Thrust Pilot®, brings new installation option to the market

Colchester, 22 June 2016, Hush Craft is a new provider of electric & hybrid propulsion solutions to the leisure and commercial market. The team has today agreed the first installation of its Thrust Pilot® (patent pending).

This system is specifically designed for retrofitting on existing vessels and in one pod, built off the boat, the Hush Craft Thrust Pilot® can include power steering, motor, batteries, controls, charger and even a generator for 100% redundancy.

Managing Director Ben Simpson says “the benefits of hybrid and electric propulsion systems are well-known, but our solution will bring these benefits to the end users in a neat package that reduces the cost of installation. Our focus is on minimising intrusive works or modifications inside the vessel by simplifying the installation for retrofit. This also makes it more affordable for the boat owner”. (more…)
