Enhance your vessel's bow control with the VETUS BOW4512D Bow Thruster, a compact, high-thrust 12 V system engineered for precise docking and maneuvering. Delivering 45 kgf of thrust from a 3 kW motor through a 125 mm tunnel, it powers smooth, confident handling in tight spaces.
The thruster features a unique propeller blade design that minimizes cavitation noise, delivering quieter operation on every voyage. A flexible coupling between the tail piece and motor eliminates vibration for steadier control, while a streamlined tail piece maximizes flow and efficiency.
Installation is straightforward with included clear instructions. All VETUS systems use a high-quality aluminium control panel line that is interchangeable with older panels, protecting your investment as you upgrade.
Built to resist marine environments, the corrosion-resistant synthetic propeller reduces weight and extends life. The entire system complies with EMC requirements for reliable electrical performance aboard.
