Equipment Store

Designed for the most demanding yachtsman, developed together with boat builders. 

QS Seamaster has developed a complete and advanced line of DC, brushless, AC and hydraulic electric thrusters. Built and designed entirely in Italy, the product range includes 40 to 1100 Kgf models for boats and yachts up to 150ft.

 

QS Seamaster thruster benefits

The propeller

4 and 5 blade propellers designed specifically to ensure maximum performance and efficiency from each motor.
Propellers made of special composite or in NiBrAl. All double propellers are counterrotating.

The propeller of each of the thruster models between 40 and 1100kgf is specifically shaped in relation to its maximum revolutions, which provides the highest thrust efficiency.

 

The motor

A complete line of DC, AC, brushless DC-AC, retractable and hydraulic thrusters from 30 to 1100 Kgf thrust, available both with analogic or digital connection systems, on/off or proportional commands. The QS Seamaster bow and stern thrusters represent the most advanced range of products available on the market.

 

Noise

The noise production of QS Seamaster thrusters is reduced to the bare minimum due to the specific design of the propellers and the optimized streamline of the tail piece.

 

Installation

All of the thrusters we supply here at Stella are tunnel thrusters. 

Installation of a QS Seamaster bow thruster is super simple and requires minimal labour. 

A control panel, either equipped with a joystick or with push buttons, is available separately. Their shape and finish make these panels a perfect match with their engine instrument panels, allowing for a highly sophisticated combination.

Stern Thruster

If you require almost absolute control of your boat under all imaginable circumstances, then a stern thruster is, in addition to a bow thruster, the ideal supporting navigational aid.

 

Benefits of a stern thruster

The combination of a bow and a stern thruster offers entirely new perspectives when maneuvering in tricky situations or in tight turns. By having the stern thruster rotating in the opposite direction of the bow thruster, you can make the boat turn on its axis. And when both propellers are operating in the same direction, you are maneuvering the boat perpendicularly on its normal direction line, to either port or starboard.

 

Installation of a stern thruster

The maintenance-free stern thruster is fitted to the transom of the boat. The electric motor and the other electrical components are positioned inside the boat, whereas the tunnel is located outside underneath the waterline.
