Bow Thrusters (Electrical) |
VETUS bow thrusters are equipped with a streamlined bronze tail piece.
This has proven to be
stronger and more durable than other materials sometimes used, whilst creating the minimum of
turbulence, lowest efficiency loss and lowest noise levels.
The metal underwater parts are protected
by a zinc anode, which is fitted as a standard. VETUS propellers are corrosion-free and on thrusters
up to the 310 kgf model, are made of synthetic materials.
Owing to their low weight, the maximum
thrust force is obtained very quickly and with a minimum of energy. The propeller blades are
specifically designed for use in a tunnel and are shaped in such a way that the thrust is equal to both
starboard and port. Because of this, cavitation is largely avoided and noise levels are considerably
reduced.
Thruster models over 310 kgf have bronze propellers as standard, for increased strength
and durability. Bronze propellers are available as an option for the 220, 230, 285 and 310 kgf models.
The smaller the diameter of tunnel, the lower the resistance will be while under way. In addition, a
smaller tunnel diameter allows the tunnel to be installed further forward, which increases the turning
moment of the boat. Tunnels are available in aluminum, GRP or steel to suit different hull materials.
VETUS bow thrusters use high efficiency electric motors for maximum power and longevity. In contrast
with modified starter motors, these allow continuous running at full power for several minutes.
A range of kits are available to enable any VETUS bow thruster to be used as a stern thruster. |

Easy Docking Panel
This control panel combines the
functions of twin joysticks into
one easy to operate knob. The
simple and intuitive control action
ensures that operation of both
bow and stern thruster together
becomes a smooth procedure.
The use of Hall effect sensors in
this control panel means there
are no holes in it and it is
therefore completely watertight.
Control panels type BPSSE, BPJSE, BPJDSE and EZDOCKS have the following features:
• Protected against accidental or unauthorized operation.
• Panel power on indicator.
• Warning LED and buzzer in the event of continuous running for more than 2 minutes
• Control circuit overload protection.
• Watertight to IP 65.

Pro-Docker
The new Pro-Docker from VETUS brings computer control to the helmsman’s fingertips and makes manoeuvring
your boat not only simple, but enjoyable too.
The Pro-Docker simultaneously controls the propulsion engine(s), the bow thruster and the stern thruster if fitted.
Intuitive operation of just a single joy stick is all that is needed to perform the most accurate boat movements. This
makes even the tightest berthing manoeuvre not only a pleasure but a source of pride. The VETUS Pro-Docker is the
perfect assistant, allowing you to handle your boat like a true professional. |

Accessories |
Wireless Control Panel
With the aid of this radio connection a bow thruster (or a stern
thruster) may be controlled using one of the VETUS control panels,
without the need to install an interconnecting cable from the thruster
to the panel. Installation of the thruster, particularly as a retro-fit, will
be much simpler and less time consuming, as running a connection
cable between the thruster motor and the control panel is no longer
necessary.
|
|
Time Lapse Device
Only necessary for BPJSTA, BPSM,
AFSTFR and AFSTFG. Eliminates the risk
of the bow thruster being switched over
too quickly. Highly recommended for
hire craft to prevent motor damage.

