ST350D Dual Stern Thruster
The ST350D Dual Stern Thruster System is perfect for larger yachts up to 70'
in length, and for houseboats up to 90' in length; The ST350D is essentially two
ST350 stern thrusters mounted to the port and starboard-side transom for strong
balanced power in any docking situation. The units can also be mounted to the
underside of a horizontal surface like a swim platform in cases where there are
mounting obstacles on the transom.
The thrusters are controlled through a single wireless helm-mounted joystick
or Sideshift wireless keyfob. No tunnel or motor inside the hull is required.
All mounting holes are above the waterline. Providing an immediate response with
our powerful water cooled 24V motors, the heavy-duty aluminum propellers quickly
pull the boat into position with zero noise or vibration.
Saltwater proven, the rugged aluminum and stainless steel thrusters are anode
protected and finished with anti-foul paint over epoxy primer to prevent
corrosion.

Bow & Stern Thruster Installation Manual
Our thrusters mount easily using our unique, universal mounting system.
Virtually any V-shaped bow, pontoon or stern can be accommodated.
And, to make things even simpler, our thruster systems now come standard with
our wireless joystick technology. The included wireless joystick control offers
simple plug and play for the helm-to-motor controller connection, eliminating
the hassle of long wire-runs, and shaving hours off installation time.
Installing a Sideshift bow and stern thruster is so easy that you can do it
yourself in less than a day. Other thruster systems can cost thousands of
dollars to install and take up to a week to complete. Not Sideshift! Just follow
the on-line video and easy, step-by-step instructions that are included with
every kit to get your boat out on the water faster. And we’re always available
to provide phone support if any questions come up.
Local Installers
Or, if you aren’t comfortable installing a Sideshift thruster yourself, you
can take it to your local marina or boatyard to let the professionals handle it.
Unlike tunnel thrusters which can cost thousands of dollars to install,
Sideshift thrusters can be installed for as little as $800-$1,200. Our thrusters
have been specifically designed for easy installation by any marine mechanic,
and as always, we’re available to speak with your installer if there are any
questions.
