Product Details

The Vetus BOW5512D is a powerful electric bow thruster designed for enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. Engineered for boats ranging from 8 to 12 meters in length, this 12-volt thruster delivers 55 kgf (121 lbs) of thrust to provide precise control when docking or navigating in close quarters.

Key Features:

  • 55 kgf (121 lbs) thrust output for reliable side-thrust power
  • 12V DC operation with 3 kW motor and 350-amp current consumption
  • Designed for 150mm (6-inch) tunnel diameter (tunnel sold separately)
  • Single 6-blade propeller for efficient thrust generation
  • Durable bronze gearbox with integrated zinc anode for corrosion protection
  • Recommended for vessels 26 to 39 feet in length

This tunnel-mount thruster requires a separately purchased 150mm diameter tunnel tube for installation. The bronze gearbox construction ensures long-lasting durability in marine environments, while the included zinc anode provides sacrificial protection against galvanic corrosion. The BOW5512D offers an excellent balance of power and efficiency for midsize vessels requiring dependable bow control.
