Installing an electric bow or stern thruster in a petrolengine boat can be dangerous, due to the possibility of the electric motor igniting fuel vapour. To eliminate the risk, this special housing will shield the bow or stern thruster from potentially explosive vapour.
The housing enables the thruster to comply with the ISO 8846 Marine Ignition Protection Standard. The set also includes a watertight (IP65) housing for the electric motor and relays, together with all required seals, electrical connectors, fastening components and an automatic fuse for the control loom. Available in 12 and 24 volt.
