The product many users have been waiting for is finally coming.
Introducing the newly released Y02D Servo Steering Electric Thruster from IFUNGOO — a compact, powerful, and more intelligent electric thruster designed for kayaks, fishing boats, paddle boards, and small watercraft.
For a long time, many customers have asked us the same question: why not develop a servo steering thruster?
The answer is simple: because building a reliable servo steering thruster for real water environments is not easy.
Servo steering brings better control, but it also comes with serious technical challenges. Waterproofing is one of the biggest difficulties. Once water enters the servo system, reliability becomes a major concern. Another major challenge is impact resistance. In real use, a thruster may hit rocks, shallow water, sand, mud, or the shore when beaching or running aground. If the steering structure is not strong enough, the servo can be damaged very easily.
That is why IFUNGOO did not rush to launch this type of product.
Before releasing the Y02D, we went through more than ten, even around twenty rounds of design iterations and testing. We damaged many servos, paid a heavy development cost, and kept improving the structure until the system was strong enough for real outdoor use.
Now, the Y02D is ready.
Fully Sealed Servo Structure for Better Waterproof Protection
For the Y02D, we redesigned the servo protection system from the inside out.
Instead of relying only on the waterproof performance of the servo itself, the Y02D uses a fully sealed servo structure. This helps protect the steering system more effectively and greatly reduces the risk of water-related failure.
For any electric thruster used in kayaks, fishing boats, paddle boards, or other small watercraft, waterproof reliability is not just a feature — it is the foundation of long-term performance.
With this upgraded structure, the Y02D is built to handle demanding water environments with greater confidence.
Reinforced Anti-Impact Beam for Tougher Outdoor Use
The second major upgrade is the brand-new anti-impact beam structure.
The Y02D is equipped with a thick reinforced anti-impact beam designed to protect the steering and thruster assembly when facing underwater impact, beaching, shallow water contact, or accidental collision.
The beam is made with an all-metal construction, and the base also adopts a full metal structure. This stronger design helps reduce the risk of damage during real-world use and gives the Y02D a more durable, professional, and reliable build.
For rental operators, outdoor users, and watercraft brands, this means better durability, lower maintenance pressure, and a stronger product experience for end users.
Servo Steering for More Flexible Water Control
Unlike traditional fixed-direction electric thrusters, the Y02D features an integrated servo steering system. With a steering angle of up to 35 degrees, users can control direction more easily and precisely on the water.
This is especially useful in situations such as docking, fishing, turning in narrow waterways, moving through shallow areas, or adjusting position at low speed.
For kayak and small boat users, better steering means less effort and more confidence. For brands and OEM customers, it creates a clear selling point that users can immediately understand and feel during operation.
450W Power with 10.5kg Maximum Thrust
While upgrading the steering system, the Y02D still keeps the strong performance of the original Y02 platform.
It delivers 450W rated power and maintains the original 10.5kg / 23.15lb maximum thrust, providing reliable propulsion for kayaks, small fishing boats, paddle boards, and lightweight recreational watercraft.
With a reference load of 100kg, the Y02D can reach a maximum speed of approximately 9km/h, making it suitable for cruising, fishing spot movement, lake exploration, and assisted return trips.
Instead of simply adding complexity, the Y02D keeps the core advantages of the Y02 series: strong thrust, compact size, and practical performance.
Excellent Battery Life for Longer Water Adventures
The Y02D also continues the excellent battery life performance of the Y02 series.
For users, longer runtime means more freedom on the water. Whether it is a fishing trip, leisure cruising, rental use, or a long-distance paddle board adventure, battery life directly affects the overall experience.
The Y02D is compatible with multiple battery options, allowing different configurations based on runtime, weight, safety, and cost requirements. This makes it suitable not only for individual users, but also for OEM and ODM projects that need flexible system integration.
Stepless Speed Control for a Smoother Ride
The Y02D supports stepless remote speed control, allowing users to adjust speed smoothly according to water conditions and usage scenarios.
Low speed is ideal for fishing, docking, positioning, and precise maneuvering. Higher speed is suitable for cruising, moving between locations, and faster return trips.
Compared with fixed-speed gear control, stepless adjustment creates a more natural and comfortable driving experience. It makes the thruster feel more refined, more responsive, and easier to control.
IP68 Waterproof Performance and Safety Protection
As a water-use electric thruster, the Y02D is designed with IP68 waterproof protection. It also integrates an emergency switch and fall-off protection function, allowing the system to cut power automatically in unexpected situations.
This provides greater peace of mind for personal users and adds professional value for rental fleets, clubs, and watercraft brands.
Built for Kayaks, Fishing Boats, Paddle Boards, and OEM Watercraft Projects
The Y02D Servo Steering Electric Thruster is suitable for a wide range of lightweight watercraft applications, including electric kayaks, small fishing boats, paddle boards, portable thruster systems, leisure water platforms, and OEM watercraft projects.
For brands looking to upgrade their product line with a smarter electric thruster solution, the Y02D offers a strong combination of compact size, reliable thrust, servo steering control, waterproof protection, anti-impact durability, and flexible battery compatibility.
It helps turn a standard watercraft into a more advanced, user-friendly, and marketable electric product.
Y02D: A Smarter and Tougher Electric Thruster from IFUNGOO
The Y02D is not just another electric thruster. It is the result of repeated testing, structural redesign, and real-world problem solving.
From waterproofing to impact resistance, from servo protection to all-metal reinforcement, IFUNGOO developed the Y02D to solve the key pain points that have held back servo steering thrusters for small watercraft.
With 450W power, 10.5kg maximum thrust, 35-degree servo steering, IP68 waterproof protection, fully sealed servo structure, reinforced anti-impact beam, all-metal construction, stepless speed control, and excellent battery life, the Y02D is built for users who want more than simple forward propulsion.
For customers searching for an electric kayak thruster, servo steering thruster, small boat thruster, paddle board thruster, fishing boat electric thruster, or OEM electric thruster solution, the Y02D Servo Steering Electric Thruster from IFUNGOO is a powerful and reliable choice.
