DC STERN THRUSTERS FOR TRANSOM MOUNTING

Stern thruster
Docking was never this easy
Combining a VETUS stern thruster with a VETUS bow thruster, will provide an even greater
manoeuvrability of your boat in locks or harbours. By placing a side-directional thruster in
the bow and another one at the transom, docking, sailing away, finding a spot in the lock
or marina, becomes child’s play! Even the effects of wind and current can be effectively
countered. Installation of a VETUS stern thruster is simple, the electric motor and other
electric components are fitted internally to the transom of the boat. The tunnel and the
propeller are installed externally on the transom. Note: The range of 7 different stern
thruster kits can make 14 different stern thruster models. These kits may also be used with ‘ignition protected’ thrusters and
extended runtime thrusters. For sizes and specifications see details below.

STERN THRUSTERS FOR TRANSOM MOUNTING

Extension kit for stern thrusters
If the openings of the stern thruster are too close to the waterline, then it
will suck air and considerable loss of thrust will occur. This can be prevented
by using an extension kit which ensures both tunnel openings are adequately
submerged. By installing these deflector shells, the flow of water can also be
directed away from transom mounted obstructions including outdrives, trim
tabs and swim-platform brackets, maintaining stern thruster effectiveness.
The kit consists of 2 fibreglass shells and stainless steel (AISI 316) fastenings.
It can easily be retrofitted to existing installations. The SDKIT is available for
stern thrusters with tunnels of Ø 4 / 64, 5 / 32, 7 / 32, 9 / 32 or 11 / 16” (125, 150,
