Peace of Mind for Single Screw Vessels
For Boaters that lose their propulsion and need a way to 'get home'
Easy to engage right from the helm, leave engine failure worries to the Wesmar APU System
WESMAR’s Auxiliary Propulsion Units come in two sizes the APU Model 200 and the APU Model 300. They offer an instant, reliable alternative source of power with minimal maintenance.
Powered by your vessel’s generator or stand-alone engine, the APU allows fuel efficient, continuous operation, giving the ability to bring the boat to port in the event of mechanical failure, and the ability to quietly cruise without
the use of the main engine. Simplicity and practicality are the focus of this
‘get-home’ system.
The compact, rugged design of the APU ensures reliability with robust, corrosion-resistant operation. As with all WESMAR products, the APU is built of the most durable materials and
powder coated to ensure a long life.
System Features
-
Provides continuous propulsion in the event of a main engine failure.
-
Low shift RPM for trolling, maneuvering, and sight-seeing.
-
Quiet operation for late night and early morning departures resulting in minimal disturbances to guests and neighbours.
-
Quiet trolling speeds for fishing.
-
The APU can be a dedicated hydraulic unit, and also fits perfectly with WESMAR’s other hydraulically driven products, which are uniquely designed to improve comfort and control for boaters around the world.

Operates with a helm-mounted safety key lock.
The APU automatically engages from the helm
Complete control from the helm using state-of-theart electronics.
The WESMAR APU systems can be operated right from the bridge by simply turning the key and using the proportional joystick for forward and aft propulsion. Once the system is engaged with the key lock at the helm, it is activated and you are immediately in control and underway. No need to visit the engine room at all.
