1. Introduction First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing the XForce Thruster. Engbo AS has for several years supplied Volvo Penta with thrusters, distributed as QL thrusters through Volvo Penta dealers and distributors. In late 2006, Engbo and Volvo Penta agreed that distributing through two channels and brand names would make our thrusters even more available. Together with Engbo anchoring and mooring systems, the thrusters constitute a complete system for manoeuvring and mooring your vessel.
