Vetus
VETUS designs its gear as complete onboard systems, which is why a thruster, its tunnel and its control panel are specified together.

How to specify a VETUS system
Start with the system. A thruster needs a matched tunnel, control panel and cabling, so start in Vetus Thruster Systems and settle the thrust rating against your boat's windage and displacement before choosing accessories. Exhaust works the same way: waterlock volume is sized to the engine and the length of the run, not just the hose diameter.

Bilge duties are handled by the VETUS Submersible Bilge Pump 6600 L/h 12V. Charging and distribution sit in Vetus Power on Board, and Vetus Steering Systems holds 100 products for hydraulic and mechanical steering.
