What is a bow thruster?<\/h2>\n<p>This is a <strong>propeller placed at the front of the boat<\/strong>, perpendicular to the direction of travel, and controlled from the helm station via a powerful electric motor. <strong>It lets you move the bow to port or starboard<\/strong>. Its position is crucial for optimum performance: the propeller must be below the waterline but as close as possible to the bow (see diagram below).<\/p>\n<p>If your <strong>boat is more than 7 metres<\/strong> long, Band of Boats recommends investing in a bow thruster for easy and safe manoeuvring. Some thrusters, called <strong>poop<\/strong> thrusters, are installed <strong>at the stern<\/strong>. If you equip your boat with both, you will be able to pivot your boat 360\u00b0 in a tight space, just like a pro!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Paragraphe 1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;titre2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.1&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>2. What type of bow thruster for your boat?<\/h2>\n<p>To choose the right bow thruster, there are a few essential factors to take into account:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What is the <strong>windage<\/strong> of your boat? : This refers to every part of the boat (except sails) that is above the waterline. The windage offers passive resistance to the wind and creates turbulence. If you have large windage, choose a thruster for larger boats than yours, and vice-versa.<\/li>\n<li>What <strong>type of port<\/strong> are you in? You should consider the average strength of the dominant wind, the currents, and access to your port to evaluate the necessary power.<\/li>\n<li>What <strong>type of boat<\/strong> do you have? For example, a 40-foot flat-bottomed model with little depth below the bow reduces the installation options.<\/li>\n<li>What is your <strong>budget<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To narrow down your choice, Band of Boats gives you a detailed description of the different types of bow thruster and lists the pros and cons of each.
