Master tight marinas and challenging crosswinds with absolute confidence. The VETUS DC 55kgf Bow Propeller is a powerful 24V steering solution engineered for precision, reliability, and quiet operation. Specifically designed for boats ranging from 8.5 to 12.5 metres , this bow thruster provides the crucial lateral thrust needed for effortless docking, casting off, and close-quarters manoeuvring. Eliminate the stress of difficult berthing situations and gain complete control over your vessel, regardless of wind or current conditions. With VETUS, you command your boat with pinpoint accuracy, making every arrival and departure a smooth, seamless experience.

Experience Quiet Power and Unmatched Efficiency

VETUS sets the standard for marine manoeuvring systems by focusing on superior performance and minimal noise. This bow thruster´s design is a testament to that commitment. The innovative use of a single, uniquely shaped propeller creates a more streamlined and efficient water flow within the tunnel, minimizing turbulence and maximizing effective thrust. This advanced propeller blade design is a key feature, as it significantly reduces cavitation noise, resulting in whisper-quiet operation that won´t disturb the peace of the marina. Furthermore, all VETUS systems feature a streamlined tail piece, which optimizes the flow dynamics for superior efficiency and performance when you need it most.

Built for Durability and Silent Operation

Engineered for the demanding marine environment, the VETUS bow thruster is built to last. It features a strong, yet lightweight, synthetic propeller that completely eliminates the risk of corrosion and galvanic degradation. A critical advantage of the VETUS design is the integration of a flexible coupling between the tail piece and the electric motor. This ingenious component effectively absorbs and isolates vibrations, ensuring a remarkably silent and smooth transfer of power. This focus on eliminating vibration not only contributes to the quiet performance but also enhances the longevity of the entire system. All VETUS manoeuvring systems are rigorously tested to meet stringent EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) requirements, ensuring they operate flawlessly without interfering with other onboard electronics.

Seamless Integration and User-Friendly Control

Installation is made straightforward with a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manual for both installation and operation. VETUS ensures that upgrading your vessel is a hassle-free process. The system is designed to be paired with a new line of high-quality aluminium control panels, which offer a sleek, modern aesthetic and intuitive control. For those upgrading older systems, these new panels are fully interchangeable, providing an easy path to modern functionality and style.
