Vetus STE9512D Retractable Swing Bow Thruster 95 kgf, 12V
The Vetus STE9512D retractable bow thruster enhances manoeuvrability for sailing vessels and shallow draft boats by deploying only when necessary and retracting into the hull when inactive. A smooth bottom plate attached to the duct minimizes underwater drag, making this thruster ideal for performance-oriented yachts and vessels where efficiency matters.
The system uses a short-duct propeller design to create concentrated water flow and reduce energy loss. The swing mechanism rotates on a permanently lubricated bearing for long service life with minimal maintenance. Automatic retraction occurs when the control panel is turned off or after 15 minutes of inactivity. Built-in protections prevent overload and jamming, while a timed delay between direction changes protects the drive components. V-CAN communication ensures seamless connectivity with onboard controls.
