Vetus STE9512D - Retractable Bow Thruster, 950N / 95kgf, 12V

Upgrade your vessel's maneuverability with the Vetus STE9512D retractable bow thruster, meticulously crafted to meet the demands of boats ranging from 12 to 17 meters. Designed to tackle challenging wind conditions and strong currents, this innovative thruster ensures seamless integration and enhanced control, making docking and navigating a hassle-free experience for both seasoned sailors and novices alike.

• 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 (both in sailing and motor boats) 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 STE9512D comes with a range of features to ensure efficient and safe operation:

• 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
