Overview

The WB230 Stern Thruster has been developed specifically for wakeboats with a horizontal wake-shaping plate for extremely easy mounting requiring no holes below the waterline. The thruster can also be mounted to the boat's transom on models where there is sufficient side clearance.  The mounting position creates zero drag as the thruster rides above water when the boat is on plane, and the unit can be easily installed in only a few hours with no need for an additional battery.

The powerful, water-cooled 12V motor and heavy-duty 8" aluminum propeller provide instant lateral thrust for stress-free docking and open-water maneuvering. The thruster is anode protected and available in three beautiful polychromatic(metal flake) colors to complement the high-end look of any sports boat.
