VETUS 6-Blade Bow Propeller Upgrade for 45, 50 & 80kgf Thrusters
Category: Boats and equipment
Subcategory: Steering
Enhance the control and comfort of your vessel with the revolutionary VETUS 6-Blade Bow Propeller. Designed as a direct upgrade for select VETUS bow thrusters, this propeller represents a significant leap forward in marine maneuvering technology. If you´re seeking quieter operation, improved efficiency, and superior performance when docking or navigating tight spaces, this upgrade is the definitive solution for your boat. Move with confidence and precision, transforming your docking experience from a noisy chore into a silent, precise operation.
The core benefit of this advanced propeller lies in its dramatically reduced noise profile. Experience near-silent maneuvering thanks to a unique six-blade profile engineered to minimize cavitation—the primary source of noise in conventional thrusters. This results in a dramatically quieter boating experience for you and your crew, eliminating the distracting high-pitched sound often associated with thruster use. Enjoy peaceful arrivals and departures, without disturbing the tranquility of the marina or anchorage.
In addition to its quiet performance, this propeller offers remarkable efficiency gains. Operate your thruster with greater confidence, knowing you are conserving battery power. The advanced hydrodynamic design reduces drag and optimizes thrust, leading to a current consumption reduction of up to 10%. This means longer operational times, less strain on your vessel´s electrical system, and more power available when you need it most, especially during challenging docking situations.
Advanced Hydrodynamic Design
Working in close collaboration with the Maritime Institute Netherlands (MARIN), the world-famous hydrodynamic laboratory, VETUS has optimised the performance of its thrusters. This has been achieved by utilising a unique propeller blade profile, which creates little or no cavitation. As cavitation produces unwanted noise, this new blade design offers a major reduction in the operating sound levels for VETUS bow thrusters. Moreover, the application of this new propeller has reduced the current consumption by up to 10%. By virtually eliminating cavitation, the blades maintain constant contact with the water, translating more of the motor´s power into effective, immediate thrust for smoother, more predictable handling.
Technical Specifications and Compatibility
This high-performance 6-blade component is a purpose-built upgrade for specific VETUS models, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal function. Please review the following technical specifications to ensure compatibility with your system:
* This is a six-blade propeller upgrade for Vetus Bow thrusters 50 and 80Kgf, first generation (with 12mm parallel shaft and red propeller end caps).
* It is also suitable for the model BSCHR0EF with a 10mm drive shaft. For this specific model, two sleeve adapters (10x12x15mm) are included to ensure proper installation.
* This set contains the propeller with white end caps, plus the necessary 4mm diameter drive pin for a complete replacement.
Upgrade your vessel with one of the most advanced Propellers on the market. The VETUS 6-Blade Bow Propeller is more than just a replacement part; it´s an investment in a quieter, more efficient, and more enjoyable boating experience
