BOW7512D - Vetus Maxwell, Inc. Vetus BOW7512D Bow Thruster 4.4Kw 75kgF 12vDC 185mm Tunnel

Vetus BOW7512D Bow thruster 75 Kgf, 12 V, tunnel 185 mm diameter.

• A single propeller creates less flow disturbance in the tunnel
• The VETUS unique propeller blade design minimises cavitation noise
• The use of a flexible coupling between tail piece and motor eliminates vibration
• All VETUS systems use a streamlined tail piece for optimum flow
• A strong synthetic propeller eliminates corrosion and reduces weight
• Systems are easy to install, supplied with clear installation and operation instructions
• VETUS systems use a new line of high quality aluminium control panels which are interchangeable with older panels
• All VETUS manoeuvring systems meet the EMC requirements

The Vetus BOW7512D Bow Thruster is a 12V DC maritime propulsion unit designed for vessels requiring enhanced maneuverability. With a thrust of 80 kgf and a 4.4 kW power output, this thruster facilitates precise docking and navigation in confined spaces. It integrates a single, corrosion-resistant synthetic propeller within a 185mm diameter tunnel, engineered to minimize cavitation noise and optimize water flow. The system incorporates a flexible coupling to reduce vibration between the tail piece and motor, contributing to quieter operation. Installation is streamlined with clear instructions, and the unit is compatible with VETUS high-quality aluminum control panels. This bow thruster is suitable for marine applications where reliable, non-proportional, and non-retractable auxiliary thrust is needed for short durations, with a continuous operating time of 2 minutes. It is a practical solution for improving vessel control.
