KP 08E Electric Bow & Stern Thrusters

The KP 08E electric thruster model offers 5 HP with a propeller RPM of 1,200, and requires 12V and 320A to run. The bronze or aluminum propellers offer solid performance and last. They providing tremendous value over time. 

Keypower KP 08E thrusters consist of the thruster, a drive motor, switch box and controls. We can also provide the tubes for the thruster for ease of installation into a hull. And even other components for a complete system.

Based on hydrodynamic fundamentals, the streamlined shape of the housing coupled with the auger style propeller provides maximum thrust per horsepower while maintaining equal thrust in both directions.
Precise control is provided by a proportional thruster control system that can accommodate up to 7 stations onboard.

Keypower thrusters use duplex stainless steel for the main shaft due to its unique combination of properties: high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and superior resistance to galling and seizing. The gear housing contains a matched set of spiral bevel gears that are custom designed to ensure reliability and silent operation. A large, replaceable, sacrificial zinc is used to protect the thrusters from electrolysis.
