Vetus BOWB130 Motor Controller

VETUS BOWB130 Motor Controller | Precision Proportional Thruster Control

Experience the pinnacle of vessel maneuverability with the VETUS BOWB130 Motor Controller, the intelligent heart of the revolutionary VETUS BOW PRO series of bow and stern thrusters. Designed for discerning boat owners who demand absolute precision and reliability, this advanced electronic unit transforms docking and close-quarters navigation from a stressful challenge into a seamless, intuitive operation. As a core component in the Accessories subcategory for marine Electronics, the BOWB130 controller unlocks the full potential of your proportional thruster system, providing unparalleled command over your vessel´s movements.

The primary benefit of the BOWB130 is its ability to deliver fully proportional power. Unlike conventional on/off thruster systems that provide an abrupt, full-power burst, this controller allows you to apply the exact amount of thrust required for any situation. Gently nudge your boat into a tight slip, hold your position against a crosswind with minimal power, or apply full force when needed—all with smooth, variable speed control. This precision significantly reduces the stress of docking and enhances safety for both your vessel and surrounding property.

Engineered for the harsh marine environment, the VETUS BOWB130 is built with robust components and features a suite of intelligent protection systems. It continuously monitors motor temperature and battery voltage, automatically safeguarding the thruster motor from overheating and preventing damage from low power conditions. This smart protection, combined with the efficiency of the BOW PRO´s brushless motor, enables virtually unlimited runtimes, a significant advantage over traditional DC thrusters that are limited to just a few minutes of continuous use.

Key Benefits:

* Unparalleled Docking Precision: Proportional control allows for subtle, precise adjustments, giving you the confidence to navigate the tightest marinas with ease.
* Enhanced Safety and Reliability: Features built-in protection against over-temperature and low battery voltage, preserving the longevity of your entire thruster system.
