Vetus Bow Thruster - 220 kgf - 24V - Tunnel Dia: 300mm (BOW22024D)
Description
The Vetus BOW series is the original recreational boat bow thruster — developed and refined over 30 years across vessels from 15 to 90 feet. The BOW22024D delivers 220 kgf of thrust at 24V DC, making it a powerful and reliable manoeuvring solution for larger yachts and motorboats. Simple on/off port-starboard control, low noise from the unique propeller blade design and spiral gears, and a synthetic propeller that eliminates corrosion and reduces weight.
Easy to install with clear instructions, and control panels are interchangeable with older Vetus panels for straightforward upgrades.
