We provide expert repair and maintenance for bow and stern thrusters to ensure optimal performance and reliability of your yacht.
Bow and stern thrusters are crucial for yacht manoeuvrability, especially in tight spaces or challenging conditions. At Berthon Spain, we specialise in the repair and maintenance of these vital components, ensuring your yacht remains agile and responsive.
Bow and stern thrusters come in two main types: electric and hydraulic. Electric thrusters depend on electric motors, while hydraulic thrusters use hydraulic systems. Both types are subject to significant stress and require regular maintenance to avoid serious issues. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to expensive repairs and potentially severe damage.
Thrusters are designed to operate in water, not air. Accurate diagnostics and maintenance are best performed while the boat is afloat. However, for thorough inspections and major repairs, the yacht may need to be placed in dry dock. Our service engineers and propulsion engineers are skilled in both electric and hydraulic systems, offering services that include disassembly, overhaul, and repairs in our fully equipped workshop.
Common problems with thrusters include debris trapped in the tunnel or around the blades, which can cause extensive damage if not addressed. We conduct regular visual inspections and manual shaft turns to detect potential issues early.
Our team has extensive experience working with leading thruster brands, including:
Side-Power
Quick Nautical Equipment
