Vetus BOWB385 Motor Controller

VETUS BOWB385 Motor Controller | Precision Control for BOW PRO Boosted Thrusters

Unlock the full potential of your vessel´s maneuvering system with the genuine VETUS BOWB385 Motor Controller, a pinnacle of marine electronic engineering. Designed specifically as the intelligent heart for the VETUS BOW PRO Boosted 385 thruster, this advanced controller ensures you experience unparalleled precision, reliability, and power management during the most critical docking and close-quarters situations. Move beyond simple on/off thruster operation and embrace the confidence that comes with proportional, intuitive control. This unit is the definitive choice for boat owners seeking to replace a damaged controller or upgrade their system to the latest VETUS standard, guaranteeing seamless compatibility and optimal performance.

As one of the most critical marine electronic accessories, this motor controller transforms your thruster´s raw power into finely-tuned movements. The integrated VETUS Boosted technology is a game-changer, allowing for significantly extended runtimes at lower RPMs and providing a controlled power surge when you need it most. This intelligent power regulation not only enhances maneuverability but also protects your investment by preventing system overheating and managing battery consumption efficiently.

Key Benefits:

* Unmatched Docking Precision: Experience true proportional speed control. The BOWB385 allows for minute adjustments in thrust, enabling you to glide into tight slips with surgical accuracy and complete confidence, even in challenging wind or current conditions.
* Extended Operational Runtimes: The innovative "Boosted" feature intelligently manages power, allowing the thruster to run for significantly longer periods without the risk of overheating the electric motor, a common limitation in conventional DC thrusters.
