is a high-quality, powerful and reliable tunnel thruster designed for marine applications, especially for yachts, boats and other vessels requiring precision, power and manoeuvrability in confined spaces. This tunnel thruster offers exceptional performance, stability and longevity, making it an ideal choice for both commercial and recreational vessels that need extra manoeuvrability and control.

Key Features:

• High Performance Hydraulic Drive: The QS Seamaster QSH 550KGF HYD/386T uses a hydraulic drive, which ensures powerful and efficient operation of the tunnel thruster. This enables manoeuvring with relatively low load on the system and smooth operation of the thruster, providing excellent control over the vessel's movement.

• Powerful Performance: With a towing capacity of 550 kgf, the Tunnel Thruster delivers powerful performance, ideal for manoeuvring larger vessels or performing precision movements in narrow, crowded harbours or when docking or mooring. The powerful motor ensures that the thruster is effective in pushing, pulling and steering the vessel, even in tough conditions.

• Tunnel mounting: The Tunnel Thruster is designed for tunnel mounting, which means that the propeller is located in an enclosed tunnel in the bow of the vessel. This design allows the propeller to operate more efficiently, especially in narrow spaces, and protects the propeller from damage from the waterline and obstacles.

• Compact and Efficient Design: The design of the QSH 550KGF HYD/386T is compact and space-saving, so it fits well in the bow of different types of vessels. The system is designed to require minimal maintenance while delivering reliable performance in demanding marine environments.

• Reliability and Durability: The QS Seamaster tunnel thruster is made of stainless steel and other durable materials, making it resistant to corrosion and wear from saltwater and other marine conditions. This increases the life of the product and minimises the risk of failure.

• Easy Steering: The hydraulic steering allows easy operation of the tunnel thruster, even while sailing at high speed or in stronger winds. The system is designed for ease of use and offers excellent manoeuvrability for the skipper.

Advantages of the QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSH 550KGF HYD/386T:

• Enhanced manoeuvrability: The powerful hydraulic drive enables fast and effective steering of the vessel in the desired direction, even in challenging conditions.
• Space-saving design: The tunnel mounting saves deck space and creates a sleeker, more streamlined vessel design, while optimising propeller operation.
• Increased safety: Extra manoeuvrability and control, especially during mooring, reduces the risk of collision or damage to the vessel.
• Durability in harsh conditions: The use of stainless steel and other robust materials ensures that the system can withstand the tough demands of marine environments, such as saltwater and frequent use.
• User-friendly control: The hydraulic controls are simple and provide very precise control of the thruster, improving manoeuvrability even by inexperienced boaters.

Applications:

• Yachts and Luxury Vessels: The QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster is ideal for use on yachts and luxury vessels that require maximum manoeuvrability, especially when docking or mooring in limited space.
• Commercial Vessels: This system is widely used on commercial vessels, such as fishing boats, cargo and passenger ships, where manoeuvrability is critical to ensure safety and efficiency.
• Recreational Boating: For boats used for recreational purposes, such as sailing or motorboats, the tunnel thruster provides extra control and ease of navigation in harbours and narrow waterways.
• Port and Cargo Traffic: The Tunnel Thruster is also suitable for use on larger vessels that regularly dock or need to manoeuvre in busy harbours.

Maintenance and Care:

• Regular Inspection: Regularly check the hydraulic systems, propeller blades and fasteners for wear or damage. It is important to maintain the thruster properly to ensure optimum performance.
• Cleaning: Clean the propeller regularly to remove dirt, salt or other contaminants that may accumulate, especially after use in saltwater.
• Hydraulic Fluid Management: Check hydraulic fluid levels and replace them according to the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines to ensure efficient operation.
• Corrosion protection: Given its use in marine environments, the propeller should be checked regularly for signs of corrosion and treated where necessary to prolong the life of the system.

Conclusion:

The QS Seamaster Tunnel Thruster QSH 550KGF HYD/386T offers a powerful, efficient and reliable solution for improving the manoeuvrability of your vessel, both in commercial and recreational applications. Its robust design, high-quality materials and hydraulic drive make it the ideal choice for vessels that do a lot of manoeuvring in confined spaces. Whether driving a luxury yacht or a commercial vessel, this tunnel thruster ensures stable and efficient steering even in the most demanding conditions.
