It is fitted either in a tunnel through the boat's bow or into a stern tunnel at the boat's stern using a stern thruster kit (sold separately). Remote control is a popular accessory. See some of the significant product features below.
FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION
Sleipner offers installation flexibility to work with the space you have. Our thruster models allow installation at any angle on the tunnel, tailored to fit any space available in your vessel.power supply
Powered by direct current.FLEXIBLE COUPLING
Flexible coupling protects the product’s driveline by compensating for misalignment between the shafts of the electric motor and gearleg.SPLASH-PROOF
This product is manufactured for installations in environments that may experience moist or occasional splashes.ANALOG
Sleipner analog signal cables with Plug & Play connectors are color-coded to match the wiring diagrams with high-quality connectors to ensure a correct installation.OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Automatic detection of overheating of internal components. When an unsafe temperature is detected, the unit is automatically shut off to prevent overheating.IGNITION PROTECTION
Our ignition-protected products are compliant with ISO 8846 and ensure gasoline or other flammable fumes cannot enter or be ignited.GALVANIC SEPARATION
Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION
The thruster gearleg is pre-filled for lifetime lubrication and sealed using a long-time mechanical seal with ceramic and carbon surfaces for ultimate security against water intrusion.TWIN PROPELLERS
Twin propellers can provide more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. We use this system in our mid-range models, where high thrust is required in small tunnel diameters. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the thrusters of choice among boatbuilders worldwide.Q-PROP™
The Q-PROP™ has measured noise reductions of up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining exceptional efficiency. Some thruster models even see an increase in thrust power.- The expected noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
- Upgrade kits are available for most Sleipner thruster models with special adaptors
INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL
Sleipner's patented intelligent power control provides a minimal delay between drive directions to reduce wear of the mechanical parts while monitoring solenoid functions. In the case of a solenoid lock-in, the thruster will automatically stop without extra user action or controlling the main switch.Dimensions
