Vetus STE6024D - Retractable Bow Thruster, 700N / 70kgf, 24V

Vetus STE6024D - Retractable Bow Thruster, 700N / 70kgf, 24V

Enhance your boat's maneuverability with the Vetus STE6024D retractable bow thruster, designed for vessels ranging from 9 to 13 meters. Even for experienced skippers, navigating in challenging conditions can be demanding. The new series of retractable Vetus thrusters offer a solution that can be attached to flat parts of the hull without disturbing its smooth lines, making mooring easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

The retractable bow thruster boasts the following advantages:

• Optimum thrust without permanently increasing your draft
• Less noise and vibrations as it is not directly connected to the hull
• Optimum tunnel length with minimal losses
• Practically no growth from the outside as it is protected from light when retracted
• Can be placed in the stern, where there would otherwise be no room for a pipe
• Less drag as the lid is flush with the hull
• Space-saving installation dimensions

The Vetus retractable bow thruster offers significant advantages compared to other options on the market:

• The patented design (fulcrum) - the thruster rotates as a unit
• Less complicated construction, fewer moving parts, light, simple, and robust
• Optimized tunnel ergonomics: more power, less noise
• All lower parts are non-corrosive
• Child lock to prevent accidental operation
• Automatic extension and retraction
• Shear pin for motor safety
• Electronically prepared for communication based on CAN protocols
• Automatic retraction and shutdown after 15 minutes
• Automatic retraction after the engine is switched off
• Safety time delay on reverse thrust
• Fast implementation / break-in time
• Unique intelligent system to prevent jamming, overloading, and blocking
