Vetus Thrust Diverter for Stern Thruster, Tunnel 9 7/8 "

$493.00 USD $580.00

Description

The Vetus Thrust Diverter for Stern Thruster, Tunnel 9 7/8" #SDKIT250 is designed to maximize the efficiency of your boat's stern thruster by ensuring the propeller remains well submerged below the waterline. It's a great solution for boats with shallow stern drafts or those with equipment that might obstruct water flow through the tunnel. This diverter kit is a straightforward addition to existing setups, enhancing thrust power without complicated modifications.

Features & Benefits

  • Ensures optimal submersion of the propeller for maximum thrust efficiency.
  • Prevents air suction into the tunnel, reducing power loss.
  • Compatible with stern thrusters with tunnel diameters of 150, 185, 250, or 300 mm.
  • Easy retrofitting with stainless steel fastenings included.
  • Made from durable GRP material.

This extension kit includes two shells crafted from durable GRP, complete with necessary stainless steel fastenings, and is compatible with stern thrusters with tunnel diameters of 150, 185, 250, or 300 mm. It's particularly useful for houseboats and other vessels with shallow drafts at the stern, ensuring both tunnel openings stay below the waterline to prevent thrust loss. The kit is designed for easy retrofitting to existing installations, making it a convenient upgrade for enhancing your boat's performance.

Usage

Ideal for use in boats where the stern draft is too shallow to fully submerge the thruster, and where other transom-mounted equipment might obstruct water flow. Perfect for houseboats and similar vessels needing improved thrust capabilities.
