Vetus Bow Pro Thruster - BOWA0651

Item # 886963

Description

Vetus Bow Pro Thruster is a combination of the renowned electric bow thruster series and the quiet RimDrive and earned the prestigious Innovation Award at the 2018 Miami Boat Show from the National Marine Manufacturers Association.

Its proven induction technology makes the use of carbon brushes obsolete. As a result, the bow thruster is extremely quiet and has indefinite run-time! The induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller. This in-house-engineered motor controller can handle both 12V and 24V applications, making the new bow thruster suitable for almost all boats!

The Bow Pro thruster is controlled by a proprietary CANBUS protocol. There are two different panels available for this thruster; one fully-proportional basic panel and one fully-proportional panel with lock-function. This allows the boat to be "moored" without the use of ropes. Letting passengers board your vessel has never been this easy! In addition, retrofitting a Bow Pro thruster is easy as the new motor is interchangeable with the tailpiece and flange of the Vetus range of thrusters.

The size of your battery bank is the only limitation
