Max Power Electronic Thruster Controller for Systems After 2014

The Max Power electronic thruster controller is a replacement control component for compatible Max Power thruster systems manufactured after 2014. It is intended for service and replacement applications where the corresponding post-2014 controller is required while the remaining thruster installation stays in service.

This component is the electronic controller itself. It is not a complete bow or stern thruster and should not be confused with the joystick or control panel used by the operator.

What Does “>2014” Mean?

The >2014 designation means that this controller is intended for compatible Max Power thruster systems manufactured after 2014.

This distinction matters when replacing an existing controller because the system generation must correspond to the replacement component. Before ordering, identify whether the existing Max Power thruster system belongs to the post-2014 generation.

Standard 2014 vs. Hydraulic HYD2014

After confirming that the system is compatible with the post-2014 controller generation, select the controller type required by the installation:

Controller Option Intended Configuration
Standard (2014) Standard electric thruster configurations
Hydraulic (HYD2014) Hydraulic thruster system integrations

The Standard (2014) option is intended for the corresponding standard electric thruster configuration.

The Hydraulic (HYD2014) option is specifically configured for hydraulic system integrations.

These options identify different controller configurations within the post-2014 product family, so the required version should be matched to the existing thruster system before replacement.

Before Ordering

Confirm these two points before selecting the controller:

  1. System generation: Verify that the existing Max Power thruster system was manufactured after 2014.
  2. Controller type: Determine whether the installation requires Standard (2014) or Hydraulic (HYD2014).

This product is a replacement electronic controller, not a universal controller, joystick, control panel or complete thruster assembly.
