Vetus BOWA0364 BOW PRO Fully Proportional Brushless Bow Thruster 36 kgf, 48V, Ø 125 mm Tunnel
The Vetus BOWA0364 thruster offers accurate maneuvering control with proportional thrust adjustment, ensuring smooth vessel handling in narrow waterways and marinas. Designed for boats 20–30 ft (6–10 m), it enables efficient bow and stern positioning under challenging docking conditions.
The brushless induction motor provides quiet operation and requires no maintenance while delivering extended runtime performance. Powered by the patented MCV motor controller and connected through V-CAN (CANBUS protocol), the system integrates efficiently with Vetus control panels and compatible onboard electronics. Built-in protection against overheating and low voltage increases operational reliability.
The thruster design allows straightforward retrofit installation thanks to compatibility with the Ø 125 mm tunnels commonly used by Vetus and other marine brands. Engineered specifically for 48 V electrical systems, it supports the shift toward environmentally friendly electric propulsion.
