SEP100 PRO™ IP tunnel bow/stern thruster 12V
100kg variable thrust, ignition protection
-
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. -
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.
-
HOLD-FUNCTION
Docking your vessel has never been easier. With a single press of a button, you can rely on your thrusters to maintain the boat controlled against the dock while stepping off to secure the lines — making docking truly a one-person job.
-
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.
-
WATERPROOF HOUSING
Waterproof housing for use in areas exposed to water.
-
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 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.
Item code: SEP100/185T-12IP
SEP100 PRO™ Ignition Protection with variable speed control is suitable for boats between 35-55 feet. With its 100-116 kg thrust, you get a safe and reliable thruster installation in boats with gasoline engines. Can be mounted in the bow and stern.
SE100 is the most powerful thruster available in the popular 185 mm tunnel. The thruster offers great installation flexibility as it can be mounted at any angle on the tunnel. Additionally, the electric motor can be rotated 90 degrees on the motor bracket.
It is galvanically isolated and features Sleipner's patented IPC technology for intelligent power control and safety. See more of the product features below.
Sleipner's tunnel thrusters are the world's top-selling thrusters resulting from over 35 years of development. Over the years, our tunnel thrusters have been installed in over 350,000 boats worldwide.
Bow and stern thruster
They are fitted either in a tunnel through the boat's bow or into a stern tunnel at the boat's stern. Available as standard version (on/off), PRO™ version (variable speed control), and IP PRO™ version (with ignition protection and variable speed control), extending from 20 kg to 300 kg of thrust.
Sleipner's stern tunnels are designed with solid and durable fiberglass to enhance the thruster's performance and are installed effortlessly in the boat's transom. Additional cowls (sold separately) allow installation in boats with shallow drafts or obstructions on the stern.
The electric motors, solenoids, patented IPC control system, and mechanical parts of the propulsion system are all custom designed and built - utilizing the extensive experience gained through years of leadership in the global thruster market.
Docking has never been easier
Our PRO™ thruster models are equipped with speed control, giving you full variable control of the thruster. The speed control is more intuitive for you as a boater and makes for a quieter and more relaxed maneuver. If you install a dual thruster system (bow and stern), you get the revolutionary hold function, pinning the boat to the pier while docking.
Ignition protection
We offer ignition-protected thruster models to provide a reliable and safe installation in locations where the thruster motor may be exposed to water or gasoline fumes.
An additional advantage is that electric parts that could obtain water damage are also covered and protected, making these thrusters the ideal choice for stern thruster installations where ensuring that the thruster will always remain dry is difficult. The IP versions have all the benefits and proven reliability of our standard tunnel thrusters.

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.
