The one-stop boat shop
The benefits of the VETUS Retractable Thruster reside in its simplicity, strength, ease of installation and limited service requirements. Those benefits include:
- The ability to equip a shallow draft boat, including a sailboat with a cutaway forefoot and raised stern, with thrusters
- Constructed around a time-tested standard VETUS DC thruster.
- A simple and sturdy swing mechanism, with a minimum of moving parts. The thruster pivots on a permanently lubricated and substantial bearing.
- The propeller revolves in a short duct, creating focused flow and minimum energy losses
- The hull bottom plate (lid) is attached directly to the propeller duct so no additional or complex mechanism is required to open or close it – it swings in and out with the thruster.
- When the thruster is retracted and the bottom plate closed, the retractable creates slightly less drag than a standard tunnel, which may be significant on a racing sailboat
- Fiberglass housing and electronic control mechanism (excl. the dashboard panel and cables) are supplied in the base package.
- The thrusters deploys and retracts automatically, as the control panel is (de-)activated, so no separate controls need to be operated.
- It will also retract automatically if the thruster has not been used in fifteen minutes
- Electronic sensing protects the actuator of the swing machanism from damage in event of an overload or jam
- There is a one and a half second time delay when changing thrust direction to prevent shock loads on gears, drive mechanism and swing mechanism.
- The thruster(s) and their control panels are connected by cables carrying digital V-CAN signals (VETUS canbus type) allowing future integration into boat-wide electronic systems and information displays
VETUS Retractable Thrusters are suitable for installation in power and sail boats ranging from 30 to 60 feet.
