Steering a commercial boat or large yacht can be similar to driving a heavy car with bad brakes. It’s difficult to stop, and response to the rudder is slow. This poses no problem in the open sea, but it can be real challenge to maneuver the vessel in a congested marina or when docking. This is where a bow thruster comes in. A bow thruster consists of an open-ended tube that runs through the underwater sections of the hull near the bow and perpendicular to the keel. A propeller mounted at some point inside this tube can rotate in either direction. The helmsman selects the rotational direction and actuates the propeller.  As a result, the bow thruster sucks a solid stream of water in one end of the tube and forces it out of the other, pushing the bow sideways and augmenting the rudder to make steering more responsive. Two Props are better than one Traditional single propeller systems generate thrust by accelerating water in the axis of the propeller shaft. However, the water discharged by the propeller also rotates. This is due, in part, to the friction between the surface of the propeller and the water. This rotational component does not produce thrust, but it does consume energy. That’s why Fred Knowles of Hansen Marine, Marblehead, Mass., like the ABT-TRAC thruster from American Bow Thruster, Rohnert Park, Cal. The ABT-TRAC thruster is designed with two counter-rotating propellers. By turning the propellers in opposite directions, the efficiency of the

Fishing for Salmon in Alaska’s Bristol Bay can be a challenge all by itself. This area is a Sport Fisher-man’s paradise so the area is filled with commercial as well as pleasure fishing boats during the season. Being able to maneuver fast in these waters is a plus. Steve Tutt has owned many Jet Propulsion fishing boats and has made a name for himself in this area of the world. Steve has found that Jet Propulsion fishing boats idea for the conditions found in the Bay. One thing Steve found out that fishing in crowded waters can be a bit of an issue with Jet Propulsion. Controlling the Jet Boat and nets in neutral position can be a problem since the boat tends to circle. It would be easy to snag a line or another fisherman’s net. Steve began looking for solutions to see what could be done.   His efforts first lead him to the option of retrofit-ting one of his boats with a Marine Gear. Although possible the cost would be in the 6K to 8K range plus the cost to retrofit. Besides that the weight to Horsepower ratio would be affected by this change. Not a good solution. Both of these issues did not make this option appealing since he was looking at changing 5 to 6 vessels. Steve also looked at mechanical options but none would give him the flexibility to control everything from the boats wheelhouse. Steve then began looking at the Bell Housing Logan Clutch option for a solution. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 19.0px 0.0px; line-height: 10.5px; font: 11.0px Helv
