Vetus 45 Kgf Bow Thruster Kit

Enhance your boating experience with the Vetus bow thruster kit, ideal for vessels measuring between 7.5 to 11.5 meters. This thruster is renowned for its reliability, quiet operation, and outstanding efficiency. With a tunnel diameter of 125 mm, it suits both displacement boats up to 7.5 meters and planing vessels up to 11.5 meters.

Kit Contents:

• Motor with propeller
• 100 cm bow tunnel (125 mm diameter)
• BPSE26 touch control panel
• 26-meter 4-wire electrical cable
• 250A fuse and holder

Features:

• Ideal for boats from 7.5 to 11.5 meters.
• Innovative propeller design minimizes cavitation noise, making it the quietest option available.
• Complete Kit: Components are bundled for convenience, allowing custom lengths for tunnels, control cables, and panel types to be selected.
• Cabling isn't included, but typically, the battery is installed close to the thruster; we recommend a cable size suited for a distance of 4.5 meters from the battery.

Cable Recommendations:

For installations extending to 4.5 meters, we advise a 50 mm² cable size. For longer runs, select larger sizes:

• 4.5 meters: 50 mm²
• 6.4 meters: 70 mm²
• 8.7 meters: 95 mm²
• 11 meters: 120 mm²

Battery Selection:

Proper battery sizing is vital, as inadequate current can harm cables and the thruster unit. Avoid discharging lead-acid batteries below 45% of their capacity to extend their lifespan. AGM batteries handle deeper discharges better but still require a 45% reserve for operation.

When choosing a battery, consider:

• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): Measures the battery's capability to deliver high power quickly.
• Amp Hours (Ah): Indicates total energy capacity.

For optimal use with this thruster, we suggest:

• Minimum CCA: 625
• Maximum CCA: 1250
• Recommended Battery Capacity: 85 - 200 Ah
