General rules and laws concerning safety and accident prevention
must always be observed.
Make sure that the user of the vessel is supplied with the owner’s manual.
2 Introduction
This manual give guidelines for installing a Vetus bow and/or stern
thruster from the BOW PRO series, model ‘BOWA0301.
The quality of installation will determine how reliably the bow and/or
stern thruster performs. Almost all faults can be traced back to errors
or inaccuracies during installation. It is therefore imperative that the
steps given in the installation instructions are followed in full during
the installation process and checked afterward.
Alterations made to the bow thruster by the user will void any li-
ability on the part of the manufacturer for any damages that may
result.
The actual thrust generated by the bow and/or stern thruster will
vary from vessel to vessel depending on the windage, the hull dis-
placement, and the shape of the underwater section.
The nominal thrust quoted can only be achieved under normal con-
ditions:
During use ensure the correct battery voltage is available.
The installation is carried out in compliance with the recommen-
dations given in this installation instruction, in particular with re-
gard to:
- Suciently large diameter of the battery cables so that voltage
drop is reduced to a minimum.
- The manner in which the tunnel has been connected to the
hull.
- Use of bars in the tunnel openings.
These bars should only be used where this is strictly necessary
(if sailing regularly in severely polluted water.)
- The bars must have been tted correctly.
note
The areas in which the electric motor(s) of the thruster(s) and
batteries are positioned must be dry and well ventilated.
note
Check for possible leaks immediately the boat is relaunched.

3 Installation recommendations
Several installation examples.
To achieve the optimum performance, po-
sition the thruster tunnel as far forward as
possible.
Set-up: 2 bow thrusters in a catamaran
If, in addition to controlling the movement
of the bow, the stern of the vessel is required
to move sideways, then a second thruster
may be installed at the stern.
For a planing boat the tunnel should, if pos-
sible, be so situated so that when the vessel
is planing it is above the water level thus
causing no resistance.
Installation of two bow thrusters in tandem
(for larger boats). In this case, depending on
weather conditions, one or both bow thrust-
ers may be used.
tip:
We do not advise tting 2 bow thrusters
into one tunnel; this does not result in
doubling the thrust!
When choosing the location for the thrust
tunnel, take the following into account for
optimum performance:
- The distance A shown in the drawing
must be at least 0.5 x D (where D is the
tunnel diameter).
- The length of the tunnel (distance B)
should be between 2 x D and 4 x D.

vetus® Installation instructions BOW PRO Series Thruster: BOWA0301
3.2 Positioning of the bow thruster in the thrust-tunnel
When determining the exact position of the bow thruster in the
thrust tunnel, the tailpiece MUST NOT protrude from the tunnel end.
The electric motor can be installed in various positions.
If the motor is set up horizontally or at an angle, support is absolutely
essential.
The electric motor must be positioned in such a way that it is always
well clear from the maximum bilge water level.
The propeller should preferably be situated on the centreline of the
vessel, but it must always be accessible from the outside.

3.3 Connection of thrust tunnel to ships hull
tip:
The manner, in which the thrust tunnel is connected to the hull,
has a great inuence on the actual performance of the bow
thruster and to the drag the hull experiences when underway.
Direct connection of the tunnel to the hull, without a fairing, pro-
duces reasonable results.
A The connection to the hull can be abrupt.
B It is better to make the connection rounded with radius ‘R’ of
about 0.1 x D.
C It is even better to use sloping sides ‘C’ with dimensions 0.1 to
0.15 x D.

Connection of the thrust tunnel to the ships hull with a fairing results
in lower hull-resistance during normal sailing.
If the connection of the thrust
tunnel and the boat's hull is to be
made with a sloped side, it should
be executed in accordance with
the drawing.
Make the sloped side (C) with a
length of 0.1 to 0.15 x D and make
sure that the angle between the
tunnel and the sloped side will be
identical to the angle between the
sloped side and the ships hull.

