This GRP bow tunnel is a critical element in achieving optimal performance from your bow thruster system. The material choice, GRP, is renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio and its excellent resistance to the corrosive effects of saltwater, ensuring that the tunnel will maintain its integrity and function over many years of service. The smooth internal surface of the tunnel is designed to promote laminar water flow, which is crucial for maximizing the efficiency of the thruster. By reducing turbulence, the tunnel helps the thruster to move water with less resistance, resulting in more effective thrust generation. This means that your boat will respond more predictably and powerfully when you engage the thruster.

The specific dimensions of this 125mm diameter and 900mm length tunnel are tailored to suit a range of common bow thruster models from Sleipner, ensuring a high degree of compatibility. Proper installation of this tunnel is key to its performance and the overall effectiveness of your thruster system. It is designed to be integrated securely into the hull structure, providing a stable and watertight mounting point for the thruster unit. This not only ensures the longevity of the installation but also contributes to the structural integrity of the boat. By investing in this high-quality GRP bow tunnel, you are ensuring that your bow thruster operates at its peak potential, delivering the enhanced control and maneuverability that modern boaters demand.
