SX50 Compact External Stern Thruster, 12v 50kg/110lb Thrust On-Off, up to 2″ (50mm) transom thickness

Use the Hydropod Kit #SM150536 for installation as a Bow thruster or in water flow

The SX50/140 is the perfect choice for boats where the inside configuration of the boat’s stern makes a standard thruster installation impractical. When fitted with the optional cowls, the stern thruster assembly is perfect for boats with twin stern drives. The special cowls enable good performance by diverting the waterflow past the stern drive legs which normally blocks the waterflow and the thrust.

NOTE:

Other items to consider when purchasing a new thruster:

  • Control Panels and Remote Controls
  • AutoMainswitch, Battery Disconnect, Fuse & Fuseholder
  • 4-Wire Harnesses (when not using AutoMainswitch)
  • 5-Wire Harnesses (for use with AutoMainswitch)
  • For use between Outboards, Stern Drives, or other shallow applications like Ski Boats, consider adding the Cowls SM130773, or Grates SM130789.
  • For Isolation on Aluminum/Steel hulls or for spacing, consider an Isolation Block,  SM148170 50mm or SM148171 10mm.
