Bow thruster shear pins & misc spares

Large View

Vetus electric bow thrusters have a drive pin located behind the propeller, which is designed to fracture if the propeller becomes jammed by debris, thus protecting the gearbox from damage.

Similarly, some bow thrusters also have a shear pin located under the motor, which enables the pin to be changed without having to lift the boat out of the water.

We are able to supply drive pins and shear pins for all Vetus bow thrusters: if you are unsure which you require, please contact us.
