Vetus Propellers Dock Panel

VETUS Propellers Dock Panel

Experience unparalleled control and confidence when docking with the revolutionary VETUS Propellers Dock Panel. As a premier product in the Electronics and Electrical connections category, this advanced thruster control system is engineered to simplify the most challenging docking and maneuvering situations, transforming a stressful task into a seamless operation. Designed for the modern mariner who demands precision, reliability, and intuitive functionality, this panel is the ultimate upgrade for any vessel equipped with both a bow and stern thruster.

The core benefit of the VETUS Docking Panel lies in its innovative approach to vessel management. This exceptional control panel masterfully combines the functions of twin joysticks into one easy to operate knob. This consolidation allows for single-handed, intuitive control over your boat´s lateral movements. By simply pushing, pulling, or turning the single knob, you can engage the bow and stern thrusters simultaneously or individually, allowing you to move your boat sideways, pivot on its axis, or make fine-tuned adjustments with absolute precision. This eliminates the complexity of coordinating two separate controls, significantly reducing the margin for error and making every docking procedure smoother and safer.

Built for the harsh marine environment, this panel boasts a rugged and durable construction. A key feature is its watertight integrity, rated to IP67 standards. This ensures the internal electronics are completely sealed and protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water, guaranteeing long-lasting performance even when exposed to spray, rain, and high humidity on an open helm or flybridge. The sleek, modern design with a synthetic bezel not only adds a professional touch to your dashboard but is also resistant to UV degradation and corrosion.

Safety is paramount on the water, and the VETUS Docking Panel incorporates a crucial child protection feature. This built-in safety lock prevents accidental or unauthorized activation of the thrusters, providing peace of mind for boat owners, especially those with family and young children aboard. The panel’s versatile electrical design supports both 12V and 24V systems, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of vessels without the need for additional voltage converters.
