VETUS STE7524D Swing Electric Bow Thruster 75kgf 24V

Easy docking, no drag, less noise

Even for the more experienced skipper, it can be difficult to
manoeuvre the boat in harsh wind conditions and strong currents.
The new line of retractable VETUS Swing Electric
Retractable Bow Thrusters can be placed in shallow parts
of the hull and will not disturb its smooth lines. This low drag
solution will make your docking experience easier, faster and just
plain more enjoyable.

Note: VETUS bow thruster panel sold
separately.

A retractable thruster has the following
advantages:

• Ideal to use when there is insufficient draft to install a
  regular thruster and/or to not disturb the lines of the
  hull
• Optimum forward placement in the bow, while maintaining depth
  by deployment
• Less noise and vibration as it is not directly connected to the
  hull
• Optimum tunnel length with minimal losses
• Virtually no marine growth, as there is no light when thruster
  is in retracted and closed position
• May be placed in the stern in (both sailing and motor) boats
  where it is not possible to install a tunnel thruster
• Less drag as the lid is flush to the hull
• Small dimensions
• Suitable for power vessels up to 20 metres
