SideShift Announces ST240-Dual Outboard + Sterndrive Mounted Thruster

Until now, larger outboard- and sterndrive-powered boats didn’t have much help at the dock in tough conditions. Sideshift’s new ST240-Dual Stern Thruster takes the stress out of docking large boats up to 50 feet in length.

The units attach to the cavitation plate of any outboard motor or sterndrive, eliminating the installation issues common to most outboard or sterndrive-powered boats. The unique mounting position creates zero drag as the thrusters ride above water when the boat is on plane, and the units can be easily installed in water in only a few hours.

The powerful, water-cooled 24V motors and heavy-duty 8-inch aluminum propellers provide instant lateral thrust for stress-free docking in any situation.

For boats with existing bow thrusters, you can add the dual wireless joystick option for easy single-handed operation of both thrusters, providing 360-degree control in any docking situation.

The kit costs $5,295 at shop-us.sideshift.com.
