POWER HYDRAULICS
STABILIZERS

VETUS proudly presents the ROLL STABILIZER

• “Plug and Play” installation for steel, GPR and aluminum vessels
• Greatly reduces pitch and roll
• Available as a stand alone system
• Easy to install in an existing hydraulic system
• Automatic centering
• Fully automatic operation
• The fin movement is automatically adjusted according to the degree of damping selected, the speed
of the vessel and the sea state
• All electronic components are solid state
• Also suitable for refit projects

What are fin stabilizers?

Fin stabilizers are fins mounted beneath the waterline of a yacht which are installed on both sides of the vessel at a
downward angle. The VETUS stabilizer fins are computer controlled and have the ability to change their angle via
a hydraulic system to counteract roll caused by waves or wind.

What do stabilizers do?

Rolling motion is reduced considerably by the use of VETUS stabilizers, resulting in comfort, steady steering even
under autopilot and reduced risk of seasickness.

Motor yachts over 10 metre length are frequently used on open waters. VETUS stabilizers are the ideal solution for
dramatically reducing the rolling movement of these vessels in bad weather or in heavy swells.

VETUS stabilizers consist of a hydraulically actuated pair of fins that are fitted to a vessel’s port and starboard
midships sections underwater. They are controlled by an on board gyroscope and automatically react to the rolling
movement of the vessel to create a damping effect.

Main advantages
• Increase comfort, stability on the autopilot and reduced risk of sea sickness
• Rain or shine, you will use your boat more often
• Higher boat value

Can I add VETUS stabilizers to my boat?

VETUS stabilizers are designed for boats between 10 and 23 m long
to reduce the rolling movement in bad weather or in heavy swells.

A VETUS customer support team member is available to you by

email, at no cost, to discuss your vessel configuration and options.

You will receive our recommendations for your stabilizer system

within 48 hours of all information being received and finalized.

VETUS can also design and supply the complete hydraulic system
if required.

Installation options
Available as a stand alone system
• Connected to a belt driven hydraulic pump with bearing support and pulley
or
• Connected to a hydraulic pump fitted to a SAE-A PTO on the engine or
gearbox

Our stabilizers are also easy to integrate into existing systems

• By adding a VETUS hydraulic control unit (HT1024)
between the current hydraulic system and the VETUS stabilizers

Automatic centreing
Putting the gearbox in neutral or astern, the fins will centre
automatically. This reduces drag and makes manoeuvring in the
marina a lot easier.
