Maximum maneuverability and operational efficiency translates directly into increased profitabil- ity. That's why—especially in today's economic and fuel con- scious times—it's important for you to rely on the proven perfor- mance and dependability of Michigan-Jastram Bow Thrusters. X Whether your ship is running at slow speed, with minimal rudder response; being han- dled by a tug-boat; or maintaining its station, generating transverse thrust helps to attain maximum maneu- verability. Therefore, for optimum safety and handling capability, Michigan-Jastram Bow Thrusters are a sound, logical investment. Michigan-Jastram Thrusters are delivered with the gearcase and propeller completely installed. To further ease installation, Michigan-Jastram Bow Thrusters can be delivered with full length tunnels. Once installed in the hull, elemental connections to the thruster's prime mover com- pletes installation. The bow thruster gear and propeller can be removed for service within the tunnel. Because few companies can offer the expertise of our technical and manufacturing staff, or a more efficient distribution and service network, shouldn't your most logical choice for the ultimate in maneuverability systems be a Michigan-Jastram Bow Thruster? We think so, too.
