Next-generation external thrusters for water flow
Our new external thrusters are the world's most compact external thrusters and allow them to be mounted on boats that were previously unable to mount thrusters.
With the addition of the Hydropod low resistance cover, the new SX models can be installed under the hull in the water flow for low and medium speed vessels as fore and aft thrusters.

The external bow thruster is a valuable yacht equipment designed to enhance maneuverability and control of boats. It is mounted externally on the bow of the vessel and provides additional thrust, particularly helpful during docking or navigating tight spaces. The Side Power SX50 and Sleipner SX50 are popular models known for their reliable performance. These external bow thrusters are available in kit form and can be easily installed on boats, making them a convenient option for boat owners seeking improved handling and precision in their watercraft.
What is an external bow thruster, and how does it function to improve boat maneuverability?
There are various types of boat anchors designed for specific uses. Some common anchor types include the Danforth anchor, Mantus anchor, fluke anchor, and delta anchor. Each anchor is suitable for different water conditions and seabeds, ensuring secure and reliable anchoring for boats, ships, and pontoons.
How are side power SX50 and Sleipner SX50 external bow thrusters different from other models, and what advantages do they offer?
The Side Power SX50 and Sleipner SX50 external bow thrusters stand out from other models due to their exceptional build quality, reliability, and powerful performance. These thrusters are specifically designed to be mounted externally on the bow of boats, providing seamless integration and efficient propulsion. The advantages of these models lie in their ability to enhance boat maneuverability, improve control during docking, and navigate tight spaces with ease, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable boating experience.
Can you explain the benefits of using a portable bow thruster, and how it can enhance the performance of boats in various water conditions?
A portable bow thruster offers several benefits to boat owners, including increased versatility and convenience. Unlike fixed external bow thrusters, portable models like the Side Power SX50 and Sleipner SX50 can be easily installed and removed as needed, making them suitable for boats without a built-in thruster system. This adaptability allows boaters to experience improved performance in various water conditions, providing better control during maneuvers, especially in confined spaces, strong currents, or challenging docking situations. The portable bow thruster's ability to enhance boat handling and responsiveness makes it a valuable yacht equipment choice for optimizing the overall boating experience.
