Jet Thruster Micro bow thruster is designed for boats up to 9m.
Holland Marine Parts, producer of the Jet Thruster, has developed the all new Jet Thruster Micro. A new small sized bow jet that meets the demand for manoeuvring small boats with too little draft for a conventional bow or stern thruster. The Jet Thruster Micro is the smallest bow thruster system with IP-cover. The powerful pump unit, distribution valve and all technology are housed in a small 15 kg module with a special hood that creates a gas-tight seal. In addition, the entire outer casing of the system is made of very strong ABS, which means that all components are protected against moisture and corrosion. Unlike conventional tunnel or retractable thrusters, Jet Thruster does not use a physical propeller. Instead, the system operates by directing a high volume water flow nozzle installed on the hull. Nozzles can be located much further forward than a tunnel greatly increasing fulcrum. Jet Thruster Micro is specifically designed with the small trailer boat market in mind, where a large open tunnel in a planing hull is undesirable. The Jet Thruster Micro is sold as a complete comprehensive package which includes all material needed to install all in one box. It is suitable for the DIY guy because it requires no costly fiberglass work. The pump and nozzle flanges seamlessly cover the three penetrations making the Jet Thruster Micro system quick and easy to install. On the control side it all is done with plug and play cabling, panel mounted joystick and remote control pendant included in the kit. The new jet bow thruster suits boats up to 9.0m and operates from a 12 VDC battery.