Remotely Controlled Battery Main Switch And
Emergency Stop
Modern electrical installations are intrinsically very reliable. However
a remotely operated battery switch is now required by law in many
countries.
This VETUS battery main switch can be either remotely
controlled electrically or activated by hand in an emergency. This
makes it ideal for use with bow thrusters, anchor windlasses or
other high current consumers. The switch should be fitted as close as
possible to the battery of the bow thruster or other consumer, but
always in a position where the red emergency stop button is within
easy reach.
For remote switching on and off, a control panel
is supplied. The standard loom is pre-wired with multi-plugs. Extension
looms are available as an option. In an emergency or
if the remote control is inoperable, the battery
bank can be isolated by pressing the red button.
This battery main switch/emergency
stop is available in combination with
12 or 24 Volt D.C. |
|
Series/Parallel Switch
The 160 kgf and 220 kgf bow thrusters are only available with a 24 Volt DC
electric motor. By installing a series/parallel switch in a 12 volt main power
supply system it is possible that:
• The 24 Volt bow thruster will work using 12 Volt batteries connected in
series, so as to obtain the required 24 volt voltage.
• For charging, the12 Volt batteries are automatically connected in parallel
and linked to the 12 Volt charging system. |
|
Stern Thrusters (For Transom Mounting) |
A VETUS stern thruster, in combination with a VETUS
bow thruster will provide even greater manoeuvrability
of your boat in locks or harbours. The availability of a
side-directional thruster in the bow and another sidedirectional
thruster at the transom makes mooring,
sailing away and finding the right spot in the lock
or the marina child’s play. The effects of wind and
current can be effectively countered, except in extreme
situations. Installation of a VETUS stern thruster is a
simple operation. The electric motor and the other
electric components are fitted internally to the transom
of the boat. The tunnel and the propeller are installed
externally on the transom.
A range of six different stern thruster kits is available,
with tunnel diameters of 110, 150, 185, 250, 300 or
400 mm. |
|
Extension Kit
For the stern thruster to function correctly, it is important
that the propeller is submerged well below the waterline.
If this is not the case, the propeller may suck air into the
tunnel, with a considerable loss of thrust power as a
consequence.
However, on some boats this is not really
feasible, because the draft at the stern is too shallow and
because the thruster assembly should never protrude
beneath the bottom of the boat.
In order to ensure both tunnel openings are sufficiently
below the waterline, VETUS has developed an extension kit
for stern thrusters with tunnel diameters of ø 150, 185, 250 or 300 mm.
This kit consists of two shells made
of GRP, together with all the necessary stainless
steel fastenings. The kit can be easily retrofitted
to existing installations.
This extension kit should be used if the transom
is fitted with other equipment, which may
prevent unhindered water flow through the
tunnel. It is also ideal for so-called “house
boats”, which in general have a very shallow
draft both at the bow and at the stern. |
|
Bow and Stern Thrusters (Hydraulic) |
There are seven models of hydraulic
bow thrusters in the VETUS sales
programme, featuring as standard
a hydraulic motor.
This hydraulic motor is driven by
a hydraulic pump.
If a hydraulic pump and associated
tank are already installed on board,
then, in most cases, this assembly
can be used for driving the bow thruster too.
Some marine engine manufacturers,
e.g. VETUS DEUTZ, supply as standard
a special P.T.O. (Power Take Off)
connection, which greatly simplifies
the installation of the hydraulic
pump. In addition to the pump and
the hydraulic storage tank, VETUS
can also supply the required load
sensing and control devices, as well
as the high-pressure hydraulic hoses,
complete with end fittings.
All these hydraulic bow thrusters may
be fitted to GRP steel or aluminium
tunnels or used as a stern thruster
using the appropriate installation kit. |
|
Control Panels
Hydraulic bow and stern
thruster panel with
on/off switch and twin
two step joysticks for
operation at full or
half power.
Watertight
to IP 65. |
|
Hydraulic Pumps |
All VETUS hydraulic drive systems feature a variable and adjustable piston pump, which operates according to
the constant pressure principle. This type of pump continuously varies its output to provide the ideal balance
between the required flow rate and the maximum operating pressure (“load sensing”). If no hydraulic flow is
required, the pump will simply freewheel, in which case the power drain and wear and tear will be negligible. |

Hydraulic Tanks |
Hydraulic systems require the installation of a hydraulic tank, as a reservoir for storage of the hydraulic fluid on board.
This tank serves as a buffer tank for the hydraulic fluid, and at the same time, cools the fluid which has become heated
during use. The lid of this hydraulic tank serves as the base plate for all control units required to operate the various
hydraulic devices. VETUS supplies this hydraulic tank ready to use and with complete installation of all control units,
as ordered. Additional control units can be supplied as separate components, if and when required. |

