Transom-Mounted Units

Home > Products > Propulsion Units > Hydraulic > Transom-Mounted

Transom-mounted units are ideal for applications where sufficient freeboard is available.  They can be welded to the transom or sides of vessels, barges or platforms.  Frequent immersion from wave action is no problem.  The engine and hydraulic power unit may be installed on deck or in an engine room at any convenient location.  A single engine may power multiple transom-mounted thrusters.

Contact our Sales Department for a proposal tailored to your application requirements or request our AutoCAD drawing CD-ROM for drawings of various sizes and configurations.

THRUSTMASTER Transom-Mounted AutoCAD Drawings

The “Thrustmaster” is recommended for dynamic positioning applications, double-ended river ferries and similar applications where thru 360 degree steering is required. It uses a multi-port hydraulic swivel assembly and hydraulic motor powered slewing drives for steering.

WORKMASTER Transom-Mounted AutoCAD Drawings

The “Workmaster” is recommended for general propulsion applications. Since the propeller can run in reverse as easily as it runs in forward mode by virtue of the over-center hydrostatic transmission drive, the “Workmaster” is capable of directing thrust in any direction of the compass. It uses a hydraulic actuator for steering and is simpler and less expensive than the “Thrustmaster”.
