VETUS Rimdrive Thruster 160kgf 48V

The new VETUS rimdrive is an exciting and innovative development in
bow thruster design.

In contrast with conventional thrusters, the electric motor does
not take up valuable space inside the boat. Instead, the propeller
forms the rotating part of the electric motor (rotor) and the fixed
winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel.
This results in a very compact and self contained thruster.
Due to careful design of the propeller blades and the ring which
encloses them, this new rimdrive is virtually cavitation free and
consequently, virtually silent.
The familiar turbulence experienced with conventional thrusters is
absent and only a gentle murmur can be heard when in operation.

The VETUS rimdrive features proportional control as standard. This
means that the correct amount of thrust is always available to the
helmsman, in order to cope with different manoeuvres and wind
conditions.
Furthermore, the rimdrive offers unlimited working time, with the
only limitation being the capacity of the battery bank. With the
innovative tunnel within a tunnel design, the propeller can be
easily exchanged without having to dismantle the entire rimdrive.
