Bow Thruster for Small Boats

The SE40/125S is specifically engineered as a bow thruster for small boats, making docking and low-speed maneuvering far more controlled and stress-free. With 40–48 kg of thrust, it provides the right amount of power for vessels under 35 ft, ensuring reliable performance in marinas, narrow docks, and windy or current-heavy conditions.

Its compact tunnel design means it integrates neatly into small hulls without requiring excessive space. This makes it particularly popular among owners of smaller sailboats and yachts, where maneuverability is essential but space is limited.