Diesel Propulsion System |
The VETUS diesel-hydraulic propulsion system
consists of a hydraulic motor, which is capable of
producing high radial output power, that is to
say, rotating slowly but with a high torque. The required power to drive the hydraulic motor
can be provided by a “Powerpack” an engine
with a hydraulic pump attached, or
by a generator set with an integrated hydraulic
pump. The hydraulic oil flow
is regulated proportionally, which means that
the propeller shaft can start turning extremely
slowly and that speed is built up gradually.
This hydraulic motor drives the propeller
shaft by means of a “Power Band”. In
this case the power band consists of 4 V-belts,
vulcanized to a flat belt, forming a complete
band. The hydraulic motor is mounted on a
frame that can be moved on a rail, by means
of a hydraulic cylinder. When not in use, the
power band will be slack and hang loosely over
the propeller shaft pulley
under its protective cover.
When the hydraulic cylinder
is activated, the power
band is tensioned around
both pulleys, thus creating
mechanical transmission
between the hydraulic motor
and the propeller shaft.
The VETUS diesel-hydraulic propulsion system
can be used to propel the boat at very low speeds on inland waterways where wash is
detrimental to the environment or when low trolling speeds are required. Of course, it
can also be used as an emergency propulsion
system, in case of main engine trouble. The
propulsion system may only be used with
propeller shafts that have a separate thrust
bearing.
Hydraulic Fluids
We recommend the use of the following
hydraulic fluids: HLP, ISO-VG46.
VHT1, VHT4, VHT20
Hydraulic Hose
Hose for hydraulic drives, complete
with connector nipples fitted. This
type of hose is available in various
lengths and diameters to order. |
Hydraulic Power Steering |
For larger boats, VETUS hydraulic power steering is a most comfortable and extremely safe steering system. The effort required at the
helm is only about 10% of a non-powered steering system. In other words; the boat can be steered literally with one finger. Because of
this, the steering wheel diameter can be considerably smaller than normal; a wheel diameter of just ø 360 mm will usually suffice. |
|
Electric Power Packs 12V and 24V |
Most VETUS power hydraulics systems are designed to run from an engine driven hydraulic pump. With such a system on board,
there can be enough power to operate many different pieces of hydraulic equipment such as bow and stern thrusters, power
steering, anchor windlass, capstan, gangway etc. However, these devices can only operate when the main engine or generator
are running, depending on where the pump is powered from. In certain circumstances though, it may be desirable to operate the
hydraulic systems without the engine or generator running. In these cases, a VETUS electric power pack will provide the answer;
either as a stand alone system or, as an additional power source in the main power hydraulics system.
Now, it just may happen, that one of these functions should be engaged for as brief moment, e.g.in a marina, in which case the
propulsion engine or the generator should be started up, except if a VETUS DC POWER PACK has been installed, which can take
over the function of the engine or the generator. This solution will be a tremendous asset to the comfort on board, especially if
the yacht is equipped with (a) powerful engine(s). |
Stabilizers (Hydraulic) |
Motor yachts over 10 m length are frequently used on open waters. VETUS stabilizers are the ideal
solution for drastically reducing the rolling movement of these vessels in bad weather or in heavy swells.

a rudder feedback unit and an electro-hydraulic
pump. In addition to the fixed remote control
handle, two more fixed or hand held remote
controls can also be connected to the control
box. The control box will operate an electrohydraulic
pump (EHP) with a reversible motor
and a maximum power consumption of 20 A,
or an EHP unit equipped with solenoid valves.
The control box is suitable for both 12 V and
24 V power supply.
The VETUS “Follow-Up” steering system has been derived from a type of steering that is in common use with professional inland waterways
vessels. Because many pleasure craft are already equipped with a manual hydraulic steering system, this VETUS “Follow-Up” steering system
can be easily added to enable remote control from any convenient position on board.
By simply turning the steering handle, the rudder
will exactly follow the angle of the handle. Returning the handle to the mid position will also return the rudder to midships. Manual wheel
steering can be resumed at any time by simply switching the system off. In principle, the VETUS “Follow-Up” steering system is suitable for
boats of 6 - 20 metres LOA.
This hand held “follow-up” control has the same
function as the fixed control handle shown above.
The control is supplied with a 3m spiralled cable with
connection plug and socket. The mobile hand held
control can only be used in addition to the fixed control. |

Electro-Hydraulic Pump
A VETUS electro-hydraulic pump (EHP) consists of a reversible electric motor, an oil pump, built-in
pressure relief valves and a small reservoir for the hydraulic oil. Models EHPA, EHPB and EHPC are
provided with an axial plunger pump, with integrated non-return valves and a by-pass valve. Models
EHPD and EHPE feature a gear type pump with integrated non-return valves and a by-pass valve.
The direction of rotation of the pump is electrically controlled. |

Rudders made of Stainless Steel
These VETUS rudders have a blade made of stainless steel. They
are manufactured in two different models. The blade sides are
polished and need no additional finishing. Each rudder comes
complete with a rudder arm (see picture), to which a VETUS
hydraulic steering cylinder can be connected. A RUDDER GLAND
(TYPE HENKO ONLY) MAY BE SUPPLIED AS AN EXTRA. The
stainless steel rudder stock is provided with a hole, to facilitate
the fitting of an emergency tiller. |
