Introduction
The centre line of the tunnel of a standard stern thruster instal-
lation must be at least 1x the diameter of the tunnel below the
waterline for an optimum result.
The use of this extension kit for stern thrusters makes it pos-
sible for the tunnel tube to be less than 1x the diameter of the
tunnel below the waterline.
Installation
The extension kit for stern thrusters must be fitted according to
the general instructions for stern thrusters (020550) apart from
the following exceptions.
Positioning the stern thruster
1
When choosing the position for fitting the stern thruster
the centre line of the tunnel must be at least 'X' mm below
the waterline for an optimum result.
See the main dimensions drawing in this manual for

holes. Draw and drill 6 holes ø 7 mm in the stern thruster
tunnel.

Fit the shells using the bolts, self-locking nuts and wash-
ers supplied.
Installation in a houseboat
A Vetus stern thruster in combination with the extension kit can
