Easy docking, no drag, less noiseEven for the more experienced skipper, it can be difficult to manoeuvre the boat in harsh wind conditions and strong currents.The new line of retractables VETUS thrusters can be placed in shallow parts of the hull and will not disturb its smooth lines.This low drag solution will make your docking experience easier, faster and just plain more enjoyable. A retractable thruster has the following advantagesOptimum forward placement in the bow, while maintaining depth by deploymentLess noise and vibration as it is not directly connected to the hullOptimum tunnel length with minimal lossesVirtually no marine growth, as there is no light when thruster is in retracted and closed positionMay be placed in the stern in (both sailing and motor) boats where it is not possible to install a tunnel thrusterLess drag as the lid is flush to the hullSmall dimensionsSuitable for power vessels up to 20 metres
