The Vetus SDKIT Stern Thruster Extension Kit is designed to enhance the effectiveness of aft thruster control panels (CPs) on boats and vessels. To ensure optimal performance, it is crucial that the thruster screw of the CP is sufficiently submerged below the waterline. If the thruster screw is not deep enough, it may draw in air, resulting in a significant loss of thrust power. However, in some cases, especially on vessels with low draft or restrictions on protruding parts below the hull, achieving the required submersion can be challenging.

Compatibility: The extension kit is suitable for all aft thruster control panels with tunnel diameters of 150 mm, 185 mm, 250 mm, and 300 mm.
Easy Installation: This kit can be easily installed even after the main thruster control panel is in place, simplifying the retrofitting process.
Components: The kit includes two durable fiberglass (GRP) cases and the necessary stainless steel fasteners.
Optimal Water Flow: Ideal for situations where other equipment on the transom may obstruct the free flow of water to the thruster, as it minimizes the reduction in thrust force.
Perfect for Low Draft Vessels: Particularly useful for boats and "floating dachas" with very shallow drafts, ensuring efficient thruster operation.

The Vetus SDKIT Stern Thruster Extension Kit is the solution to maintaining the effectiveness of aft thruster control panels in challenging conditions. Whether you have low draft vessels or other equipment on the transom, this extension kit ensures that your thruster operates optimally by providing the necessary submersion depth. Install this kit to improve maneuverability and control for your boat or vessel.
