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™
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™
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
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.
-
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.
-
SPLASH-PROOF
This product is manufactured for installations in environments that may experience moist or occasional splashes.
-
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
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

A legacy that commits
We’ve lived and worked with the unruly sea for a hundred years. That’s why we develop important features that enables a boat to handle the sea better – that enable you to enjoy your boat, at anchor and at full speed. That is why you wanted a boat, isn’t it?
-
Beautiful engineering
The technology in our solutions is world-class. We know, because we’ve developed it ourselves, just as we manufacture every solution, and follow them until their fixed to a hull, ourselves. This meticulous attention to detail is why your day out always will be better with a Sleipner aboard.
-
Worldwide service
We take pride in our solutions’ function throughout their lifespan. So, we never really let them out of sight, even when they’ve left for distant shores. Our global network is there to ensure continuous optimal function. You know what you get with a Sleipner, today and tomorrow.
