Thrustmaster hydraulic retractable thrusters are thru-hull
azimuth thrusters using Thrustmaster’s exclusive hydraulic
podded propeller drives. They are available in a range
from 75 to 2,000 HP with either open propeller or with nozzle.
Thrusters can be supplied in aluminum or in steel construction,
depending on vessel hull material. The hydraulic power
system is normally supplied by Thrustmaster and may be configured
for our hydraulic pump driven by customer furnished diesel engine
or other prime mover, which may be placed at any convenient location
in the vessel. Hydraulic piping or hoses connect between
the hydraulic pump and the thruster. The hydraulic drive
provides fully proportional propeller speed control while the
engine is running at constant speed.
Low profile units are available for shallow hull depths.
All units can be configured as combination thrusters, whereby
the thruster performs as a tunnel thruster in the fully retracted
mode, while freely azimuthing when lowered. A hull fairing
plate is normally attached to the bottom of the thruster to reduce
drag when the thruster is stowed.

department for a proposal tailored to your application requirements.
Retractable Hydraulic Thrusters AutoCAD Drawings
Notice, all drawings are typical only, and can be adjusted
to meet your application needs. We can vary the propeller size
and leg length to best meet the vessel configuration, user preference
or speed versus thrust requirements.
Please note that these drawings are for illustration purposes
only. Please contact your Project Manager about details for your
specific application.
