Installation is fast and simple, since the Deck Mounted Electric Propulsion Drives merely has to be bolted onto a foundation prepared by the shipyard. Thus every kind of floating object can easily become motorised. The System is characterised by its wide variety of applications.

The MPS-Marine Thruster Systems Deck Mounted, Electric and Steerable Propeller Drives units are of a very heavy duty construction, offering full 360 degree continuous steering (optional). The permanent magnet electric motor is designed as an integral part of the thruster hub and thereby eliminating the reduction gear sets required in other mechanical drives..... less noise, maximum efficiency and greater reliability in either rotation, offers high thrust performance in a very compact drive package. The hydraulic transmission is (vertical height adjustment + unit raised positions) diesel genset engine driven through the PTO.

The unit incorporates our unique transmission kick-up device which is specifically designed for shallow water or beaching applications and protects the transmission from unknown underwater hazards.
