Sideshift
Advantage
We take the stress out of docking your boat
Are you docking like a pro, or acting as the shore entertainment?
Does the thought of taking your boat out on the water on a windy day make you feel more stressed out than excited?
You are not alone.
Docking can be one of the most stressful experiences you will face as a boat owner. Worrying about damaging your boat or your neighbours boat can turn a beautiful day on the water into a stressful nightmare.
That’s where Sideshift can help.
Most of our customers purchase a Sideshift thruster system for one or more of the following reasons:
-
I want to be able to dock my boat with confidence:Slips are getting tighter, and there are times when the wind just won’t cooperate.
-
I want to be able to dock in any condition:
Windy conditions make docking too unsafe for me to manage on my own or with my spouse.
-
I want to stop worrying about damaging my boat and my neighbour’s boat:
Our boats are major investments and I don’t want to risk damage every time I want to go out on the water.
-
I want my boating experience to be fun, including docking:
Boating is fun, but docking is stressful and I’m tired of the anxiety that comes with docking in difficult conditions.
-
I want to feel confident when I explore new places:
I bought my boat so that I could explore new waters, but I need more precise control to navigate unknown marinas, locks and docks with confidence.
-
I want to trust my kids to use my boat without causing damage when they dock:
I bought my boat so that my whole family could enjoy it, but I don't trust their docking skills without thrusters.
Do any of these points hit close to home?
Then a Sideshift thruster system might be the perfect solution for you.
I have a stern thruster and love it. It works perfectly and is very helpful in docking with my single screw boat. Customer service was great and the install quite straight forward. The online videos were helpful.
Had both bow and stern thruster installed and they work perfectly. Makes docking a joy with no stress. Won’t have a boat without Sideshift. It makes boating fun.
Installation was very straightforward with easy to follow instructions. Wow! It has made a world of difference in my ability to dock even with wind and current. It's great to have control of the bow. I would recommend Sideshift to any one who owns a boat.
Excellent from start to finish. Sideshift is first class. Life is so much easier and there is no panic when it come to docking. I have recommended Sideshift to everyone I know that has a boat.
Really smooth experience with very good and quick responses to my questions. Everything was included in the kit and the installation instruction made installing itself a quite easy process - all done in one day.
Ultimate Control
No matter what weather you’re in, Sideshift is there to help guide your boat home safely and easily, every time. Our pivot point advantage and unique prop-in-water design deliver stronger, more immediate performance than conventional tunnel thrusters. In stressful docking situations, seconds count, and Sideshift delivers the performance you need.

Instant response
Sideshift thrusters’ external mounting position places our 8” aluminum propellers in direct contact with the water, providing instant response when seconds count. Conventional tunnel thrusters move water through a tube or “tunnel” to provide the required thrust momentum, which can delay response and waste valuable seconds in a critical docking situation. In addition, our external mounting system places the thruster further forward, or astern on the boat. This provides a pivot-point advantage and more immediate response.
