Marine Bow Thrusters

The water and the weather don’t always want to cooperate with your sailing plans — which is why you need good bow thrusters to navigate rivers and bays. These auxiliary boat thrusters are crucial for maneuverability, letting you move side to side as well as forward. When you’re surrounded by obstacles, facing heavy currents or feeling the wind pick up, the lateral movement from a marine bow thruster will be your saving grace.

Marine Parts Source will help boat owners and technicians find the right bow thruster for boats of any size. Get a bow thruster kit or replace individual parts and create a customized thruster layout with our large selection of parts and accessories. We sell the leading boat steering brands such as Vetus, Lewmar and Sleipner/Side Power that make marine thrusters.
