Retractable Electric Thruster 60 kgf 12 V
Description
The propeller of the Retractable Electric Thruster 60 kgf 12 V revolves in short duct, creating focused flow and minimum energy loss, delivering reliable thrust when needed. The retractable design incorporates a seamless bottom plate attached directly to the propeller duct, reducing drag when retracted, which is particularly advantageous for sailing boats. The thruster automatically deploys and retracts when the control panel is deactivated, or if it remains unused for fifteen minutes, offering hands-free operation. Additionally, it includes electronic safeguards that protect the swing mechanism from overloads and jamming, while a one-and-a-half-second delay between direction changes prevents stress on gears and components.
Connectivity is streamlined through V-CAN digital signals, enabling easy integration into boat-wide electronic systems for future upgrades. The VETUS Retractable Thruster is engineered for straightforward installation and optimal compatibility with V-CAN cables, ensuring a reliable connection between controls and the thruster, making it the ideal choice for those looking to improve the agility and efficiency of their vessel.
