What is the difference between a Right Angle thruster and an In-Line thruster?
The Right Angle thruster provides additional flexibility in selecting the power input to the thruster, either hydraulic or AC electric depending on the owners preferences and what is most economical and efficient for the vessel. In-Line thrusters are hydraulic only and feature an extremely compact arrangement that saves in-board space at the tunnel location and reduces mechanical components to nil. The only items on the outside of the tunnel are the hydraulic connections themselves, allowing the installer additional flexibility in thruster positioning. In-Line thrusters are easier to maintain and save weight.