C The best connection is with a fairing using sloping side ‘C’ with
dimensions 0.1 to 0.15 x D.
Length ‘L of the fairing should be between 1 x D and 3 x D.
This fairing should be embodied in the ships hull in such a way that
the centreline of the fairing will correspond with the anticipated
shape of the bow-wave.

3.4 Grid bars in the tunnel openings
Although the thrust force will be adversely aected, grid bars may be
placed into the tunnel openings, for protection of the thruster.
In order to limit the negative eect of this on the thrust and on hull
resistance during normal operation as much as possible, the follow-
ing must be taken into account:
110 mm
2 x
The bars must have a rectangular cross-section.
Do not t round bars.
The bars must overlap a certain amount.
The bars must be installed so they are perpendicular to the expected
waveform.

Polyester thrust tunnel:
Resin: The resin used for the polyester thrust tunnel is Isophtalic
polyester resin (Norpol Pl 2857).
Pre-treatment: The outside of the tunnel must be roughened. Re-
move all of the top surface down to the glass-bre. Use a grinding
disc for this.
Important: After the tunnel been sawn to length, treat the end of
the tube with resin. This will prevent water seeping in.
Laminating: Apply a coat of resin as the rst coat. Lay on a glass-
bre mat and impregnate with resin. Repeat this procedure until
you have built up a sucient number of layers.
A polyester thrust tunnel should
be nished as follows:
Roughen the hardened resin/
glass-bre. Apply a top coat of
resin.
Treat the side of the tunnel
which comes into contact
with water with epoxy paint
or 2-component polyurethane
paint.
Then apply anti-fouling treat-
ment if required.
3.5 Installation of the thrust tunnel
Drill 2 holes in the hull, where the
centreline of the thrust tunnel will
be, in accordance with the diam-
eter of the marking tool.

Pass the marking tool (home-made)
through both pre-drilled holes and

3.6 Drilling the holes in the thrust-tunnel
Mark the installation position of the bow thruster by means of the
intermediate ange.
Use the drill pattern supplied, to determine the correct position of
the holes to be drilled.
Important: The pattern of the holes must be positioned precisely on
the centreline of the tunnel.
Consult the template for the dimensions of the holes to be drilled.
Drill the holes through the thrust tunnel and take care that the holes
are free of burrs.
3.7 Protection of the bow thruster against corrosion
To prevent corrosion problems, do not use copper based anti-foul-
ing. Cathodic protection is a ‘must’ for the protection of all metal
parts under water and the bow thruster is supplied with a zinc anode
for this purpose.
Corrosion of a steel or aluminium thrust tunnel can be reduced by
ensuring that the tail piece is completely insulated from the thrust-
tunnel.
NOTE: The gaskets supplied are already electrically insulated. How-
ever the bolts and the shaft need to be tted with insulation mate-
rial, for example nylon bushes.

4.1 Introduction
note
The areas in which the electric motor(s)
of the bow thruster(s) and the batter-
ies are positioned must be dry and well
ventilated.
For overall dimensions see drawing, page
163.
The bow thruster is supplied in parts as
shown.
4.2 Installation tailpiece and intermediate ange
Ensure that the plastic shim plate (1) has been positioned on the
tail piece.
Place one packing (2) between the tail piece and the tunnel.
Apply a sealant (e.g. polyurethane*) or silicone) between the tail
piece and packing, and between the packing and the tunnel wall.
Place the tail piece in the hole in the tunnel.
Any extra packings used should be ones capable of justifying the
tail piece.
*) e.g. Sikaex®-292.
Grease the hole of the intermediate ange and position this
ange.
Grease the threads of the bolts with outboard gear grease *) be-
fore inserting and tightening them.

