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.
-
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.
-
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: SXP80/185T-12V
SXP80 PRO™ with variable speed control is an efficient stern thruster designed for boats up to 48 feet with twin stern drives. The thruster provides 80-96 kg thrust, and its special cowls redirect water flow past the stern drives.
The unit is delivered fully assembled, wired, and sealed in a waterproof box and only requires a small hole in the boat's transom to attach power- and control cables.
Remote control is a popular accessory. See some of the important product and safety features below.
Sleipner's SX stern thrusters are the perfect choice for boats equipped with twin stern drives. The unit features special cowls that divert water flow past the stern drive legs, ensuring excellent performance. Thanks to its hydrodynamic shape, short flow channel, and optimal placement, the unit boasts minimal water resistance, allowing for high speeds without any perceptible loss.
Installation is a breeze, as the SX stern thruster is delivered preassembled, wired, and sealed in a waterproof box. Only a small hole in the boat's transom is required to attach the power and control cables. The streamlined design of the unit reduces noise emission by about 80%, thanks to its external placement of the engine, which also eliminates potential border cavitations.
Moreover, the external placement of the unit provides more efficient water cooling, resulting in a much longer duration per cycle compared to traditional bow and stern thrusters. With ignition protection as standard, installing the SX stern thruster in petrol-powered boats is safe. Trust Sleipner's SX stern thrusters for reliable and safe performance on the water.
