Autumn offersCOMPACT RETRACT THRUSTER CR80
Retractable thrusters are easily installed far forward in the bow whilst still achieving the required immersion depths, even in today’s modernperformance sailing yachts. This results in a thruster that has a good turning effect on the yacht, often even allowing a unit with a lower thrust ratingthan its tunnel equivalent to be used with excellent results.When retracted these units have no affect on the yacht’s drag and therefore do notreduce sailing performance in light winds.Furthermore, retractable units minimise loss of buoyancy. The weight of water in a tunnel thruster’s tubeis an often neglected factor that can affect a yacht’s performance. Retractable thrusters minimise this problem as the retractable thruster’s box onlypartially fills with water Ideal solution for boats from 37 ft up to 45 ft. Weight 40 kg.The new Control Systems safety features are:- Retract to leave smooth full lines,- When deployed ideal immersion is achieved,- Patented composite drive legs,- Zero maintenance,- Base hardened spiro-conical gears,- Line shields,- Electronic control boxes for unrivalled safetyfeatures.
