Keypower "The Driving Force" with the Auger Style Propeller
Bow & Stern Thrusters & Active fin stabilizers & go-home drives
Now offering Thrusters up to 450 hp! "put the power of the high thrust auger style propeller to work for you"
Keypower Thrusters are increasingly becoming standard equipment on today's pleasure and commercial craft, and for good reason. If you have ever struggled with high winds and strong currents, or experienced the frustration on trying to maneuver into a tight slip, the additional leverage provided by a Keypower thruster is like having an extra hand onboard. Keypower thrusters are of rugged design and built to withstand the most severe commercial applications.
Keypower thruster systems offer
- Low maintenance
- Easy installation
- Guaranteed reliability
- High thrust-to-horsepower ratio with our Auger style propeller
The airfoil contoured torpedo shape minimizes resistance to flow and cavitation. This combined with the "high thrust" auger propeller provides high efficiency with equal thrust in both directions. The gear housing contains a matched set of spiral bevel gears custom designed to Keypower specifications for maximum reliability and silent operation.
Duplex stainless steel has been selected for the main shaft because of its unique combination of properties: high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and superior resistance to galling and seizing. And to protect your Keypower thruster from electrolysis, a large replaceable sacrificial zinc is used.
Thrusters combine the highest quality materials and engineering to provide you with years of safer and easier handling.
Thruster package includes:
- Bow thruster with Auger Style propeller and hydraulic drive motor
- Switch box or solenoids mounted on motor (8") D.C. models only
- Main station on/off control with joystick
- Installation hardware
- Propeller removal tool
- Installation instructions
Some say two propellers are better than one. Is this true? The Auger Style high thrust propeller is designed for maximum thrust both port or starboard, Same pitch same diameter with only 1/8 inch propeller tip to tunnel clearance for maximum thrust. Two propellers equals less thrust and more moving parts and gives you higher repair cost in the end.
