The Vetus BOW4512D Bow Thruster is a maritime maneuvering system designed for vessels requiring enhanced control in confined spaces. This unit provides 45 kgf of thrust, powered by a 3 kW, 12 VDC motor, and is compatible with a 125 mm internal tunnel diameter. It is engineered to reduce cavitation noise through its unique propeller blade design and minimize vibration via a flexible coupling between the tail piece and motor. The system incorporates a streamlined tail piece for efficient water flow and a corrosion-resistant synthetic propeller to reduce maintenance and weight. Installation is straightforward, supported by comprehensive instructions. This bow thruster is suitable for IT buyers and procurement managers at marine businesses or shipyards seeking a reliable, fixed-mount maneuvering solution for their fleet, offering practical assistance for docking and low-speed navigation.
The Vetus BOW4512D operates on 12 VDC power and has a current consumption of 300 A. It requires a 3 kW power input to deliver 45 kgf of thrust.
This bow thruster is designed for an internal tunnel diameter of 125 mm. This specification is critical for proper installation and optimal performance.
The Vetus BOW4512D minimizes cavitation noise through its unique propeller blade design. Vibration is reduced by using a flexible coupling positioned between the tail piece and the motor.
The Vetus BOW4512D has a continuous operating time of 4 minutes. It is not designed for extended runtime applications.
