VETUS Bow Thruster Panel with Joystick, Time Lapse

The VETUS bow-thruster joystick panel gives helm control for a compatible VETUS bow or stern thruster. Quick connectors support BP29-series wiring harnesses, while daisy-chain capability allows additional control panels to be added for boats with multiple operating stations.

Built-in safeguards include protection against accidental or unauthorized operation, a panel-power indicator, control-circuit overload protection, and a time-lapse function when reversing thruster direction. The panel also switches off automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity, helping prevent the control system from being left energized unintentionally.

Confirm thruster model, BP29 harness compatibility, panel cutout, electrical supply, and helm location before installation. Follow VETUS wiring and commissioning instructions, including any multi-station configuration. After installation, test both thrust directions, reversal delay, automatic shutdown, indicators, and overload protection before relying on the system.
