WESMAR Bow & Stern Thrusters

Thrusters for Commercial Vessels From 10 To 100 Meters

For over 20 years So-Pac Marine has been providing WESMAR Bow & Stern Thrusters to the NZ Boat Building Industry on various projects, both New Build and Refit.

The use of counter-rotating dual propellers, a WESMAR innovation, splits the power between matched gear sets thus yielding very high efficiency. The aft propeller recovers the swirl energy left behind by the forward propeller creating more thrust.

All bow thruster components exposed to seawater are made of stainless steel including the 4-blade Kaplan props, drive leg, shaft, bearings, and seal carriers. This best in class reliability translates to enhanced safety for the vessel operator and crew.

WESMAR thrusters are available with a choice of DC 12V, 24V, 48V, AC Variable speed, or hydraulic power. These drive options are available with ON/OFF or proportional control.
