Boat bow thruster
(electric, retractable) Max Power
COMPACT RETRACT™

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.
