Vetus Bow 25 Electric Bow Thrusters

The Vetus 25 electric bow thruster adds lateral thrust to small boats with sideways thrust power of 55 pound-force (lbf)/ 25 kgf, improving maneuvering in tight spaces. Install the thruster below the waterline in the bow of the hull to alleviate the need for extra crew hands and line handling around the dock.

Vetus bow thrusters feature a streamlined bronze tail piece and composite propeller designed for quiet, effective thrust.

Bow 25 operates on a 12V system.

Vetus Bow Thruster units are also used as stern thrusters. Simply mount the unit in combination with the appropriate sized stern thruster kit.
