360° rotating Azimuth thrusters are used when enhanced maneuverability is required in applications such as dynamic positioning, ship escort, and ship docking services.

Portable Dynamic Positioning

Quick dock-side conversion of any vessel to DP-0 thru DP-3 per any of the major classification societies.

Outboard Propulsion Units

Outboard propulsion units are self-contained thruster packages for main propulsion and positioning of barges, platforms and river craft.

Retractable Thrusters

Thrustmaster retractable thrusters are thru-hull azimuthing thrusters using fixed pitch propellers at variable speed.

Water Jets

Axial flow water jets from 100kW to 6,400 kW available in 15 model sizes to accommodate vessels from 6m to +60m with stainless steel jets supported by electronic controls.

Tunnel Thrusters

Tunnel thrusters for docking, slow speed maneuvering, emergency steering, and station keeping at zero or slow forward speeds.

Portable River Ferry

Turn-key modular package comprised of interlocking barge sections with ramps on both ends, self-contained hydraulic outboard propulsion units, a raised pilot house, and all necessary accessories.

Hybrid Propulsion Systems

Turn-key patented and proven hybrid propulsion packages offering a seamless integration with the vessel. Designs tailed to the vessel size, speed, transit route, and operational profile.

T-Pod Electric Podded Thrusters

Thrustmaster T-Pods are configured with a permanent magnet motor directly driving the propeller shaft in a pod housing.

Floatmaster

Floatmaster is a sister company of Thrustmaster of Texas, Inc., a world recognized designer and manufacturer of marine propulsion systems.

About Us

Thrustmaster Corporate Brochure
Thrustmaster of Texas, Inc. manufactures heavy duty commercial marine propulsion and thrusters. The factory and production of all thrusters is based out of Houston, Texas with a global network of sales offices in Rotterdam, Singapore, China, Dubai, and Brazil. A service office is located in Houma, Louisiana to assist offshore clients.

All thrusters are developed in-house by a complete engineering department for mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and electronic design. Tooling includes machining and measuring equipment, CAD, vessel resistance and propulsion, 3D modeling and ANSYS Finite Element Analysis. The application of modal analysis, stress and strain analysis as well as rotor dynamic analysis of drive trains and transmissions are fundamentals towards the reliability and quality of Thrustmaster’s products.

100 Series Waterjets

The Thrustmaster 100 Series range of waterjets are available in seven model sizes ranging from 100kW to 900kW to accommodate vessels from 6m up to 20m supported by a complete range of electronic controls with joystick docking.

The 100 Series range of waterjets are available with several control system options from simple mechanical systems to sophisticated fully electronic control system options.

The 100 series range of waterjets are designed and rated for continuous commercial heavy-duty use. Their design is the culmination of over 40 years experience in the application, operation and manufacture of waterjets by Thrustmaster.

Impeller Technology
Based upon Thrustmaster’s proven axial flow impeller designs, the 100 series impeller employs a six blade configuration with a longer progressive pitch profile that results in higher thrust throughout the speed range and unrivalled cavitation resistance.

High Thrust Ten Inch Pump
Optimally sized to best suit target engine/s power range and target vessel size and weight envelope. The axial flow pump efficiently converts input power into a high volume jet flow delivering high thrust, more range and more payload with reduced fuel burn.

Split Duct Power Reverse

The split duct-reversing bucket provides excellent high thrust reverse maneuverability. This is power operated by a high force, 12VDC actuator, thereby eliminating hydraulics. Feather light follow up control is achieved through the position sensing control box operated by 33C type cable.

Quick Release Inspection Cover

The Inspection Cover is outboard mounted and simply retained using a spring loaded slide bolt. This means quick release operation requiring no tools, without the risk of flooding. The cover itself is tethered to the waterjet with stainless wire so that is cannot be lost.

Transom Mounting

The unit is installed using Thrustmaster’s proven quick and simple transom mounting method. This results in less intrusion into valuable inboard space, allowing more compact machinery arrangements further aft in the boat. Thrustmaster can also offer compact coupling systems.

The 100 Series waterjets are constructed from strong, corrosion resistant and corrosion compatible materials. The stainless steel impeller is a one-piece casting, housed in a stainless steel liner. The intake ducting, impeller casing, and discharge nozzle complete the pump housing and are all manufactured from aluminium. The steering and reverse ducting are also manufactured from aluminium.

A modular construction is used for simplicity of assembly and ongoing maintenance. This minimizes the need for special tools to remove these components.

The 100 Series waterjets feature single stage axial pump designs, optimized to deliver high volume thrust, superior cavitation resistance, enhanced load-carrying ability together with excellent top speed performance. Each model has a comprehensive range of different impeller types to ensure correct matching to all engine and gearbox combinations.

The 100 Series waterjets can be installed as single, twin or triple jets in fiberglass, aluminium or steel hulls. They can also be supplied as booster jets.
