Retractable thruster - Easy docking, no drag and less noise

  • Vetus Bow truster 65 kgf
  • Recommended for boatsize 9 -13 meter
  • Tunnel diameter 185 mm
  • Unique propeller blade design minimizes cavitation noise
  • The quietest thruster on the market

A retractable thruster has the following advantages:

  • Optimum forward placement in the bow, while maintaining depth by deployment
  • Less noise and vibration as it is not directly connected to the hull
  • Optimum tunnel length with minimal losses
  • Virtually no marine growth, as there is no light when thruster is in retracted and closed position
  • May be placed in the stern in (both sailing and motor) boats where it is not possible to install a tunnel thruster
  • Less drag as the lid is flush to the hull
  • Small dimensions

Retractable thruster - The new line of retractables VETUS thrusters can be placed in shallow parts of the hull and will not disturb its smooth lines. This low drag solution will make your docking experience easier, faster and just plain more enjoyable.

Even for the more experienced skipper, it can be difficult to manoeuvre the boat in harsh wind conditions and strong currents.

The new VETUS retractable, has some big advantages compared to other options in the market:

  • Patented design (swivel point) - the thruster rotates as one unit
  • Less intricate design, fewer moving parts…… lightweight, simple and robust
  • Optimized tunnel ergonomics: more power, less noise
  • All submerged parts are non-corrosive
  • Childproof safety to prevent accidental operation
  • Automatic deployment and retracting
  • Safety pin protection for lid overload
  • Electronically prepared for communication based on CAN protocol
  • Automatic retracting and switch off after 15 min.
  • Automatic retracting after switching of engine
  • Built-in time lapse device when reversing the direction of rotation Fast deployment/retracting time
  • Unique intelligence to prevent jamming, overload and blocking
