Sideshift ST340 Stern Thruster - Black

Sideshift’s family of Monohull Bow and Stern Thrusters are perfect for all boats from 20’ to 50′ in length and with a maximum weight of 20 tons*. They mount easily on the bow or stern of cruisers, sport boats, sailboats, trawlers and more. No expensive tunnel is required, and our unique universal mounting system requires no holes below the waterline, eliminating the risk of leaks associated with all other types of thruster systems. In fact, while other types of thrusters can take days to install and should only be done by a professional, our revolutionary design will normally take you only hours to complete, saving you thousands of dollars in installation costs.  And your boat can often be back on the water the same day!

The ST340 Stern Thruster from Sideshift is perfect for boats up to 40' in length; the unit mounts to the underside of a horizontal surface like a swim platform, or to a vertical surface such as a transom. No tunnel or motor inside the hull is required. All mounting holes are above the waterline. Mounting to a vertical surface like a transom can easily be done with the optional Stern Mounting Bracket. Providing an immediate response with its powerful water cooled 12V motor, the heavy-duty 8″ aluminum propellers quickly pull the boat quietly and smoothly. Saltwater proven, the thruster is anode protected and finished in acrylic enamel paint over epoxy primer to prevent corrosion.

And for boats with existing bow thrusters, you can add our dual wireless joystick option for easy single-handed operation of both thrusters,  providing true 360 degree control in any situation.
