Free collection or call (07)5591 1911 for freight costs
The Vetus BOW4512DI is the go-to bow thruster for boats with petrol engines, fuel tanks, or propane storage. Its ignition-protected, IP65-rated motor housing complies with ISO 8846 Marine standard — keeping fumes and gas well away from the internal mechanism for safe, worry-free operation.
Compact enough for a 125mm tunnel, this 45 kgf 12V thruster punches well above its size for smaller powerboats and motor cruisers. The sealed, corrosion-resistant housing ships complete with all seals, electrical connectors, and fastening hardware. An externally resettable automatic fuse means routine maintenance never requires opening the housing. It can also be configured as a stern thruster with the appropriate kit.
