Vetus BOW5512D Bow Thruster 4 Hp 3kw 

The Vetus BOW 5512D Bow Thruster, with 55 kgf of thrust force, is suitable for boats from 27' (8.5m) to 41' (12.5m) in length. 12 Volt DC version.

Thrusters inspire docking confidence and provide a gentle push - that you control - away from or to the dock or seawall. Offers tremendous maneuverability, especially when you're shorthanded or cruising with inexperienced guests.

Features:

  • Single propeller creates less flow disturbance in the tunnel
  • Unique blade design minimizes cavitation noise
  • A strong synthetic propeller eliminates corrosion and reduces weight
  • Flexible coupling between the tailpiece and motor eliminates vibration
  • Streamlined tail piece for optimum flow
  • Equal thrust in either direction
  • High-efficiency motors
  • Easy installation - clear installation and operation instructions
Additional Components Required for Bow Thruster Installation:

  • Tunnel - 150 mm
  • Wiring Harness
  • Control
  • Fuse holder and fuse
  • Dedicated battery bank (optional)
  • Battery Switch
  • Battery Cable

Why You May Need an Ignition Protected Bow Thruster

It is not safe to install a conventional electric bow thruster in the engine room, or compartment containing fuel tanks, of a gasoline-powered boat because gasoline fumes may be ignited by internal sparking in the thruster's motor. To allow safe installation under these conditions, VETUS has developed ignition-protected bow thrusters which include sealed motor housings meeting the ISO 8846 Marine, "ignition protection," standard.
