Launched in 2004, the Compact Retract™ is designed for yachts from 30-52'. This lightweight electric retractable thruster, the first of its kind, has been a major success with shipyards from the start. Whilst other electric retractable thrusters on the market may appear to be the same, technically they are very different.
The Max Power Compact Retract™ is the lowest profile electric retractable thruster available, allowing installation in even the most confined spaces. It also boasts the smallest hull opening on the market thanks to its unique downward movement. Furthermore, unlike some competing models, the Compact Retract™ is bolted onto a flange and not directly laminated into the hull. This means that the whole unit can be removed quickly and easily.
Other advantages also include: lightweight composite construction, rapid deployment, no exposed moving parts in the yacht, splash resistant in the yacht (thanks to its GRP casing), and intelligent position detection.
If considering an electric retractable thruster for your yacht, the Max Power Compact Retract™ is the only choice for complete peace of mind.

TRAC Thrusters deliver more thrust per horsepower than any other thruster available. TRAC's twin counter-rotating propellers are more efficient and can reach higher horsepower than single prop thrusters.
TRAC hydraulic thrusters are fitted with high efficiency piston motors. 8" thru 12" thrusters are available in a DC version and all TRAC thrusters are available in AC versions.
Thruster control is available in single or proportional speed. TRAC proportional thruster control enables precise maneuvering control.

The Veth-Jet bow thruster installation
The Veth-Jet bow thrusters have given Veth Motoren, the inventor of this system, an international reputation. Worldwide more than 1000 units are working now.
The advantages of the Veth-Jet
There are many reasons why to choose for a Veth-Jet bow thruster installation. The main reasons are o.a.:
- Maximum thrust at minimum draught
- 360° thrust
- No protruding parts under the vessel
- High thrust about 11 kg/kW
- It is possible to manoeuvre the vessel at maximum power
- Solid construction, so long lifetime
- The 3 and 4 tunnel system can also be used as auxiliary propulsion and/or brake
- Fast steering time in about 6 to 7 seconds from PS to SB
- The propeller only turns in one direction, so reverse clutch is not necessary
The Veth-Jet panels are developped by our own electronics department and fabricated at our own premises. The electronics department uses all the potential of today's technology. The Veth electronics make driving and control simple, well-arranged and reliable
