Hydraulic Driven Propulsion Units

Home > Products > Propulsion Units > Hydraulic

Hydraulic Propulsion Units are available from 35 to 2,000 HP either with open propeller or with nozzle.  The hydraulic drive provides fully proportional propeller speed control in forward and reverse while the engine runs at constant speed.  Many options are available, including hydraulic kick-up of the outdrive, hydraulic propeller depth adjustment, remote control panels, choice of engines, etc.  The WORKMASTER style provides for 180 degrees steering and is for general propulsion applications.  The THRUSTMASTER style is freely azimuthing with endless 360 degrees steering and is used for double-ended river ferries, dynamic positioning and similar applications.

All units can be configured as deck-mounted packaged units, deck-mounted mini-skid units or transom-mounted units.  The mini-skid and transom-mount styles allow remote mounting of the engine, either above or below deck at any convenient space, while the packaged units include the engine on the skid.
