Description

Quick BTQ DC Thrusters

The Quick BTQ range bow thrusters composed of sturdy composite material. Length recommended boat 5-7.5 m (16-25 ft). Some additional features of this unit are the solenoid is protected by a sturdy composite material, the gearbox is composed of bronze, the zinc anode is independent of the gearbox which allows an easy replacement and it is also equipped with an elastic coupling

A thruster is simply a propulsion device located at the bow or stern that provides lateral (port and starboard) thrust, making the vessel more manoeuvrable. Bow and stern thrusters often come as standard equipment on newer pleasure boats over 45 feet, but almost any midsize vessel can be retrofitted

The BTQ Gearbox is created so that the behaviour of the propeller is unaffected in either direction. The conical gears that make up the gearbox are reinforced and adjusted to ensure maximum efficiency. Maintenance is not required since the special highly resistant components guarantee a perfect lubrication seal for life. The anodic zinc protection is easily replaceable
The bronze propeller gearleg is provided with a hydrodynamic profile that minimizes turbulence

The 4-blade Propeller guarantees maximum thrust performance and reduction in current absorption. This is made of composite materials, resistant in every condition, and fastened with self-locking nuts in stainless steel

The case that protects the reversing contactors is made of robust composite materials that are resistant to corrosion. The electrical connections are provided with quick connectors

The BTQ elastic joint that optimizes the alignment between motor and gearbox is an exclusive QUICK design. This acts as an even tension device, preserving the operating system from impulses from the bow thruster, with above-average results

The BTQ motors new-generation materials have been chosen to constantly guarantee required output and maximum performance, given the severe conditions required by the application. Protection against overheating of the motor is ensured by a microprocessor

The BTQ support flange is completely in hard-cote anodized aluminium

In 1982 Michele Marzucco, together with his business partner Alfonso Peduto, started his experience in the nautical sector at the Comar shipyard, which was renewed for Comet products.

This operating structure has allowed Quick Spa to raise products’ quality, providing custom products meeting different customers’ needs, to create new articles according to customer-specific requests and boast with the entirety of the products made in Italy.
CATT is characterized by CAD-CAM design stations, several last-generation CNC centres, lathes and precision equipment.

Since 2006 Quick Spa has been in the United States as Quick USA INC, which develops commercial and technical assistance activities for the USA. Quick Spa is also present in the UK with Quick UK, founded in 2018.

In 2018 Quick Spa achieved a turnover of 35 million euros and in 2019 it expects a positive trend, equal to approximately 12%. The company has more than 200 employees, of which 160 are in the Italian headquarters.

In the following years Quick Spa expanded its business acquiring Scotti, a well-known company specialized in marine lighting founded in 1945, and CATT, a company with over 20 years of experience in mechanical processing and plastic manufacturing.

Then in 2007, Quick Spa acquired Sigmar Marine SRL, specialized in water heaters.

Finally, in 2016 with the latest acquisition of Item Mare business unit, MC2 Marecalmo brand and its know-how, Quick Spa transferred the gyroscopic stabilizers production to its facilities and applied technical improvements to provide greater efficiency and reliability.

They result to be compact, easy to install and the maintenance can be performed on board.
MC2 Quick Gyro stabilizers, developed by Quick, are equipped with a mass revolving on a horizontal axis.
A peculiarity that reduces significantly mechanical stress, produces less friction and therefore needs lower heat output.
The system is air-cooled; therefore, it does not require water pumps or seawater inlets, like the water-cooled systems do.
