Retractable thruster, electric, 95kgf 12V

Easy docking, no drag, less noise
Even for the more experienced skipper, it can be difficult to manoeuvre the boat in harsh wind conditions and strong currents. The new line of retractable VETUS thrusters can be installed in shallow parts of the hull without disturbing its smooth lines. This low-drag solution will make your docking experience easier, faster and just plain more enjoyable.


A retractable thruster has the following advantages

• Optimum forward placement in the bow, while maintaining depth by deployment
• Less noise and vibration as it is not directly connected to the hull
• Optimum tunnel length with minimal losses
• Virtually no marine growth, as there is no light when thruster is in retracted and closed position
• May be placed in the stern in (both sailing and motor) boats where it is not possible to install a tunnel thruster
• Less drag as the lid is flush to the hull
• Small dimensions
• Suitable for power vessels up to 20m
