The Willdo Jet Thrusters are driven hydraulically (not electrically) by the propulsion engine. A hydraulic pump, which is fitted onto the propulsion engine, drives an hydraulic motor, located in the pump housing, which in turn activates a water pump, that sucks in the water through an opening in the bottom of the boat and presses it wih great force, via hoses with an inside diameter of no more than 45mm, to the nozzles in the sides of the boat.
Each WillDo electrically driven Jet Thruster consists of a unidirectional DC motor (standard equipped with a thermal protector!), driving a centrifugal impeller. As this impeller is immersed in water it starts to prime the surface water and build up the pressure. The water flows through the flexible hoses via the diverter valves to the outlet openings, which have a diameter of ø32mm (up to 50kgf) or ø46 for the bigger units. These openings must be positioned into either bow or stern (Single) or in both (Combi). The water intake (available in stainless steel 316 or aluminium) has a diameter of 90mm and is equipped with a grid to prevent larger objects from getting into the system. Smaller debris that floats in the water and can pass through the grid, will not cause any damage to pump and valve.

The WillDo MINI Jet Thruster, available in a 20 or 30 kgf version, is an entirely new and ingenious development by WillDo. It is a so-called two-way system which does not have a seperate inlet like the other models, but only two small openings. Simultaneously, one of the openings functions as the suction end and the other opening as the pressure end, where the thrust force is generated and, of course vice versa when you need to manoeuvre into the opposite direction. This procedure is made possible by the specially designed WillDo floating nozzles, to provide enough water supply. The bidirectional electric motor drives the vane pump which has been especially developed by us.

The stern thrust installation, developed and produced by ALMAR, is being mounted underneath the bathing plattform at least 80 mm below the water-line on the outside onto the flat of the stern. The mounting is very easy as only a drilling on the hull of 60 mm in diameter is necessary in order to guarantee the power supply. For mounting, 4 screws are provided on both ends. In the driving range the aggregate itself is encapsulated completely waterproof. The complete unit is plastic-laminated and after the installation coated with antifouling. The propeller shaft is sealed twice by special shaft seals. Caused by the special construction of the water in- and outlet area a high efficiency is achieved.
- easy mounting is possible at any spot of the ship's rear,no disturbingparts at the inside of the ship
- only space necessary for cable installation
- perfect for after cabin

Prop-eye
Is an extremely silent and powertul high-performance propeller with internal ring motor for short and continuous operation.
Thus it is usable as a drive unit or as bow- and stern thrusters.
Topic energy savings
Skippers know the situation:
Out of consideration for nature and for smaller boats there are usually speed limitations on fairways, rivers, channels or inland waters. Here the use of the main engine is not economic and it is designed for much higher speeds. Additionally there's the noise that one feels disturbing.
With Prop-eye you can switch off the main engine and cruise almost silently by using the much more quiet and energy saving generator as the main energy source.
Prop-eye 265
The Prop-eye 265 is powered by three phase current.
With its 130 kp thrust it is an ideal drive system for silent and economic propulsion for example for cruising rivers or near the shore - without using the main engine.
Special features
- Robust
- No cavitation
- Longevity
- High efficiency
- Very low weight
- Low power consumption
- Compact, small assembly dimensions
- Smooth running device by axial guided propeller
- Very quiet and additionally acoustically decoupled from the hull
- Suitable especially on boats with little space available
Use as 3 phase current drive
- Powered directly by the generator
- Electronically controlled
- Stepless regulation of the rotation speed
- No galvanic corrosion
- Motor without spark formation (no contacts)
- Use of thin cables

Installing an electric bow or stern thruster in a petrol (gasoline) engined boat can be very dangerous, due to the possibility of the electric motor igniting fuel vapour.
In order to eliminate the risk, this special housing will shield the bow or stern thruster from potentially explosive vapour. The housing enables the thruster to comply with the ISO 8846 Marine "ignition protection" standard. In addition to the standard thruster, the set consists of a watertight (IP65) housing for the electric motor and relays, together with all required seals, electrical connectors and fastening components. An automatic fuse for the control loom is also supplied. This can be reset externally without opening the housing.

A propeller transforms engine power into thrust, which in turn, overcomes the boat’s resistance and move it in the required direction, fully in accordance with the laws of nature. But now, when we introduce a complete range of the patented swing bow and stern thruster designed and developed in Sweden – the Swing Thruster – it’s time to think again. With the RMC Swing Thruster, you get 30-50% greater efficiency, low sound level and minimal cavitation. And last but not least, it does not require a tunnel through the hull, which reduces boat speed.

With Prop-eye you can switch off the main engine and cruise almost silently by using the much more quiet and energy saving generator as the main energy source.
The Prop-eye 170 is powered by alternating current (ac). When using the battery the provided potential transformer changes the co-current flow (dc) into alternating current (ac). Naturally it can also be driven without potential transformer driven directly by a generator.
So the Prop-eye 170 with its 40 kp thrust is an ideal combination as bow and stern thrusters under usage of the battery or a generator, or as an auxiliary drive under usage of a generator.
Special features
- Robust and longevity
- No cavitation
- High efficiency
- Very low weight
- Low power consumption

Swing retracting thrusters are ideal for higher performance sailing yachts, and fast planing or semi-displacement hulls. With the thruster in a raised position it offers a completely fair hull section causing minimum drag. Lewmar has now introduced a completely new and simple design, which is a logical step forward from the current successful range.
This design is in keeping with Lewmar's environmental concerns and has no hydraulic motors or hoses in the water. Unlike many manufacturers, all of this componentry is housed inside the hull, preventing pollution in the event of an oil leak.

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.
