Vetus WCAPSET Water Scoop Kit for Ø25–30–35 mm Shaft
The Vetus WCAPSET Water Scoop Kit is a complete water supply solution designed to provide continuous lubrication and cooling for shaft seals and bearings on 25 mm, 30 mm, and 35 mm propeller shafts. It ensures a consistent water feed to the shaft system, maintaining proper lubrication and temperature control during operation.
The 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 G-type water scoop mounted externally. The scoop effectively channels water to the shaft seal, guaranteeing reliable performance even under demanding conditions. This arrangement minimizes friction, prevents overheating, and significantly extends the lifespan of both the shaft seal and the bearing.
The WCAPSET is compatible with bronze, GRP, and steel stern tubes and is suitable for use with all Vetus flexible inner bearing models. The kit includes all necessary fittings and components for straightforward installation and dependable operation.
