Side-Power SEP80/185T 12V Proportional Thruster
$5,895.00The Side-Power SEP80/185T 12V is a side power proportional thruster for bow or stern tunnel installations on boats in the 35 to 48 ft range. It delivers 80 kg / 176 lb thrust at 10.5VDC through a 185 mm tunnel and uses twin 5-blade propellers. Its proportional speed control gives finer docking response than a standard On/Off thruster.

WHY CHOOSE US?
TYPES OF BOW THRUSTERS
ELECTRIC TUNNEL BOW THRUSTERS
Electric tunnel bow thrusters are integrated within the hull, providing lateral thrust to aid in docking and maneuvering. These systems are efficient and suitable for a wide range of vessels. Yachtaid Marine offers models like the Side-Power SE120/215T, known for its reliability and performance.
RETRACTABLE BOW THRUSTERS
Retractable bow thrusters can be deployed when needed and retracted to maintain the vessel’s hydrodynamic profile. This feature is particularly beneficial for sailing yachts where drag reduction is crucial. Yachtaid Marine’s selection includes retractable models that combine performance with minimal hull resistance.
HYDRAULIC BOW THRUSTERS
Hydraulic bow thrusters deliver high thrust power, making them ideal for larger yachts and commercial vessels. They offer continuous operation without the risk of overheating. Yachtaid Marine provides hydraulic options that ensure robust performance under demanding conditions.
EXTERNALLY MOUNTED BOW THRUSTERS
For vessels where internal installation is challenging, external bow thrusters offer a viable solution. These units are attached to the hull’s exterior, providing effective maneuverability without extensive structural modifications. Yachtaid Marine supplies externally mounted thrusters suitable for various boat types.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF BOW THRUSTERS
ENHANCED MANEUVERABILITY
Bow thrusters provide strong lateral thrust, allowing smooth and accurate control when docking, turning, or maneuvering in tight or crowded marina spaces. Ideal for solo captains or windy conditions.
MULTIPLE POWER OPTIONS
Offered in electric and hydraulic configurations, bow thrusters can be tailored to match your vessel’s size, operational demands, and available power systems for efficient and responsive navigation.
COMPACT & DURABLE DESIGN
Designed for performance and longevity, bow thrusters feature corrosion-resistant materials, sealed gear housings, and compact builds that allow easy installation even in tight hull spaces.
IGNITION PROTECTED MODELS
Built for gasoline-powered vessels, these models are sealed to prevent spark ignition of flammable vapors, ensuring full compliance with ABYC and ISO safety standards in engine compartments.
INTEGRATED INSTALLATION KITS
Each kit includes tunnel, joystick, fuse, control cables, and mounting hardware, simplifying installation while ensuring complete system integration and manufacturer-grade performance.
LOW NOISE OPERATION
Equipped with advanced propeller geometry and quiet-running motors, these thrusters minimize onboard vibration and acoustic interference for peaceful cruising and easier communication.
BENEFITS OF BOW THRUSTERS
Installing a bow thruster is one of the most impactful upgrades for yacht maneuverability and safety. Whether you’re navigating a busy marina or docking solo, bow thrusters give you superior control and peace of mind. Below are the key benefits that make them a must-have for modern vessels.
- Improved Docking Precision: Easily align your boat in tight spots or alongside docks, even in strong wind or current conditions.
- Enhanced Solo Maneuvering: Bow thrusters simplify navigation for solo skippers, reducing the need for external assistance when docking or departing.
- Time-Saving Operations: Spend less time adjusting position or making multiple attempts when entering a slip—just point, push, and dock.
- Greater Safety in Tight Spaces: Avoid collisions or hull contact in narrow passages by gaining lateral control when it matters most.
- Increased Vessel Value: A quality bow thruster is an attractive feature for resale, adding both functional and market value to your yacht.
- User-Friendly Controls: Modern thrusters come with intuitive joysticks or touch panels, making them easy to operate for all experience levels.
