About the BOW PRO Boosted – 12/24V Tunnel

Thrust force extended runtime.

At the top of this advanced range of thrusters, VETUS offers the BOW PRO Boosted 42 innovative and significantly different from existing thrusters.

All the features of the phenomenal BOWA series with a bonus.

All BOW PRO Boosted (BOWB) include an exclusive built in
DC-to-DC smart charger function that allows 24 VDC thruster battery banks to be charged by a 12 VDC power supply and
in the case of 48 VDC BOWB, to be charged from an existing 24 VDC power supply.

BOWB thrusters do this through a third charge connection on the thruster.

This charge connection is constantly monitored and is only activated once the voltage level of the charging source reaches a suitable level.

This feature prevents the charging source from being depleted, such as the engine starting bank.

They then boost that input to a higher voltage and regulate it in a smart way to charge the thruster supply bank.

In practice, this means you are able to connect the 24 VDC BOW PRO Boosted with a 12 VDC power supply to charge its battery bank.

The built in smart three stage charging process ensures that the thruster batteries are kept at their optimum level.

There is a third connection on the motor leading current to an internal charger which steps up the voltage from 12 to 24 volts allowing a 12 volt charging source such as the propulsion engine alternator to charge a 24 volt battery bank.

Connecting the BOW PRO Boosted directly to a 24 V power supply is also possible of course.

The built-in charger recharges your battery bank when the thruster is not in use doubling the value of having the BOW PRO Boosted thruster on your boat.

Recommended battery sizes for the BOW PRO Boosted series are slightly larger than advised for conventional DC thrusters to take full advantage of the motor efficiencies and resulting long run-times of these thrusters.

About the BOW PRO Boosted – 24/48V Tunnel

The BOW PRO boosted thruster has not only proven to be highly reliable in service, but is also capable of charging the bow thrusters batteries with its innovative internal charging solution which simplifies and speeds up the installation process.

In practice, this means users can connect the BOWB180 or BOWB210 to a 24V power supply.

The built-in charger recharges your battery when the thruster is not in use, doubling the value of the BOW PRO on board.
