Sleipner SE100 12 Volt Tunnel Stern Thruster Kit

Sleipner SE100 12 Volt Tunnel Stern Thruster Kit

Sleipner SE100 12 Volt Tunnel Stern Thruster Kit are a powerful and compact marine manoeuvring system designed for boats between 35 and 55 feet, delivering 100-116 kg of thrust. It is installed within a 185 mm diameter tunnel and features advanced safety and performance technologies.

Sleipner SE100 12 Volt Tunnel Stern Thruster Kit Key Features

• Powerful Thrust: The unit provides between 100 kg (at 10.5V) and 116 kg (at 12V) of thrust, making it a highly efficient option for its compact 185 mm tunnel diameter.
• Twin Propellers (Q-Props): The system uses five-bladed, skew-design twin propellers which provide high thrust while significantly reducing noise levels compared to conventional designs.
• Intelligent Power Control (IPC): This patented safety feature monitors solenoid functions, minimizes the delay when changing drive directions, and automatically stops the thruster in the event of a locked-in solenoid (run-away situation).
• Galvanic Separation: All underwater components are galvanically isolated from the boat's electrical system, which eliminates stray currents and prevents corrosion.
• Sealed Drive Leg: The gear leg is pre-filled with oil and sealed for lifetime lubrication using a long-life mechanical seal with ceramic and carbon surfaces, protecting against water intrusion.
• Flexible Installation: The electric motor can be rotated 90 degrees on its bracket, allowing for installation at any angle within the tunnel to fit the available space in the vessel.
• Kit Inclusions: The complete kit typically includes the thruster motor unit, a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) stern tunnel, a wiring loom, fuse, fuse holder, battery disconnecting switch, and a choice of control panel (joystick or touch panel).
• Safety Features: The system includes overheat protection, automatically shutting off the motor if high temperatures are detected to prevent damage. 

Sleipner SE100 12 Volt Tunnel Stern Thruster Kit FAQs4

• What is the actual thrust output of the Sleipner SE100 12 Volt Thruster ? The thruster is tested to provide 100 kg of thrust at 10.5V. When operated at 12V, it delivers approximately 116 kg of thrust.
• What size boat is this thruster suitable for? It is generally suitable for boats between 35 and 55 feet (12 to 17 meters).
• What is the required tunnel diameter? The required internal diameter for the tunnel is 185 mm (7.28 inches).
• Can the thruster motor be installed at an angle? Yes, the electric motor can be mounted at any angle on the tunnel, and can be rotated 90° on its bracket for installation flexibility. If positioned more than 30 degrees off vertical, it must be supported separately.
