Thrustmaster manufactures hydraulic outboard propulsion units for use in brown water applications. Their units include integrated and modular deck-mounted models with 360-degree steering, hydraulic tilt, and optional depth adjustment. Common applications include barges, ferries, dredges, and vessels used for maintenance, construction, and cleanup. The units are self-contained and can be quickly installed to provide maneuverability without requiring modifications to the vessel.

- 2. LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES For over 30 years, Thrustmaster of Texas has been designing, manufacturing and supporting marine propulsion systems for a global network of customers. Thrustmasteristhelargestmanufacturer of marine thrusters in the U.S. Thrustmaster’s propulsion units are manufactured in Houston, TX with a variety of configurations including self- contained and portable deck-mounted propulsion units, thru-hull azimuthing thrusters,Z-drives,waterjets,retractable thrusters and tunnel thrusters in power ranges from 35 to 10,740 hp ( 22 kW to 8 MW ). Special expertise has been developed in designing and manufacturing equip- ment for maneuvering, navigating and positioning of slow-speed marine craft and barges in shallow water. Thousands of Thrustmaster diesel- hydraulic outboard propulsion units are operating all over the world as 360 degree steerable propellers on barges, double ended ferries, dredges, lift boats, maintenance and construction vessels in brown water applications.

T hrustmaster’s Outboard Drives are self-contained, hydraulic propulsion units that can quickly be installed on the deck or transom of any vessel to provide pinpoint maneuverability and propulsion. Freely azimuthing through 360° of steering range, the outboard drives are extremely responsive and ideal for tight quarter maneuvering and positioning applications. The transmission of each thruster is a hydrostatic drive - a smoother, more reliable alternative to mechanical transmissions. In a hydrostatic system, gears, drive shafts, bearings, clutches and other complicated parts are replaced with simple hydraulic hoses and fluid. The hydraulic drive acts as a torque converter providing unlimited propeller speed control while protecting the engine from overloading. The engine runs at constant speed, just like a generator. Full engine torque is available at any propeller speed. The propeller shaft is directly driven by a hydraulic motor in the pod (the lower foot) of the unit. Rotating inertia is limited to the rotor of the hydraulic motor, the propeller shaft and the propeller itself. By virtue of this very low rotating inertia, the hydraulic drive easily absorbs the shock whenever the propeller hits bottom or is blocked by a floating log or other obstruction. The shock is further limited and dampened by pressure compensation and hydraulic reliefs. Thrustmaster’s hydrostatic transmission pump is the powerhouse of the hydraulic system. The engine is directly driving the pump - not the thruster. This pump controls the thruster through infinitely variable displacement. This means the propeller speed can be accurately controlled anywhere between standstill and maximum, both forward and reverse, without altering engine speed. From full forward to full reverse in five seconds. A hydraulic power tilt system capable of elevating the outboard drive assembly through an arc of 90° and on some units even 180° is available as one of the options. This allows instant access for clearing of ropes or logs fouling the propeller. The tilt system incorporates relief valves that allow the outdrive assembly to kick up in the event it encounters a subsurface obstruction or in the case of grounding. An optional hydraulically powered propeller depth adjustment mechanism can vary the propeller depth for light and loaded draft conditions.

- 12. BENEFITFEATURE The hydraulic drive train instantly relieves any transmission overloads Foreign objects ingested by the propeller will not damage the transmission making the thruster extremely resilient and durable. Completely self contained package is equivalent to a fully equipped engine room. Replaces engine room, shaft line, stern tube, propeller/ nozzle, rudder, steering gear and controls all with a single unit. BENEFITFEATURE The hydraulic tilt feature allows elevating the propeller above the waterline. Allows inspections and repairs to be made while the vessel is in the water. If desired, the entire unit may easily be removed from the vessel and repaired separately. BENEFITFEATURE Thrusters use podded design concept. Propeller shaft is directly driven by hydraulic motor in the foot (or pod) of the thruster. High propulsion efficiency, no gear losses. Reliable due to its simplicity & limited number of moving parts. Lateral & torsional critical speeds are far above operating speeds. Runs smooth, no vibration. BENEFITFEATURE Infinitely proportional propeller speed control while engine runs at constant RPM, like a diesel-electric system. Performance better than CPP and better than a diesel-electric system without the need for frequency control drive. Full torque available at any propeller speed. BENEFITFEATURE Mounted on deck with no hull penetrations allowing easy and quick installation while the vessel is in the water. Instantly turn dumb barges into self propelled vessels. Eliminates the need for expensive through-hull construction in shipyard and removes the need for engine alignment, stern tubes, rudders and steering gear. BENEFITFEATURE 360° steering of propeller provides omni-directional thrust for unequaled maneuverability at any vessel speed. Spectacular control of the vessel at slow speed and zero speed, unlike the limited slow speed maneuverability of traditional fixed propeller / rudder designs.
