Sideshift SS Series - Model Types

SIDESHIFT INSTALLATION GUIDE V2.7
3
MODEL TYPES
There are two basic types of Sideshift thruster systems covered in this manual:
fixed-mount bow thrusters and fixed-mount stern thrusters.
Electrical connections and controls for both types are similar, however placement
and mechanical attachment details vary between the two types of thrusters.
Our SS/ST series thrusters do not retract or deploy. They are permanently fixed to
the boat and rise out of the water when the boat planes, creating no drag. They also
work well on displacement type hulls and will create no noticeable drag, nor will they
affect handling.
