Vetus BOWA0301 BOW PRO Fully Proportional Brushless Bow Thruster 30 kgf, 12V, Ø 110 mm Tunnel
The Vetus BOWA0301 BOW PRO bow thruster combines full proportional thrust control with a highly efficient brushless induction motor for precise maneuvering in confined spaces. Ideal for vessels up to 24 ft (7 m), it enables smooth and accurate motion both forward and reverse, enhancing safety during docking or low-speed navigation.
Advanced lock-and-hold controls allow operators to maintain a selected thrust level with a single button press. The system is driven by the patented MCV motor controller and communicates using the V-CAN CANBUS protocol for seamless integration with Vetus control panels and compatible onboard systems. Built-in safeguards protect against overheating and low-battery conditions.
The unit is designed for easy retrofit—matching existing Vetus and many third-party tunnel installations—making upgrades straightforward and cost-efficient.
