Standard bow thruster from Rim Drive Technology

Our standard bow thruster is the quietest in its class. Thanks to its compact design, it can be installed further forward in the bow, allowing for better control – especially in wind or current.


This electric bow motor can also be used as a stern thruster. It is designed for continuous operation and does not require wear-prone components such as shaft seals or gaskets.

This ensures a reliable, low-maintenance, and especially quiet propulsion system.

What is a bow thruster (bugstrahlruder)?

A bow thruster – in German, Bugstrahlruder – is a transverse thruster located at the front of a boat. It generates lateral thrust and allows you to move the bow (the front of the boat) specifically to the left or right.
This is especially helpful when:


✔ Docking in the harbor
✔ Casting off in crosswinds
✔ Maneuvering in tight marinas
✔ Positioning in currents

Bow thrusters for every application

The bow thrusters from Rim Drive Technology are suitable for boats from 2 to 20 meters and are available in power levels from 0.5 to 75 kW. Thanks to their modular design, they can be easily expanded or converted for other purposes. This way, you remain flexible in the future as well.

Bow thrusters for every application

Why Rim Drive Technology?

All our electric bow thrusters are saltwater-resistant, compact, and lightweight. They contain neither oil nor seals, preventing leaks and significantly reducing maintenance requirements.

The unique rim drive technology operates with only a single rotating component. This minimizes the risk of failure while maximizing performance.

Our motors offer proportional control and instant acceleration for precise and controlled maneuvers.

Why Rim Drive Technology?

Flexible use of Rim Drive motors

Also as stern thruster A major advantage of our electric bow motors is their versatility. You can not only install them at the bow of the boat, but also at the stern as a stern thruster.

This makes maneuvering easier, especially when docking or navigating in tight areas. This way, you maintain full control over your vehicle in every situation.
