Vetus retractable Bow bolts, 600N / 60kgf, 12Vn

Type STE...D - Retractable Bow thruster Easy docking, no resistance, less noise For Boats from 8,5-12,5m Even for the experienced Skipper it can be difficult to maneuver the boat in rough wind conditions and strong currents. The new series of retractable VETUS thrusters can be attached to flat parts of the Hull and do not interfere with its smooth lines. This new solution will make docking easier, faster and simply more enjoyable. The Retractable bow thruster has the following advantages - Optimum thrust without permanently increasing your draught - Less noise and vibration as it is not directly connected to the Hull - Optimum tunnel length with minimal losses - Virtually no fouling from the outside as it is light-protected when retracted - Can be placed in the stern (in both sail and motor boats), where there would otherwise be no room for a tube - Less drag as the cover is flush with the Hull - Space-saving installation dimensions The new retractable bow thruster has some major advantages compared to other options on the market - The patented design (pivot point) - the thruster rotates as a single unit - Less complicated design, fewer moving parts...... Lightweight, Simple and Robust - Optimized Tunnel Ergonomics: More power, less noise - All underwater parts are non-corrosive - Child safety lock to prevent accidental Actuation - Automatic retraction and extension - Shear pin for Motor Security - Electronics prepared for communication based on CAN-protocols - Automatic retraction and shutdown after 15 min - Automatic retraction after the Motor is switched off - Security time delay for thrust reversal - Fast implementation / retraction time - Unique intelligent system to prevent malfunctions, overloading and blocking The retractable Bow thrusters from VETUS are suitable for sailboats and motorboats up to 20 meters. The matching VETUS control panel is sold separately. The bow bolts are available in 150 mm, 185 mm and 250 mm tunnels (diameter). Thrust forces: 55 kgf, 60 kgf, 75 kgf, 95 kgf, 125 kgf, 160 kgf in 12V and 24V. For a complete installation you also need: - BPJRC or BPSRC (Joystick or push-button panel) - BPCABC??M (Control box-panel cable) - BPCABCPC (CAN Motor control cable) - BPCANHUB (CAN 3-fold HUB) - BPCANT (CAN resistor)
