THE MATCHING BOW THRUSTER UNIT IS TO BE ORDERED SEPARATELY.

A VETUS stern thruster, in combination with a VETUS bow thruster (see pages 8, 9, 10 and 11) will provide even greater manoeverability of your boat in locks or harbors. The availability of a side-directional thruster in the bow and another side-directional thruster at the transom makes mooring, sailing away and finding the right spot in the lock or the marina child’s play. The effects of wind and current can be effectively countered, except in extreme situations. Installation of a VETUS stern thruster is a simple operation. The electric motor and the other electric components are - snug and dry- on the transom inside the boat. The tunnel and the propeller are installed externally on the transom.A range of six different stern thruster tubes is available, with tunnel diameters of 4 11/32”, 5 29/32”, 7 9/32”, 9 7/8”, 11 13/16” or 15 3/4”. For technical details of the matching bow thruster units, please see pages 8, 9, 10 and 11.

In order to operate VETUS bow or stern thrusters, a variety of remote control panels are available (see page 14).All panels are watertight, according to IP 65. Connection cables (page 15) must be ordered separately.

STERN THRUSTERS (FOR TRANSOM MOUNTING)

If a stern thruster is installed on a boat transom with hull extensions or appendages, swim platform brackets, surface piercing drives and other obstructions to the inflow and ouflow of the thruster water jet, a substantial reduction in effective thrust will occur. To significantly improve these situations, thruster diverter cowlings may be bolted to the ends of the stern thruster tube, to direct the water jet away from the obstructions.

A stern thruster installation kit comprises a tunnel with ideally shaped end fairings to ensure optimum performance. The mounting flange is integral and the whole assembly is manufactured in strong and maintenance free fiberglass.

“THRUST DIVERTERS FOR STERN TUBES”

These cowlings are not designed to improve stern thruster performance in shallow draft situations where the stern thruster tube has been installed at less than the depth specified in VETUS installation manuals and other documents.
