| About Lewmar Sailboat Thrusters |
Manoeuvring around the dock area can be difficult,
but Lewmar’s TT Thrusters make docking simple. The revolutionary design of the TT propeller — the latest in
Lewmar’s long history of custom thruster solutions — achieves perfectly even thrust in both direction for maximum
control and manoeuvrability. All Lewmar Thrusters have been extensively tested, resulting in a
smooth, efficient and quiet performance that will have you docking like a pro in no time. |
Lewmar Thrusters Features
1. Sealed gear leg with long-life “mechanical” seal allow Lewmar thrusters to be fitted without
the need for a top up reservoir, Lewmar Thrusters are pre-filled with special gear oil for lifetime lubrication.
2. The gearbox is fitted with a spline drive and all bronze drive legs are fully
galvanically protected.
3. Lewmar offers a composite drive leg in the 140 TT, which does not require anodes.
4. The Lewmar thruster controller intelligently protects the thruster from potential inherent
problems in all high current applications as well as user faults. It includes several
important safety features imperative in a product with such high power, run by DC
electrics, as a thruster.
5. The 5 blade special propellers are the result of much testing over a number of years of
development work and thousands of tests. They have been designed to reduce the noise
level, while maintaining the exceptional efficiency. This goal was achieved, and Lewmar even
chose to make them a little bit more aggressive on some models, increasing the thrust on
some thrusters.
Many of Lewmar competitors have now tried to copy their propellers with limited success. The
Lewmar thruster is quieter and more efficient. Please see individual information on each new thruster for more details.
6. To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats, Lewmar offer modified versions
of their DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in stern and other locations that may get wet or are exposed to gasoline fumes.
These IP thrusters are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with gasoline engines (140 TT & 185 TT). They have a hermetically sealed composite housing around all electric parts. This provides the ignition protection as no gasoline fumes can enter and be ignited by sparks.
All electric parts that could be damaged by water are covered and protected, making
Lewmar’s thrusters the ideal choice for stern thruster installations where it is difficult to
ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.
Thruster Control Panels
Lewmar’s offers a comprehensive range of attractive panels with easy
connection systems.
The Lewmar dual joystick panel provides control of both thrusters with
just one hand. Dual thrusters combined with a remote control, is the best combination to make docking easy for a single-handed boater. A remote
controller will make life really easy especially if you are short handed! Order online.
