Vetus Stern thrusters extension for STERN185P

Type SDKIT..., extension kit for stern thrusters - Stern thrusters (for MIRROR MOUNTING) For an uninterrupted flow of water A stern thruster only works optimally if the propeller is sufficiently deep below the waterline. In some cases, this is not possible because the draft of the Yacht is too shallow, especially as the stern thruster system must not protrude below the Hull to act as a brake. If a Stern thrusters is not sufficiently immersed in the water, the Propeller will suck in a lot of air, with a considerable loss of efficiency as a consequence. VETUS has now developed an extension kit for all Stern thrusters with a tunnel diameter of Ø 150, 185, 250 or 300 mm to ensure that the two tunnel openings are deep enough below the waterline.
