VETUS ignition-protected bow thruster with 55kgf thrust force, suitable for boats between 8.5 and 12.5m in length. 24V version.
Installing an electric bow or stern thruster in a petrol (gasoline)-engined boat can be very dangerous, due to the possibility of the electric motor igniting fuel vapour. In order to eliminate the risk, this special housing will shield the bow or stern thruster from potentially explosive vapour. The housing enables the thruster to comply with the ISO 8846 Marine 'ignition protection' standard. In addition to the standard thruster, the set consists of a watertight (IP65) housing for the electric motor and relays, together with all required seals, electrical connectors and fastening components. An automatic fuse for the control loom is also supplied. This can be reset externally without opening the housing. Both 12 and 24V versions are available. They can also be used as stern thrusters, in combination with the appropriate kit. Because the motor housing is watertight, these sets are also ideal for use where the bow or stern thruster is installed in a wet or humid space.
Thruster SystemsThe presence in about forty countries and the range of over ten thousand different types of hoses, both mandrel built and long length, allow THOR Group to stand as a reliable partner with innovative and patented hoses designed by its own technical office and hoses built according the most important national and international norms.
