Vetus bow thruster gearbox for 75kgf

Part code: VP000251 - genuine replacement part

Replacement gearbox (tailpiece) for Vetus 75kgf bow thruster.

This is the version featuring the original tailpiece design. It is a sealed gearbox, but has a short pipe sticking up which is sealed with a bolt.

This is the same as the gearbox as supplied with BOW75, BOW75B and BOW75C Vetus bow and stern thrusters, with the design changing for BOW75D.

This tailpiece can, however, be used with a BOW75D if required, but an additional hole would need to be drilled into the tunnel to fit the oil pipe.

It is supplied complete with an anode fitted and has the curved adaptor plate, two spacing washers, Allen bolts, spring washers and gaskets. 

Key specifications:

  • Designed for 185mm tunnel installations
  • Splined input shaft 
  • Suitable for Vetus BOW75 thrusters

Please note the propeller is not included with this.

Always check compatibility with your specific bow thruster model before ordering - if you are unsure, please contact us to confirm suitability.
