BOW
THRUSTERS

SMOOTH SIDE THRUST. PRECISE MANOEUVRING.

PETEC BT-Series hydraulic bow thrusters deliver smooth bi-directional side thrust, with variable speed control and quickly reversible rotation to help position your vessel accurately. Explore the BT-110-W and BT-110-F bow mounting configurations.

ENGINEERED FOR VESSEL MANOEUVRING

Built To Perform.
Designed For Precise Control.

The hydraulically driven PETEC BT-110 bow thruster is designed for vessels requiring reliable, smooth side thrust in both directions. Variable speed control and quickly reversible rotation help the operator manoeuvre the vessel into the desired position.

A wear strip around the propeller reduces clearance between the tunnel and blades and helps limit cavitation effects, improving efficiency and performance. Quality materials and components help minimise maintenance requirements, while front and back access to the drive unit makes repairs easier and helps reduce downtime.

BT-SERIES Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered.

What is the difference between the BT-110-W and BT-110-F?

Both are shown as bow mounting configurations. The brochure lists the BT-110-W at 110 hp, with a 4-blade Ø23 in propeller, Ø24 in tunnel, 915 mm tunnel length and an approximate mass of 300 kg. The BT-110-F specification fields are blank; contact PETEC to confirm its values and suitability.

How does the BT-Series help with vessel manoeuvring?

The hydraulically driven BT-110 provides smooth bi-directional side thrust. Variable speed control and quickly reversible rotation allow the operator to adjust thrust and position the vessel accurately.

What does the propeller wear strip do?

The wear strip around the propeller area reduces clearance between the tunnel and blades and helps limit cavitation effects. The brochure describes this as improving efficiency and performance.

Where can I view the BT-Series technical drawings?

Use the BT-110-W and BT-110-F technical drawing links in the model cards above. These drawings are taken from the PETEC brochure. Ask our engineering team to confirm dimensions, mounting arrangements and hydraulic requirements for your installation.

How is the drive unit accessed for maintenance?

The BT-110 is designed with front and back access to the drive unit to make repairs easier and help reduce downtime. Contact PETEC with your model and equipment details for advice on maintenance and repairs.
