ABSTRACT:
An outboard thruster for use in maneuvering a marine vessel at low speeds, particularly during docking or fishing operations. The apparatus includes a motor-propeller unit which is normally stowed aboard a vessel. The motor-propeller unit is lowered into a submerged position adjacent and outboard the vessel's bow to effect slow speed maneuvering of such vessel. When submerged, the direction of thrust produced by the motor-propeller unit can be controlled.
