Brushless bow thruster, 42kgf thrust force, extended run time.
Our BOW PRO thrusters use proven induction motors without carbon brushes. As a result, the bow thruster motor is maintenance-free and has Endurance Rated* run time! Only the tailpiece and the power circuits require regular maintenance. The induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller. This in-house-engineered motor controller can handle both 12V or 24V board systems, making the new BOW PRO thruster suitable for almost all boats. The combination of built-in over-temp and low-battery protection with the brushless induction motor make the BOW PRO thruster series highly resistant to misuse and making these thrusters ideal for even the most inexperienced boater!
The BOW PRO thruster is controlled by proprietary CAN BUS protocol (digital control). There are two fully-proportional panels available for the thruster series; one basic panel (BPPPA) and one panel with lock-and-hold function for easy docking (BPPJA). BOW PRO thrusters utilize the same propellers and gearboxes as proven in VETUS thrusters for more than 30 years. Upgrading to a boat with an existing thruster to a BOW PRO thruster is easily achieved as the Bow Pro thruster was designed to share tunnel sizes with current VETUS thrusters as well as many other brands.
