Product details

Precision maneuvering made easy

The powerful bow and stern thruster BOW9512D is the ideal solution for all sportsboat or yacht owners who want to improve their manoeuvring. Whether docking, undocking, or navigating tight harbour areas – even under demanding conditions, you will always retain full control.
Thanks to modern technology, sophisticated design, and robust construction, this 12 V thruster delivers reliable performance and utmost precision for safe and confident maneuvers in maritime use.

Powerful design for demanding water sports applications

The bow and stern thruster BOW9512D features impressively strong performance: 5.7 kW power and a thrust force of 950 N (95 kgf) provide reliable support when maneuvering sports boats and yachts.

Reliable and safe for everyday boating

As a 12 V system, the thruster requires a fuse of 425 A and a suitable battery of approximately 220 Ah (depending on cable length). The robust construction and use of high-quality components ensure durability, easy maintenance, and high operational safety.

Maritime comfort meets technical accuracy

The design of the BOW9512D features installation with a flexible coupling system and low-noise, low-vibration gear, minimizing noise generation and reducing vibrations. The robust plastic propeller is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and provides consistent thrust in both directions.

Technical details

Designed for boats with a length of approximately 13 to 15 m, the bow and stern thruster can be flexibly integrated into various water sports applications. The tunnel has an inner diameter of 185 mm and a length between 370 mm and 740 mm, allowing for flexible installation. Weighing only about 29 kg, the system is lightweight and easy to use.

Stern thruster
Delivery in order and the product is great. No problems with the installation. The big advantage with Vetus is that I was able to use the existing connectors and cables to replace my old thruster.

fast delivery, proven quality
After my bow thruster broke shortly before the holiday, SVB helped me quickly and easily. The price was also one of the cheapest online. I can only recommend the new BSR, it's significantly quieter than its predecessor thanks to the new clutch and works perfectly with the old controller, and the connections have stayed the same.
