Vortex Bow and Stern Thrusters

The Ultimate in Bow and Stern Thrusters

Introducing Vortex Thrust, WESMAR's newest generation of powerful, high performance bow and stern thrusters for advanced boat handling, comfort and control. Available in 28 models, from 5 to 350 horse power and featuring WESMAR's legendary counter-rotating dual prop thruster design, which provides up to 40% additional thrust without increasing tunnel diameter. The dual prop system, invented by WESMAR in the early 1990's, adds a second counter-rotating propeller, changing lost swirl energy into thrust (axial energy). The result is a rugged and reliable bow thruster that produces about 40% more thrust with the same input horsepower.

Designed to Perform - New Look, New Power, Quiet Strength

• Advanced engineering has produced a sleek, sturdy design for maximum performance
• Hydrodynamic housing design produces smooth water flow and greater power
• Quieter performance - heavy PH17 stainless steel bearing carriers dampen vibration

Easy Vortex Upgrades Set New Industry Standards - First in the Industry

• Easy to switch from a single propeller thruster to a more powerful counter-rotation dual propeller system without removing the thruster from the tunnel
• Saves time and money
• Systems available as 12 or 24 volt DC, hydraulic, AC and direct drive
• Integrated central hydraulic systems to run bow thrusters, stabilizers, winches, davits, capstans, stern thrusters and other hydraulically driven systems

World Class Testing - A Product You Can Depend On

• Tested for power, prop size and pitch, clearance and configuration up to 150 hp in WESMAR's one-of-a-kind world-class testing lab
• Designed and built of top quality materials to withstand rugged ocean conditions
