Since introducing the industry’s first externally mounted bow thruster in 2001, thousands of customers in over forty countries have experienced the Sideshift difference. Does the thought of taking your boat out on the water on a windy day make you feel more stressed out than excited? Are you using your boat less and less because of your fear of docking? You are not alone, and that’s where we can help. When you purchase a bow or stern thruster system from Sideshift, you’re dealing with the industry pioneers behind external thruster technology.

At the heart of it, our mission is to help boaters experience the joy and excitement of a day on the water without the stress of docking. Boating should be about enjoying time with family and friends, and relaxing and having fun – and Sideshift products are all about making that happen. We make safe and stress-free docking easy, affordable and available for virtually any type of boat, in any type of weather condition.

Significantly lower installed cost, more responsive performance, no mounting holes below the waterline, virtually silent operation. These are only a few of the many benefits you receive when choosing a Sideshift thruster system.

THE LEADER IN EXTERNAL THRUSTER TECHNOLOGY Easy Do-It-Yourself Installation Sideshift bow and stern thrusters are a great DIY project, or can be installed by any marine service department or boatyard. No previous experience or special tools are required. Our unique universal mounting system requires no holes below the waterline, eliminating the risk of leaks associated with all other types of thruster systems. In fact, while other brands of thrusters can take days to install and should only be done by a professional, Sideshift thrusters can normally be installed in a few hours, saving you thousands of dollars in installation costs.

Our revolutionary external mounting systems place the thruster further forward, or astern on the boat, creating significant leverage and superior performance over other thruster systems. Powered by heavy-duty water cooled motors with 8” aluminum propellers, our unique prop-in-water design delivers stronger, more immediate performance than conventional tunnel thrusters. In stressful docking situations, seconds count, and Sideshift delivers the performance you need. And since all our products are mounted externally to your hull you will enjoy completely silent operation, without the noise and vibration common to other types of thrusters.

THE LEADER IN EXTERNAL THRUSTER TECHNOLOGY Wireless joystick control All Sideshift thruster systems include our advanced 2.4Ghz wireless joystick controls that greatly simplify installation by eliminating wire-runs through the boat. When installing both bow and stern thrusters, or for boats with existing bow thrusters, you can add our dual wireless joystick option for easy single-handed operation of both thrusters, providing true 360-degree control in any situation. And for total wireless freedom, every Sideshift system includes our remote keyfob allowing easy operation from anywhere on the boat or dock.

World-class quality When you purchase a bow or stern thruster system from Sideshift, you’re dealing with the industry pioneers behind external thruster technology. All our products have been designed and purpose-built for the most extreme weather conditions. Using only the highest quality materials, all our thruster systems are hand-assembled in our state-ofthe-art production facility. And we provide a comprehensive two-year warranty backed up by the most responsive product support team in the industry.
