Wind force Beaufort Description Wind speed m/s Wind pressure N/m2 - (kgf/m2)
Calculation example
The boat has an overall length of 11 m and the lateral wind draft measures 18 m2. It is required that the bow can be controlled
easily when wind force Beaufort 5 applies. At wind force Beaufort 5, the wind pressure is: r= 41 to 74 N/m2,
i.e. p (average) = 60 N/m2.
The required torque reads:
T = wind pressure x wind draft x reduction factor x distance
centre of effort to pivot point, (=approx. half the ship’s length)
T = 60 N/m2 x 18 m2 x 0,75 x 11 m = 4455 Nm
2
The required thrust force is calculated as follows:
F= torque = 4455 Nm
= 420 N (42 kgf)
distance between centre of bow thruster and the pivot 10,5 m
point of the boat (with the transom as pivot of the boat)
The VETUS bow thruster which is most suitable for this particular vessel is the 55 kgf model
(25 kgf in the case of Beaufort 4 and 75 kgf in the case of Beaufort 6).
Always bear in mind that the effective performance of a bow thruster will vary with each particular boat, as the
displacement, the shape of the underwater section and the positioning of the bow thruster will always be variable
factors. As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that the stern thruster may be “one model smaller” than the bow
thruster model, as it has been calculated. Therefore, in this case a stern thruster type 35 kgf will be the correct model.
The effective voltage at the electric motor is dependent among The specified thrust force produced by VETUS electric bow
other things, on the battery capacity, the internal resistance of the thrusters is measured at an effective voltage of 10.5 or
battery cables, battery switch and fuse, the ambient temperature, 21 Volts at the electric motor, for 12 or 24 Volt installations
etc. respectively.
Practical tests demonstrate that acoustic material type ARM can help to reduce bow thruster noise. A coat of ARM compound, or
a layer of sheet material around the tunnel can reduce the sound level by about 3 dB(A). Two layers can create a reduction of up
to 7 dB(A).

“IGNITION PROTECTED”
Installing an electric bow or stern thruster in a petrol
(gasoline) engined boat can be very dangerous, due
to the possibility of the electric motor igniting fuel
vapour. In order to eliminate the risk, this special housing
will shield the bow or stern thruster from potentially
explosive vapour. The housing enables the thruster to
comply with the ISO 8846 Marine “ignition protection”
standard. In addition to the standard thruster, the set
consists of a watertight (IP65) housing for the electric
motor and relays, together with all required seals,
electrical connectors and fastening components. An
automatic fuse for the control loom is also supplied. This
can be reset externally without opening the housing.

As an option, it can also be interfaced with the VETUS follow-up steering system, so that the rudders can be operated too.
Intuitive operation of the joystick allows proportional control of the bow and stern thrusters; from very slow up to full
thrust, by gradually moving the joystick to port or starboard. By rotating the joystick, clockwise or anti-clockwise,
the boat will rotate in the appropriate direction. The engines are controlled by moving the joystick forwards or
backwards. Any combination of the joystick movement is possible to give you full and precise control.

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.
These power packs can be supplied in various executions: 12 or 24 Volt D.C and with different power capacities,
pump outputs, tank capacities, etc. They may also be supplied without the tank, in which case the system should be
connected to the main hydraulic tank on board. The power pack can be used to operate a maximum of 4 functions.
In the example shown here, the power pack is equipped with 4 NG6 base plates, to which standard VETUS solenoid
control units may be connected (HT1013, HT1014, HT102311, HT102312). For electrical operation of the power pack
and the control units, VETUS junction box HT 5034 is required together with one or more switches.

Stabilizers consist of a
hydraulically actuated pair of
fins that are fitted to a vessel’s
port and starboard midships
sections underwater. They
are controlled by an on board
gyroscope and automatically
react to the rolling movement
of the vessel to create a
damping effect. In other words,
rolling motion is reduced
considerably by the use of
VETUS stabilizers, resulting in
increased comfort and reduced
risk of seasickness.
Hydraulic hoses connect the hydraulic pump, the valve block and the hydraulic cylinders.
If there is no hydraulic system already on board, then VETUS can also supply the
components for this, see pages 141 and 142.

cylinders with associated valve block,
a control panel and a solid-state
gyroscope (which registers the vessels
movement). The standard power
supply is 24 Volt DC (a 12 volt to
24 volt transformer is available as
an option). STA24VA
• A pair of fins. The stock and blade are

nominal power that is equal to or greater than the maximum power demand, also if this maximum power demand is only for
short periods.

In the case of an alarm, the LED will light up and a buzzer is also activated. The inverter
and the control panel will show what type of alarm is concerned. The standard supply
of the control panel is complete with a cable of 5 m in length. Cables with a length
of 10 or 15 m are also available, as an option (product code: DTC10M or DTC15M,
respectively). Dimensions of the panel: 85 x 85 mm. Build-in depth: 40 mm
IVPANEL
The batteries can be charged in the fastest and most efficient way by both
the battery charger and/or the engine alternator. Fitting a separate battery
splitter (diode splitter) is no longer necessary, with the clear advantages of:
lower cost, faster installation time, fewer cables and more space.
In contrast with most other makes of diode splitter, this VETUS alternative
has negligible voltage drop, due to the use of mosfet transistors instead of
diodes (0.1 V at 25 A, instead of 0.7 V) and compensating the output of the
alternator is therefore unnecessary.
