    S-LINK™

    S-Link™ is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel.

    • Compact and waterproof plugs
    • Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
    • Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install
  • Q-PROP™ Q-PROP™

    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
  • PRO™ PRO™

    PRO™

    A PRO™ thruster system enables you to apply only the necessary power to complete your maneuver. The variable speed control eliminates the noise associated with standard on/off thrusters.

    The system also includes a practical hold-function. In a dual system (bow and stern) a single press of a button will keep you alongside the docks - making docking truly a one-person job. 

    Speed controlled thrusters are the best choice for joystick interaction.​

    IGNITION PROTECTION

    Ignition-protected products are compliant with ISO 8846 to operate safely in hazardous environments where gasoline vapors or other flammable gases might be present. 

  • OVERHEAT PROTECTION OVERHEAT PROTECTION

    OVERHEAT PROTECTION

    When high temperatures are detected, On/off thrusters are automatically shut off to prevent overheating. PRO™ thrusters with speed control provide extended run-time by derating power to maintain temperature within safe levels.

    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.

    FLEXIBLE COUPLING

    Flexible coupling protects the product’s driveline by compensating for minor misalignments between the shafts of the thruster motor and gearleg.

    TWIN COUNTER-ROTATING PROPELLERS

    TWIN COUNTER-ROTATING PROPELLERS

    Two counter-rotating propellers offer the most thrust at a good performance ratio in a minimal tunnel diameter. This system is used in our larger thrusters for maximum power. Our twin-counter thruster range is the favorite among leading boatbuilders in high-end yachts.

Item code: E170/250TC-48V

The E170 is a highly efficient, compact, lightweight thruster suitable for boats between 50-70 feet. The integrated inverter for variable speed control makes for a quick and easy installation.

E170 has the new 6-phase PMSM synchronous motor made explicitly for marine thruster use, delivering performance and runtime never seen before in a DC thruster. 

  • Up to 50% lighter
  • Compact design 
  • Industry-leading runtime 
  • Active air cooling
