Vetus BOW PRO Brushless Thruster - 36 kgf - 12V - 125mm Tunnel
Description
The Vetus BOW PRO is a fully proportional, brushless induction thruster — a revolutionary step forward in bow and stern thruster technology. With no carbon brushes, the motor is completely maintenance-free and delivers endurance-rated run-time at reduced thrust, making it ideal for demanding docking situations.
Controlled via Vetus V-CAN CANbus protocol, the BOW PRO integrates seamlessly with existing Vetus tunnel sizes and many other brands, making it a straightforward upgrade for boats with existing thrusters.
Key Features
- Maintenance-free brushless induction motor — no carbon brushes
- Fully proportional control for precise, smooth thrust
- Endurance-rated run-time at reduced thrust settings
- Built-in over-temperature and low battery protection
- Electronic switching — no mechanical solenoids for improved reliability
- V-CAN CANbus digital control — future-ready for boat-wide integration
- Compatible with existing Vetus tunnel sizes and many other brands
- Compatible control panels: BPPPA (basic) or BPPJA (lock-and-hold for easy docking)
