Pontoon Thrusters
It’s time to shift your thinking about docking a Pontoon boat
With their shallow draft, light weight, and significant windage, pontoon boats are notoriously difficult to handle around a dock or slipway. Add a strong crosswind or current and the task can become a real exercise in frustration, and may even compromise safety with your loved ones and friends.
Perfect for Any Pontoon Boat
Installed easily within a few hours and perfect for either double or triple tube pontoon boats, the powerful single prop motor sits at home under the deck in its rugged, marine grade anodized aluminum housing, ready for use when you need it.
To deploy, simply press the helm-mounted actuator switch and within seconds the PT230 drops down into position, stopping automatically at the perfect depth. From here precision guidance is right at your fingertips with the simple joystick control to quickly move your bow in any direction, regardless of wind or current. Not only does docking become much easier and safer, but you will experience stress-free handling and control in all close quarter situations.
The compact, low profile housing design keeps the PT230 out of harm’s way at all speeds, including wide open throttle. As well, it doesn’t interfere with beaching or trailering your boat.
As an added bonus, the PT230 includes Sideshift’s popular remote control key fob that puts precision control of the thruster in the palm of your hand. Your first mate can now have full control of the bow to secure the lines and avoid any miscommunication.