The total battery capacity must be sucient for the size of the bow
thruster; see the table.
See page 174 for the applicable battery capacity.
The minimum battery capacity is specied in the table; with a lar-
ger battery capacity, the bow thruster will perform even better!
We recommend Vetus maintenance free marine batteries; these can
be supplied in the following sizes: 55 Ah, 70Ah, 90 Ah, 108 Ah, 120
Ah, 143 Ah, 165 Ah, 200 Ah and 225 Ah.
We also recommend that each bow thruster is powered by its own
separate battery or batteries. This allows the battery bank to be
placed as close as possible to the bow thruster; the main power ca-
bles can then be short thus preventing voltage losses caused by long
cables.
Always use batteries whose type and capacity are compatible for
their use.

note
Be sure to only use sealed’ batteries if the batteries are located
in the same compartment as the bow thruster.
Vetus ‘SMF’ and AGM’ maintenance-free batteries are ideal for
this application.
Batteries that are not sealed’ may produce small amounts of ex-
plosive gas during the charging cycle.
5.2 Main power cables (battery cables)
The minimum diameter must be sucient for the bow thruster's cur-
rent draw in use and the voltage drop must not be more than 10% of
the voltage supplied, consult the table on page 174.
The minimum wire cross-section is given in the table; the bow thrust-
er will perform even better with a larger cross-section!
note
The maximum operating time and the thrust, as specied by
the technical details in your bow thruster installation and op-
erating manual, are based on the recommended battery ca-
pacities and battery connection cables.
5.3 Main switch
see page 172
The main switch must be tted to the positive cable’.
The Vetus battery switch type BATSW250 is a suitable switch, which
is also available in a 2-pole version, Vetus part number BATSW250T.
5.4 Fuses
Main power fuse 1, see page 172
A fuse must be included in the ‘positive cable for the main switch, as
close to the battery as possible.
This fuse protects the on-board power cabling from short circuits.
For all fuses we can suppy a fuse holder, Vetus part no.: ZEHC100.
See page 174 for the size of the fuse to be used.

5.5 Connecting the main power cables and conguring the bow and/or stern thruster
Make sure that no other electrical parts come loose when con-
necting the electric cables.
Check all electrical connections after 14 days. Electrical parts
(such as bolts and nuts) may come loose as a result of uctua-
tions in temperature.
note
Make sure that the voltage stated on the motor type plate is
identical to the boat's power supply voltage.
Take o the cover.
Feed the battery cables through the input glands in the cover.
Apply cable terminals to the battery cables and connect the ca-
bles to the motor controller.
Make sure that the cable terminal on the negative cable cannot
cause a short circuit to the lowest of the three motor connecti-
ons on the controller!
note
The tightening torque of bolts in the motor regulator is a
maximum of 16 Nm (12 ft-lbf).
The drawing shows how the cables must be laid in order for the
cover to be replaced again.
Red
note
To allow the bow thruster or stern thruster to be distinguished
on the CAN bus, these must be configured appropriately.
Bow thruster
The configuration as supplied is for application as a bow thruster.
Stern thruster
Configure a stern thruster by cutting through the red wire as indica-
ted in the drawing.
Reinstall the cover and tighten the glands.
Main power fuse 2
In the connection unit, there is a main power fuse on the controller.
This fuse protects the controller and motor against short circuit/
overloading and it must remain present under all circumstances.
note
When replacing the fuse, the replacement must be of the same rat-
ing.
14 - 16 Nm
(10 - 12 ft-lbf)
For connection diagrams, see also page 172.

Implement the configuration for the helm station where the panel
is sited as in section 6.6.
If during test running it emerges that the movement of the boat
is opposite to the direction the joystick is moved in, this can be
modified as indicated in 6.7.
The illustrated operations must be performed on EACH panel in-
stalled.
6 Checking/test running and configuring the control panels
6.1 General
Switch on the main switch.
After switching on the power a beep will sound at each control panel
tted.
The system is now in stand-by. The panel or both the panels are not
activated.

WarninG
Do not test the bow thruster when the boat is out of the water
unless you are convinced that everyone is at a safe distance
from the propeller tunnel.
note
Keep to the following sequence for configuring the panels:
1) Configuring a panel for operating a bow or stern thruster (see sec-
tion 6.5),
2) Configuring a panel for the helm station where the panel is situa-
ted (see section 6.6),
3) Changing the thrust force direction (only if this proves necessary
during test running, see section 6.7).
