Vetus BOWA0304 Motor Controller

VETUS BOWA0304 Motor Controller for BOW PRO Thrusters

Unlock the full potential of your vessel´s maneuvering system with the VETUS BOWA0304 Motor Controller, the intelligent heart of the revolutionary VETUS BOW PRO series bow and stern thrusters. Engineered for precision, reliability, and safety, this advanced controller is the essential component for achieving unparalleled proportional control. Move beyond the limitations of conventional on/off thrusters and experience docking and close-quarters handling with surgical precision and unwavering confidence. As a genuine VETUS accessory within the Electronics category, the BOWA0304 is designed to seamlessly integrate with your thruster and control panels, ensuring flawless communication and optimal performance in the demanding marine environment.

Key Benefits:

* Precision Proportional Control: The BOWA0304 enables fully proportional power output. This allows you to apply the exact amount of thrust needed for any situation, from a gentle nudge to hold your position against a light breeze to full power for combating strong crosswinds. This eliminates the jarring "all or nothing" action of standard thrusters, providing a smoother, more intuitive, and professional handling experience.


* Virtually Unlimited Runtime: When paired with a VETUS BOW PRO thruster, this controller unlocks the series´ signature benefit: extended and even unlimited runtime. The proprietary motor and intelligent control algorithm prevent overheating, allowing you to operate the thruster for as long as your battery bank can supply power, a critical advantage during complex or lengthy docking procedures.

* Seamless & Reliable Integration: Utilizing a modern and robust CAN bus protocol, the BOWA0304 ensures crystal-clear, interference-free communication between the thruster motor, the controller, and your VETUS control panels (such as the DBPPJA double joystick). This digital network simplifies wiring, improves reliability, and provides comprehensive diagnostic feedback.
