VETUS bow thruster 55 kgf, ignition protected
Code: BOW5512DI
VETUS ignition protected bow thruster with 55 kgf thrust force, suitable for
boats from 8,5 to 12,5 metres in length. 12 Volt version.
Installing an electric bow or stern thruster in a petrol (gasoline) engined
boat can be very dangerous, due to the possibility of the electric motor
igniting fuel vapour. In order to eliminate the risk, this special housing
will shield the bow or stern thruster from potentially explosive vapour.
The housing enables the thruster to comply with the ISO 8846 Marine ?ignition
protection? standard. In addition to the standard thruster, the set consists
of a watertight (IP65) housing for the electric motor and relays, together
with all required seals, electrical connectors and fastening components.
An automatic fuse for the control loom is also supplied. This can be reset
externally without opening the housing. For both 12 and 24 volt supply. They
can also be used as stern thrusters, in combination with the appropriate kit.
Because the motor housing is watertight, these sets are also ideal for use
where the bow or stern thruster is installed in a wet or humid space.
