Lewmar 185TT Gen 2 — 12V Bow Thruster, 6.0kW
When you need serious thrust, the Lewmar 185TT Gen 2 delivers. This is a high-output 6.0kW, 12-volt bow thruster built for larger vessels where precise lateral control isn’t optional — it’s essential. The Gen 2 platform brings refined electronics and drivetrain efficiency to one of the most capable thrusters in the Lewmar lineup.
Key Features
- Sealed, reservoir-free design — no hydraulic fluid, no leaks, no routine maintenance
- High-integrity motor seal engineered for demanding saltwater and freshwater conditions
- Black box electronics module protects the motor from overload and voltage irregularities
- Hardened spiral bevel gears for maximum efficiency and quiet, smooth power transfer
- Self-resetting thermal protection on all motors — no manual reset after overload
- Plug-together switch connections simplify installation wiring
- Low-profile hub minimizes drag and turbulence at speed
- 5-blade spline-driven propeller delivers equal thrust in both directions
What’s Included
This listing is for the 185TT Gen 2 thruster unit only. A complete installation also requires a control panel, control cable, fuse holder, fuse, and tunnel — all available separately. Contact us if you need help speccing a complete system.
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: Designed for larger powerboats and sailboats typically in the 45–60+ ft range where high thrust output is required for safe single-handed or short-handed docking. The 6.0kW rating demands a robust 12V electrical system — a dedicated high-capacity thruster battery bank is strongly recommended. Confirm tunnel diameter compatibility with the 185TT spec sheet before ordering. This is a unit-only listing; budget for tunnel, cabling, and control panel as separate line items.
