Vetus V-DOCKER Complete Kit for Standard Tunnel Bow & Stern Thrusters
Description
The Vetus V-DOCKER puts full control of your bow thruster, stern thruster, single engine, and gearbox into one pressure-sensitive joystick — making single-handed docking and manoeuvring effortless.
Unlike systems that rely on opposing stern forces, the V-DOCKER uses a coordinated combination of bow and stern thrusters to distribute forces evenly across the vessel. The result: precise, predictable handling in tight marina berths with no drift.
