Lewmar 185TT6.0 Kw 8HP Gen2 24v Bow Thruster

The Lewmar 185TT6.0 Kw 8HP Gen2 24v Bow Thruster is a precision marine propulsion system designed for vessels that require independent directional thrust without relying on main engine operation. It is particularly suited for law enforcement patrol boats, military fast-response craft, and professional maritime operators who need silent maneuvering capabilities in confined waterways and tactical scenarios.

This bow thruster features a 24-volt electrical architecture that integrates seamlessly with modern patrol vessel electrical systems. It utilizes a brushless tunnel-mount motor that delivers approximately 8 horsepower of lateral thrust, rated at about 5.95 kilowatts. The design includes sealed bearing assemblies and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring durability and reliability for over 5,000 operating hours in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Professional operators, including Coast Guard auxiliary units and port security teams, benefit from the Lewmar 185TT6.0's ability to provide redundant positioning authority when vessel-control margins are narrow. Its direct integration with marine auxiliary battery banks simplifies installation and enhances operational efficiency, making it an essential tool for maritime professionals.
