VETUS EXPANDS BOOSTED SERIES

Vetus has expanded its BOW PRO thruster series, with two new larger Boosted models, the BOWB180 and BOWB210.

The latest models are energy efficient and have longer runtime, utilising features such as heading hold or position keeping.

A third connection on the motor leads the current to an internal charger, stepping up the voltage from 12 volt to 24 volt or 48 volt.

This allows a 12V or 24V charging source, such as the propulsion engine alternator, to charge a 24V or 48V battery bank. The thruster battery bank is charged any time the thruster is not being used.

Vetus has also reintroduced a GRP tunnel kit to convert a BOW PRO to a STERN PRO thruster.

The kit is suitable for most transoms and available in tunnel diameters from 125mm to 400mm to cover the entire BOW PRO range.

Low-noise

An extension kit is available if the openings of the stern thruster are too close to the waterline.

Other new products from Vetus include the BOW18024D bow thruster, the company’s most powerful thruster in a 250mm tunnel that provides 180 kgf on a 24V power supply.

An evolution of the C version, the thruster features innovations such as temperature sensor and a low-noise six-blade propeller. The motor can be rotated in increments of 90° for easy accessibility.

Further benefits include a single lightweight and corrosion resistant synthetic propeller for a homogeneous flow in the thruster tunnel and flexible coupling between the tailpiece and motor for reduced vibrations.

In addition, the DBPPJA combined bow and stern thruster panel for BOW PRO thrusters, designed for easy manoeuvring and simple docking.

By pushing the joystick towards the desired direction, the thrusters will work together and push the boat sideways or spin the boat on its own axis.

The multi-axial joystick can be used to operate the thrusters either individually or simultaneously.
