"The Vortex is one of the most powerful thrusters we've installed, and even with the added power it seems to be quieter than normal"
- Greg Allen, Northwest Yacht Repair
"We installed the new Vortex on a 65-foot Hatteras” . . . “It performed
perfectly, with power that was crushing the fenders during trails."
- Joe LaFauci, Cable Marine
"The Vortex is the first bow thruster I've seen with the power to throw
a rooster tail." - John Kennybrook, Cable Marine
"We've installed WESMAR thrusters for years and we're sold on them
because they give us virtually no problems. We put a 12"
counter-rotating dual prop Vortex system on the 57-foot MY Perfetto and
the owner is very happy. He says he gets '16 knots sideways.' I
recommend them." - Ray Young, Vic Franks Boat Company
“Other thrusters are like toys compared to WESMAR” . . . "WESMAR is well
crafted and highly machined. They are beautiful thrusters” - Jim Monroe,
Manager YEP, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl
“The WESMAR bow thruster works great.” “Thrust on the older unit was 120
pounds. With the Vortex model, we have 330 pounds of thrust. WESMAR
should advertise the thrust! It’s impressive.” - Richard Chew, Cape Coral,
Florida, Owner ‘Avalon’ - 42 foot 1984 classic Krogan.
“The bow thruster has greatly enhanced the maneuverability of the tug,
allowing us to bid on jobs requiring close quarters handling and
precision moves.” - Captain Latham Smith, owner of Smith Maritime.
"We routinely specify them now, and if the boats have a bow thruster it
will be a WESMAR, because the WESMAR offers a lot more thrust.” - Doug Shupe, chief purchasing agent, SkipperLiner
“We like our bow thruster very much. We were concerned as to whether the
electric unit would have the power necessary for this boat, but we are
very pleased. I’m impressed with the construction on WESMAR’s thruster.
It is heavier and more rugged than competitors I’ve seen. The install
was smooth.” - Chuck Spriggs, 60 foot DeFever, Turtle II
"Installing the WESMAR Vortex was easy and performance was excellent. We
recently installed it on a SeaRay 550 Sedan. During trials it responded
quickly and snapped the bow immediately." - Paul Waite, Puget Sound
Yachts
"The new Vortex works wonderfully. It definitely feels like it has more
thrust and much more power." - Patrick Flannery, Burr Yacht Sales
"We pulled into our slip recently fighting nasty 40 mph winds. With the
WESMAR Vortex, there was no anxiety about docking." - Branch Hendrix,
Owner, MY Too Many Options (55 SeaRay Sedan)

The new WESMAR
thruster [with DC PRO Motor] made a believer out of me. It has more than
enough power and more importantly can be used indefinitely -- no 20 or
30 second run time limits." - Capt. Joe O'Steen
"The DC PRO is a very
nice, high quality piece of gear." - Bill Hartse, Hartse
Marine
“We even used the
existing tunnel and prop and only had to replace the joystick and put in
the new 23-HP motor. We didn’t even have to pull the boat.” -
Captain Craig Rutkae

“My wife and I spend the
winters on the yacht cruising…we’ve traveled in a lot of 6 to 8-foot
seas and they can get to 12-foot on the beam with water on the side
deck…It’s incredible how the stabilizers flatten out the boat…The
performance is really amazing…(This Boat) Now Drives Like a Car” -
Hans Leerink, Owner, 48 Foot Hatteras Long-Range Cruiser MV Dutch Master
“The boat is a tall
trawler that rolled like a barrel before the stabilizers were installed.
That has all changed now. Instead of everything hopping around, we cross
smoothly, taking the 4 to 6 foot beam swells in total comfort...This is
a totally different boat with the stabilizers” - Larry Roff
"Stabilizers greatly
improve the ride and the experience. Without the stabilizers we would
just take things off the shelves, hold on, and grab our glasses. With
the stabilizers that problem is gone.” - Richard Chew, Cape Coral,
Florida, Owner ‘Avalon’ - 42 foot 1984 classic Krogan
“No one wanted to sell me
an upgrade package. And before talking to WESMAR the cheapest quote I
got was $26,000. I saved over half with the WESMAR retrofit package...It
is unbelievable; amazing…other manufacturers will only sell you a
complete new stabilizer system. The retrofit package from WESMAR is
definitely the way to go…I can tell you, once your wife has been on a
boat with this stabilizer system she won’t ride without them.” - Pee
Wee Erlbacher
“When WESMAR says the
stabilizer is pre-set, you can take their word for it.” - Joe Lafauci,
Cable Marine, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

