Vetus expands its thruster series


Vetus has expanded its BOW PRO thruster series with two new larger Boosted models, the BOWB180 and BOWB210 launched. The latest models are energy efficient and have longer runtime, utilising features such as heading hold or position keeping.


A third connection on the motor leads the current to an internal charger, stepping up the voltage from 12 volt to 24 volt or 48 volt. This allows a 12V or 24V charging source, such as the propulsion engine alternator, to charge a 24V or 48V battery bank. The thruster battery bank is charged any time the thruster is not being used.


Innovative Volabo electric motor expect by year end


The company behind the innovative Volabo electric motor has announced that they have now put the motor into series production with the first units being available at the end of the year.


Developed and tested for both marine and automotive use, the Volabo electric motor uses a unique form of stator windings that allow much better torque and a more compact design. In marine form it will produce 80kW of peak power and a nominal power of 50kW and it is expected to match the Recreational Craft Directive requirements.


A feature of the Volabo motor is that it operates at 48 volts DC which the company claims is a ‘safe to touch’ voltage. This means that the wiring and clamping technology is much simpler and technicians do not require extensive training and certification.


The motor can be mounted either vertically or horizontally due to a reinforced end shield and this makes it suitable for connection to saildrives, outboard motors, shaft drives and z-drives. The 50kW power output has been selected to meet the propulsion requirements of a wide variety of craft including RIBs and smaller workboats where electric propulsion is in demand.
