Quick BTQ125 Bow Thruster Kit 40Kgf for 7m - 9m Boats

The superior quality of Quick thrusters is acknowledged by the best boatbuilders worldwide.  Designed and manufactured in Quick Nautical Equipment premises, this Quick BTQ125 Bow Thruster Kit boasts the 'Made-in-Italy' prestige in every component.   It can be installed on the bow only, and has an electric DC motor with a single propeller. 

The propeller is made of a sturdy composite material.  The solenoid is protected, the gearbox is made of bronze and the zinc anode is independent from the gearbox, which makes it easy to replace.  The thruster is also equipped with an elastic coupling.  The kit includes the single-propeller thruster, bow thruster tunnel, control cable, push-button controller, fuse & fuse-holder.

Features:

• Electric DC 12V motor
• Single propeller
• 2.2kW motor power, with 40Kgf
• Suitable for boats 7-9m (23-29ft) long
• Tunnel diameter: 125mm (4.9 inches)
• Can be installed on the bow only, due to the tunnel supplied as part of the kit
• 3 year warranty from date of sale

Kit includes:

• Thruster with single propeller
• Bow thruster tunnel with 125mm (4.9 inches) diameter
• Thruster control cable extension lead (6m)
• TCD 2022 Push Button Thruster Controller
• Thruster fuse-holder
• Thruster fuse

Tunnel thrusters are the most common type of thrusters. The tunnel is installed through either the bow or the stern, and below the waterline.  The tunnel protects the propulsion unit and concentrates the propeller’s thrust.   

Better performances, lower absorption

The 4-blade propellers guarantee maximum thrust performance and reduction in current absorption.  They are made of composite materials, resistant in every condition.  The counter-rotating system offers better thrust performances.  The two propellers have each been designed to suit left side and right side, to guarantee the same upper performances in both directions.

The gearbox has been designed so that the behaviour of the propeller is unaffected in either direction.  The bronze propeller gear leg is provided with a hydrodynamic profile that minimizes turbulence.  

Maintenance is not required since the special highly-resistant components guarantee a perfect lubrication seal for life.  The anodic aluminium protection is easily replaceable. In case of total corrosion of the anode, the propeller doesn’t get lost because it’s fixed directly to the pod, independently from the anode. 

The elastic joint that optimizes the alignment between motor and gearbox is an exclusive Quick design.  This acts as an even-tension device, preserving the operating system from impulses from the bow thruster, with above-average results.
