VETUS BOW PRO 361 12V Bow Thruster with 80 lbs Thrust for Boats 23-28 ft

BOW PRO 361 Bow Thruster 36KGF - 12V

The BOW PRO thrusters are fitted with proven induction technology. This system makes the use of carbon brushes obsolete. As a result, the bow thruster is very quiet and has indefinite* run-time! The (AC) induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller. This in-house-engineered motor controller can handle both 12V, 24V and AC motors, making the new bow thruster suitable for almost all boats!

The BOW PRO thruster is controlled by a proprietary CANBUS protocol. There are two different panels available for this thruster; one fully-proportional basic panel and one fully-proportional panel with lock-function. This allows the boat to be moored without the use of ropes. Letting passengers board your vessel have never been this easy! Evolution is to continue on a set of good properties, so there are similarities with its predecessors: remained are the very silent propeller blades and the streamlined tailpiece. Retrofitting a BOW PRO thruster, therefore, is a piece of cake as the new motor is interchangeable with the tailpiece and flange of our thruster range.

Features:

• Range of Boat Size: 23ft - 28ft
• Thrust in pounds force: 80 lbs
• Motor horse power: 2
• Tunnel- center line below the waterline: 125MM
• Voltage: 12V
• Precision proportional control
• Endurance Rated Run-time - up to 10 minutes (dependant on model) at full power
• Maintenance-free brushless motor
• Sealed ingression protection construction - motor sealed for improved corrosion resistance in damp bilge environments
• Built-in over-temp and low battery voltage protection
• Suitable for high demanding applications (e.g. for use in rental charter vessels)

The VETUS BOW PRO 361 bow thruster is a reliable and efficient propulsion solution designed for boats ranging from 23 to 28 feet. Equipped with advanced induction technology, this thruster eliminates carbon brushes, resulting in quieter operation and indefinite run-time. The 12V motor is controlled by the innovative VETUS MCV motor controller, which supports multiple voltage inputs including 12V, 24V, and AC, making it adaptable to a wide range of vessel electrical systems. Its seamless integration with a proprietary CANBUS protocol ensures precise control and easy operation, whether using the basic proportional panel or the full-featured panel with lock-function for mooring without ropes. The streamlined design and silent propeller blades maintain efficiency and reduce noise during operation, enhancing onboard comfort and safety. Retrofitting the BOW PRO 361 is straightforward, thanks to its interchangeable motor, tailpiece, and flange, facilitating easy upgrades or replacements.
Constructed with sealed ingress protection, the motor resists corrosion in damp environments such as bilges, ensuring durability and reliability. The thruster features built-in protections against overheating and low battery voltage, safeguarding your equipment during demanding conditions. Its compact design and powerful 80 lbs of thrust make it suitable for high-demand applications, including rental and charter vessels. Maintenance-free brushless motors and robust construction make the VETUS BOW PRO 361 an ideal choice for boat owners seeking performance, longevity, and ease of use in a bow thruster.
