Ignition Protected "IP" On-Off Thruster Units

Ignition Protected or "IP" bow and stern thrusters have a hermetically sealed compartment and are typically used on gasoline powered vessels. On-Off thrusters are available with "push" strength up to 170kg. There is no open spark or electrical wiring with Ignition Protected thrusters.

The casing completely waterproofs the electronics of the thruster making it perfect for use in confined or leaky areas where it may come in contact with water or gas fumes. The Ignition Protected case prevents combustion of fumes as well as unwanted damage to sensitive components.

Thrusters come in lots of different sizes. Follow this easy chart and you will be able to figure a size that will work for you:
