Vetus BOWA0304 BOW PRO Fully Proportional Brushless Bow Thruster 30 kgf, 48V, Ø 110 mm Tunnel
The Vetus BOWA0304 thruster provides smooth, precise and fully proportional thrust control for effortless docking and maneuvering. Designed for vessels up to 24 ft (7 m), it ensures reliable bow and stern movement even in challenging conditions. The system operates at 48 V, making it ideal for integration with modern low-emission and electric propulsion setups.
Its brushless induction motor requires no routine maintenance and supports extended runtime, improving reliability and usability during longer maneuvering operations. A patented MCV motor controller optimizes propulsion performance, while the V-CAN CANBUS protocol enables seamless connectivity with Vetus control panels and onboard systems. Safety is enhanced through integrated protection against overheating and low battery conditions.
Retrofit installation is simple due to dimensional compatibility with existing tunnel layouts from Vetus and multiple other brands.
