This system makes the use of carbon brushes obsolete. As a result, the bow thruster is very quiet and has indefinite* run-time! The (AC) induction motor is controlled by the VETUS MCV motor controller. This in-house-engineered motor controller can handle both 12V, 24V and AC motors, making the new bow thruster suitable for almost all boats!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BOW PRO thruster is controlled by a proprietary CANBUS protocol. There are two different panels available for this thruster; one fully-proportional basic panel and one fully-proportional panel with lock-function. This allows the boat to be moored without the use of ropes. Letting passengers board your vessel have never been this easy! Evolution is to continue on a set of good properties, so there are similarities with its predecessors: remained are the very silent propeller blades and the streamlined tailpiece.

The Lewmar 18m control cable with pre-installed connectors steps in as the reliable link between your boat's helm and thruster motor, ensuring smooth, precise maneuvering every time you need it.

Shorter cables might force awkward routing; longer ones introduce resistance that dulls performance.

Start by powering down the thruster and tracing the old cable path. Use cable ties and conduit for protection against chafe points near props or rudders. The pre-crimped connectors mean no soldering: just plug into the thruster control box and joystick panel. Pro tip: Test continuity with a multimeter before finalizing runs to catch any pinched wires early.

At 6mm thick, it strikes the perfect balance: robust enough to handle thrust forces from vessels up to mid-size yachts, yet lightweight to avoid unnecessary hull stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 185mm OD x 6mm wall x 1500mm length—exact fit for seamless swaps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grade fiberglass reinforced for impact resistance against debris or accidental groundings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gel-coated exterior for UV protection and a sleek, low-maintenance surface that integrates flawlessly with your hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003ePerfect Fit for Lewmar 185TT Thrusters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDesigned exclusively for Lewmar's 185TT series tunnel thrusters, this tube slots into installations on boats with hull thicknesses up to 150mm. Whether you're retrofitting after storm damage or proactively replacing an aging tube showing delamination cracks, it maintains the system's 185mm tunnel diameter for optimal water flow and thrust efficiency. No modifications needed—just measure your existing setup to confirm length matches your custom tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eInstallation Insights from the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSwapping out a thruster tube demands precision, but pros appreciate the straightforward process. Start by powering down and draining the system. Remove the old tube by cutting away sealant and supporting the thruster unit to prevent misalignment. Clean the tunnel bedding area thoroughly to ensure a watertight bond. Apply marine-grade polyurethane sealant around the tube's flange, slide it into place, and torque down the mounting bolts evenly. Pro tip: Align the tube's internal guide for the shaft using a temporary jig to avoid binding during reassembly. Full operation typically resumes after a 24-hour cure time, letting you test in calm waters before full deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cblockquote\u003e\n    \"Replaced my 185TT tube after five seasons in the Med—installation took under four hours solo, and thrust feels brand new.

Flush the tunnel with freshwater after every 50 hours of operation to clear sand and marine growth. Avoid over-thrusting in shallow waters, as excessive prop torque can stress the fiberglass matrix. With proper care, this tube outlasts OEM expectations, keeping your docking maneuvers confident and precise season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eElevate Your Vessel's Reliability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eInvesting in the Lewmar 589302 isn't just about replacement—it's about reclaiming the effortless handling that drew you to tunnel thrusters. This tube addresses common pain points like erosion from prop wash or hull flex fatigue, delivering a upgrade that enhances overall system quietness and efficiency. Boat handlers report up to 15% better low-speed control post-install, making it a smart choice for anyone prioritizing safety and performance on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003csection

They're a game-changer for larger yachts or multi-hulled boats where prop walk and windage make handling tricky. Boat owners often report reduced docking times and fewer \"close calls\" after retrofitting one. The Lewmar 185 kit supports thrust up to 185 kgf, ideal for vessels in the 40-60 foot range, depending on hull design and load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features of the Lewmar 185 Tunnel Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Engineered GRP Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from high-strength glass-reinforced plastic, it resists corrosion from saltwater, UV exposure, and impacts—outlasting cheaper alternatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeamless Fit for 185TT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom dimensions match the 185mm tunnel diameter, ensuring minimal drag and maximum efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Mounting Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes flanges, seals, and fasteners for a watertight bond to your hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Profile Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sits flush to maintain hull integrity and aesthetics, without compromising structural strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Bonding Surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepped for marine adhesives like epoxy or polyurethane for rock-solid adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStreamlined Installation Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling a stern thruster tunnel requires careful planning, but Lewmar simplifies it. Start by confirming hull thickness (typically up to 100mm for this model) and access from inside the boat. Cut the precise tunnel opening using the included template, then bond the kit in place before wiring the thruster. Professionals recommend doing this during haul-out to avoid dry-docking later. Pair it with Lewmar's joysticks or proportional controls for intuitive operation—think fingertip precision even in gusty conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePro Tip: Position the tunnel 1.5-2 meters aft of the propeller to optimize water flow and avoid interference.

Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure, inspect seals annually, and check for debris buildup. Unlike metal tunnels, GRP won't galvanically corrode, saving you on zinc anodes. Boat yards praise its compatibility with anti-fouling paints, keeping propellers clean longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-World Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCatamaran owners love it for stabilizing at anchor in swells.
