Vetus Bow Thruster Ignition Protected - 75 kgf, 12v, D185mm Tunnel

The Ignition-protected Bow Thruster 75 kgf 12 V 185 mm Tunnel offers unparalleled safety for compartments where gasoline/petrol engines, fuel tanks, or propane gas systems are present. This thruster is suitable for boats between 10.5 and 15 m in length.

The Ignition-protected Bow Thruster 75 kgf 12 V 185 mm Tunnel electric thruster comes with all the necessary seals, electrical connectors, and fastening components for easy and secure installation. A unique feature is the built-in automatic fuse for the control loom, which can be reset externally—this not only reduces the need for maintenance but also ensures that users can quickly restore function without opening the housing, maintaining the integrity of the ignition-protected system.

Designed to comply with the stringent ISO 8846 Marine 'Ignition Protection' standard, this thruster is built with a fully enclosed, watertight housing that prevents explosive fumes from coming into contact with the internal components of the thruster. This robust design ensures that any risk of fire due to fuel or gas vapors is significantly minimized, making these thrusters ideal for use in confined spaces or areas containing flammable materials.

The versatility of the thruster extends beyond bow applications, as it can be used as a stern thruster when paired with the appropriate kit, providing comprehensive propulsion solutions. With its high level of safety, ease of installation, and operational reliability, this thruster series is an essential addition to boats that require safe, powerful, and adaptable maneuvering capabilities in challenging environments.
