Vetus Polyester Stern Tube 20 m

VETUS Polyester Stern Tube | 2000mm Length for 40mm Shaft

Upgrade your vessel´s propulsion system with the VETUS Polyester Stern Tube, an innovative and highly durable solution designed for superior performance and longevity in the demanding marine environment. Engineered for both new boat construction and refitting projects, this stern tube assembly from VETUS, a world leader in marine systems, offers a modern alternative to traditional bronze or steel tubes, eliminating common issues while enhancing your boating experience. It is a critical component within your boat´s plumbing and propulsion equipment, ensuring a reliable and efficient transfer of power from the engine to the propeller.

The primary advantage of the VETUS system lies in its construction. Made from high-strength, glass fibre reinforced polyester, this stern tube is completely impervious to corrosion and electrolysis. This eliminates the need for a separate anode and guarantees a long, maintenance-free service life, saving you time and money on costly repairs and replacements associated with metal degradation. Its lightweight yet robust nature makes it an ideal choice for GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) hulls, where it can be seamlessly laminated into the hull structure. This installation method creates an incredibly strong, permanent, and watertight bond, far superior to mechanically fastened alternatives.

Experience a quieter and smoother ride thanks to the exceptional noise and vibration-damping properties of the polyester material, combined with the pre-installed, high-quality rubber bearing. This integrated system is designed to absorb vibrations from the propeller shaft, significantly reducing onboard noise for a more comfortable and peaceful journey. The system operates on a water-lubricated principle, using the surrounding water to cool and lubricate the propeller shaft. This eco-friendly design requires no grease, eliminating the risk of pollutants and simplifying your maintenance routine.
