Vetus Bow Thruster 35Kgf is a compact, high‑torque bow thruster designed to give you confident control at low speeds and in tight spaces. Built for boats from 6.5 to 10 meters, this 12V unit delivers precise bow manoeuvring when you need it most—in marinas, confined channels, or during close-quarters docking.

One of its standout advantages is the 150 mm tunnel diameter. That smaller footprint makes installation significantly easier for many vessels, especially when compared with units that require a standard 185 mm tunnel. This thoughtful sizing means less hull modification, faster fitting, and cleaner integration with existing systems.

Designed for real-world use, the Vetus 35Kgf focuses on reliable, quiet operation and minimal turbulence inside the tunnel. A single propeller reduces flow disturbance, while the unique blade design minimizes cavitation noise for smoother, more predictable thrust. Spiral gears help keep transmission noise low, and a bronze streamlined lower leg adds durability in a marine environment.

Key engineering details that matter in practice:

• Thrust: 35 Kgf for confident bow control.
• Power: 1.5 kW (2 hp) at 12V DC, offering strong, immediate response.
• Tunnel: 150 mm internal diameter for easier installation.
• Vibration & Noise: Flexible coupling between tailpiece and motor eliminates vibration; spiral gears minimize transmission noise; single propeller reduces flow disturbance.
• Materials: Bronze lower leg and a strong synthetic propeller reduce weight and resist corrosion.
• EMC Compliance: All Vetus maneuvering systems meet EMC requirements for reliable marine electrical performance.
• Installation: Supplied with clear installation and operation instructions for straightforward setup.
• Shipping: This item is shipped directly from local suppliers for efficient delivery.
