Boat Thruster Guide

What to buy, what it costs, what it takes to fit

Every thruster on this site, maker by maker

This is the plain list. Every one of the 230 models with a page here, from nine makers: 140 tunnel thrusters, 44 retractable thrusters and 46 external thrusters. Each line gives the model, its published thrust, the end of the boat it is sold for, and the price a dealer listed on the day we read it. Click the model for its page: the specs, whether it fits your boat, what it costs fitted, and the maker’s own videos.

A list this long is for browsing, and nobody buys from a list. To find the models that fit your boat, use the thruster finder, the tool here that matches a unit to your boat from a few questions. To put models side by side, use the compare page.

Of the 230, 171 carry a price. A model with none is one its maker sells only through a quote.

Thrust figures are the makers’ own. Prices are what one dealer listed on the day shown on each model’s page. Nothing here is an inspection of your boat. Check any thruster against the maker’s manual and with your yard before you buy or fit anything. The full wording is in our terms.
