NOTE – Please call us to check availability & leadtimes prior to ordering as not all Vetus items are carried in stock.
Bow thruster brushless thrust force extended runtime. Revolutional concept matched with proven technology.
BOW PRO thrusters use proven induction motors without carbon brushes. As a result, the bow thruster motor is maintenance-free and has an endurance rated run-time.
The tail piece and the power circuits need regular maintenance.
The induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller.
This in-house-engineered motor controller can handleboth 12V or 24V board systems making the new BOW PRO thruster suitable for almost all boats.
The built-in over-temp and low battery protection combined with the brushless induction motor make the BOW PRO thruster series highly resistent to abuse and ideal for even the most inexperienced boater.
BOW PRO thruster is controlled by proprietary CANBUS protocol (digital control).
There are two (2) fully-proportional panels available for the thruster series: one basic panel (BPPPA) and one panel with lock-and-hold function for easy docking (BPPJA).
BOW PRO thrusters utilizesame propellers and gearboxes proven in VETUS thrusters for over 30 years.
Upgrading a boat with an existing thruster to a BOW PRO thrust easily accommodated as the Bow Pro thruster was made to share tunnel sizes with current VETUS thrusters as well as many other brands.
The increasing popularity of environmentally friendly boats with 48 VDC electric propulsion required the development of thrusters running at the same voltage, and these BOW PROs are designed to meet that need.
The 48 VDC BOW PRO thrusters offers all the advantages of the standard BOW PRO; available in several propeller and tunnel diameters and are more than powerful enough to
turn your runabout in the desired direction.
HIGHLIGHTS
- A range of smaller thrusters with thrust outputs ranging from 30 kgf to 76 kgf.
