Vetus BOWB300 Motor Controller

VETUS BOWB300 Motor Controller for Proportional Thrusters

Category: Electronics
Subcategory: Accessories

Unlock the full potential of your vessel´s maneuvering system with the VETUS BOWB300 Motor Controller, the intelligent heart of your proportional bow or stern thruster. Designed for boaters who demand absolute precision and reliability, this advanced controller transforms challenging docking and tight-quarter navigation into a smooth, intuitive, and stress-free experience. Move beyond the limitations of standard on/off thrusters and gain complete, variable command over your boat´s lateral movement.

The VETUS BOWB300 is engineered specifically for seamless integration with VETUS 300 kgf bow and stern thrusters, creating a fully proportional system. This means the thrust output is directly proportional to the movement of your joystick. A slight touch delivers a gentle nudge, while a full push unleashes the thruster´s maximum power. This granular control allows for exceptionally precise adjustments, preventing abrupt movements and ensuring you can position your vessel perfectly against the dock or in a crowded marina, even in challenging wind or current conditions.

Built for the rigors of the marine environment, this unit is one of the most robust and dependable motor controllers on the market. It features a comprehensive suite of built-in safety protocols to protect your investment and ensure safe operation at all times. The system actively monitors for over-temperature and overload conditions, automatically regulating power to prevent damage to the motor. Furthermore, its low battery voltage protection ensures the controller and thruster operate within safe electrical parameters, safeguarding your entire DC system. With its ignition-protected design, it meets stringent safety standards for use on gasoline-powered boats.

Key Benefits:

* Unparalleled Maneuvering Precision: Achieve fluid, variable speed control for effortless and accurate docking, mooring, and close-quarters navigation.
* Extended Thruster Runtime: The intelligent control system prevents motor overheating, allowing for significantly longer continuous operation compared to conventional thruster systems.
