Vetus WCAPS1/2 Water Scoop Kit for Ø40–45–50 mm Shaft
The Vetus WCAPS1/2 Water Scoop Kit provides a dependable and efficient method for delivering water to water-lubricated cutlass bearings and shaft seals on 40 mm, 45 mm, and 50 mm propeller shafts. It ensures consistent lubrication and cooling, which are essential for the longevity and performance of the propulsion system.
This system can be connected either by tapping a small amount of water from the engine’s raw water cooling circuit or by using the supplied G½ through-hull water scoop assembly. The WCAPS1/2 kit is suitable for use with bronze, GRP, and steel stern tubes and supports all Vetus shaft seals equipped with a Ø12 mm hose connector for water feed.
By maintaining continuous water flow to the stern tube and bearing, this kit reduces friction, prevents overheating, and extends the service life of seals and bearings. It is particularly suitable for vessels operating in high-load or high-speed conditions, where reliable cooling and lubrication are critical.
