VETUS Set spare 6 blade prop D 185mm f/BOW45/80, until '98

The VETUS Set spare 6 blade prop D 185mm for BOW45/80, until '98 is a direct-replacement propeller designed for bow thrusters on vessels equipped with VETUS bow thruster systems through 1998. After years running bowthrusters in tight anchorages and marina basins, you know how critical a properly functioning bow thruster becomes—especially when wind and current test your boat handling. This spare propeller set ensures you maintain peak maneuverability and eliminates downtime caused by damaged or worn thruster blades.

The six-blade design maximizes thrust efficiency across a wider operational envelope, delivering responsive, predictable control in challenging conditions—from tight cross-dock approaches to beam-wind maneuvering. The 185mm diameter profile is engineered to match the exact displacement and load characteristics of VETUS BOW45 and BOW80 thruster housings, ensuring balanced rotation and minimal vibration transmission to the hull. This precision fit protects bearing integrity and extends overall thruster service life, a benefit any serious boater recognizes when factoring total ownership costs.

Owners of pre-1999 vessels with VETUS bow thrusters will find this spare set invaluable for maintenance planning—whether addressing seasonal wear or keeping emergency backup blades on hand for extended cruising. Installation is straightforward on compatible BOW45 and BOW80 units; verify your thruster model and manufacturing year before purchase to confirm compatibility. Weighing just 0.6 pounds and compact at 8 × 2 × 8 inches, this prop set stores easily in engine compartments or crew quarters, ready for quick replacement when needed.
