Strauhs outboard thrusters are autonomous propulsion units. The propulsion is integrated into the diesel-hydraulic power unit on a modular skid installed on the deck.
The propeller shaft is directly driven by a hydraulic motor integrated into the lower part of the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available with power ratings from 100HP to 500HP, the units have 360\u00b0 rotation with a tilt system that reaches 90\u00b0 and optional propeller depth adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are ideal propulsions for river ferries, service and maintenance barges, small dredgers, military landing craft, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversion of a barge or unpowered vessel can be done in just a few hours and does not require hull modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engine directly drives the variable displacement hydraulic pump. This means that the propeller speed can be precisely controlled at any point between completely static and maximum, both forward and reverse, without changing the engine speed. From full forward to full reverse in a short time, the engine runs at a constant speed, reducing fatigue, increasing engine life, and reducing fuel consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hydraulic transmission is especially suitable for applications where debris in the water can be a problem. The propeller depth adjustment allows operation in shallow waters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It requires little maintenance and provides years of operation in the harshest environments. Routine maintenance of the outboard propulsion unit does not require disassembly of the unit, as the tilt mechanism allows the unit to be lifted above the waterline. If desired, the entire unit can be easily removed from the vessel and repaired separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hydraulic transmission provides instant relief from overloads caused by impacts, allowing the unit to tilt, protecting the propulsion and minimizing damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
