december 10, 2021 The BOW PRO Thruster Family Corporate Commercial Control at your fingertips Thrusters can take the stress out of docking by giving you sideways control of the movement and position of the bow and the stern of your boat. They work by rotating a propeller in a submerged tunnel or a housing mounted athwartships and located near the bow and/or the stern. Revolutionary concept matched with proven technology The VETUS BOW PRO is a one of a kind thruster, which is standard fully proportional controlled. This thruster is equipped with brushless induction motors. Therefore the bow / stern thruster motor is maintenance-free and has much longer runtimes compared to conventional DC thrusters. The induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller. The built-in over-temp and low battery protection, combined with the brushless induction motor make the BOW PRO thruster series highly resistant to abuse and ideal for the most demanding boater in the most difficult manoeuvring situations! The induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller. The built-in over-temp and low battery protection, combined with the brushless induction motor make the BOW PRO thruster series highly resistant to abuse and ideal for the most demanding boater in the most difficult manoeuvring situations! The BOW PRO is available in several propeller and tunnel diameters and powerful enough to turn your runabout in the desired direction. Recommended battery sizes for the BOW PRO series are slightly larger than advised for conventional DC thrusters. With these larger batteries you can take full advantage of the motor efficiencies, which results in longer run-times. Unique Features Unlimited runtimes Fully proportional control Connectivity to devices with canbus carrying signals possible Digitally controlled by (patented) MCV motor controller Available with lock-and-hold controls Maintenance-free brushless induction motor Highly efficient thruster system Built-in over-temp and low battery protection Interchangeable with existing thrusters (shared tunnel sizes) Go to the BOW PRO brochure Discover the BOW PRO family BOW PRO 300 Mercury Marine JPO & BOW PRO
