Vetus SDKIT Stern Thruster Extension Kit

The Vetus SDKIT Stern Thruster Extension Kit is specifically designed to enhance the effectiveness of aft thruster control panels (CPs) on boats and vessels. The kit ensures that the thruster screw is sufficiently submerged below the waterline to prevent air intake, which can result in a loss of thrust power. This is particularly important for vessels with low draft or limited space below the hull where achieving the necessary submersion depth can be difficult.

Main Features of the Vetus SDKIT Stern Thruster Extension Kit:

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 already in place, simplifying the retrofitting process.
Components: The kit includes two durable fiberglass (GRP) cases and the necessary stainless steel fasteners for installation.
Optimal Water Flow: Ideal for situations where other equipment on the transom may obstruct the free flow of water to the thruster, reducing the reduction in thrust force.
Perfect for Low Draft Vessels: Particularly useful for boats and floating homes ("floating dachas") with very shallow drafts, ensuring optimal thruster performance.

The Vetus SDKIT Stern Thruster Extension Kit helps maintain the performance of aft thruster control panels in challenging conditions. Whether you have a low draft vessel or encounter other restrictions on the transom, this extension kit ensures that your thruster remains submerged at the proper depth for optimal operation. Installing this kit improves maneuverability and control for your boat or vessel.