“We entered port
with 8,000 kilos of anchovy - pure gold. Our catch paid for the
sonar in just 25 hours of fishing…I was astonished at the
quality of this sonar” - Carlos Berasarte of Guipuzeoa, Spain
“Our WESMAR HD800
(110 kHz unit) makes fishing a lot easier…I have used several
other sonars, and the WESMAR unit is definitely superior. The
system simply has better detection capabilities. It picks up
every available target. If something is down there, (WESMAR)
sees it.” - Dave Irvine
“I caught 10,000
sockeye in one set…Our WESMAR sonar paid for itself in one
day…We never would have even seen the school without the
sonar…Our boat ended up with more than 16,000 pieces, for a
total of 97,000 pounds of salmon…WESMAR made our season in one
day.” - Nick Brajcich, veteran Canadian herring and salmon
seiner
“If I could
recommend any type of fishing equipment to a person, it would be
the WESMAR sonar.” - Debbie Hyman, Owner Reel Eggsperience
“The definition
of the HD800 is excellent. It can detect fish when the onboard
echo sounder cannot. It can even detect fish ahead of the boat…I
am currently building another pair of trawlers. Of course they
will have WESMAR sonar onboard. It helps me pay for my new
vessels faster!” - Mr. Wang Guo Xi, Fleet Manager, Dalian
Kairun Fishing Company Ltd.
“The WESMAR sonar
offers us the chance to catch fish we wouldn’t be able to
because we wouldn’t see them…The HD800 is the fastest unit I
have ever seen and the resolution is fabulous…We now have WESMAR
sonars on four separate boats…We have been upgrading as the
technology continues to advance because our captains have
experienced so much success.” - Doug Ferrell
“Seventy percent
of the blue fin we catch are found with WESMAR sonar.” –
Lance Withee, Owner/Operator Sportfisher M/V Vagabond
“The features and
definition of the HD800 is better than all other sonars I have
known. At this rate I will be able to pay for my vessel very
soon.” - Pui Kia

Twelve
captains were given the TCS770 to test in
the toughest conditions . . .the Bearing Sea!
Here's what some of them had to say:
"The TCS770 is
way better than my old system. I can do it all: look forward,
profile the net, and run the down sounder." - Captain Brian
Styke, The Arctic Storm
"The TCS770 is
working great. My favorite screen is where you profile the net
and have the down sounder running all the time." - Captain
Glenn Thill, The Highland Light
"You'll have to
pry it out of my hands." - Captain Ray Moe, The Northern
Glacier
"My favorite
screen when Cod fishing is #6. Net profile on top, down sounder
below. I adjust the zoom window down to the footrope. This gives
me a close view of what's going in." - Captain Corky Decker,
The Rebecca Irene
"The net profile
picture is fantastic, scanning forward it is easy to spot my
wings and doors." - Mate Gate Stephens, The Northern Glacier
"Screens 5 and 7
have become the screens of favor for me. The other day we were
able to see some 4 fathom stacks at 200 fathoms ahead and get
them in." - Captain Jack Bronson, The Great Pacific
"When Cod
fishing, we use split screen, net profile with down sounder and
the zoom window. It's great!" - Captain Dan Skauge, The
Unimak

Richest
American Treasure Found with
a WESMAR Side Scan Sonar!
When
the SS Brother Jonathan, a wooden-hulled paddle steamer sank off
the coast of Crescent City, CA in 1865, it was carrying among
it's precious cargo 250 passengers and 1,207 gold coins.
After three years of searching, using other side scan systems
and sophisticated measuring devices, it took WESMAR Side Scan
Sonar only 11.5 minutes to resolve the question
of where the wreck resided.
"The WESMAR image was so clear we could see the stern, the
paddle hubs and could even see the damage from the sinking,"
said James Wadsley, principal in Deep Sea Research LLC.
"WESMAR's Side Scan Sonar is lightweight and inexpensive in
comparison to some of the equipment we tried...it can't be
beat."
