Bow Thrusters for Naval Model Making

A bow thruster is a transversal propulsion device built into, or mounted to the bow of a ship or boat to make it more maneuverable. Bow thrusters make docking easier, since they allow to turn the vessel like cargo ships or tugs to port or starboard side, without using the main propulsion mechanism.

The installation of a bow thruster on a scale model brings a great realism when navigating.
