SE100 24V Electric Bow Thruster

The Sleipner SE100 bow thruster is designed to operate at 24V. It is essential to ensure that your onboard electrical system is compatible with this voltage.

For installation of the Sleipner SE100 bow thruster, a tunnel with an internal diameter of 185 mm is required.

The Sleipner SE100 bow thruster delivers a maximum thrust of 116 kg at 24V, ensuring efficient maneuverability for your boat.

The Sleipner SE100 bow thruster is ideally designed for vessels ranging from 12 to 17 meters (or 35 to 55 feet).

Yes, the Sleipner SE100 bow thruster can be upgraded with the PRO™ variable speed control system. This option allows for smoother, quieter, and more precise maneuvering, and includes a hold function for twin systems.

The Q-Prop technology uses a five-blade, skewed propeller, which reduces operating noise by 20 to 40% in real-world installations. This design also maintains or improves the thruster’s thrust performance.

The Sleipner SE100 bow thruster is equipped with a 6 kW motor, which is equivalent to approximately 8.05 horsepower (Hp).

The Sleipner SE100 24V bow thruster is designed for vessels 12 to 17 meters (35 to 55 feet) in length. It delivers 116 kg of thrust at 24V DC, with a power output of 6.3 kW (8.4 HP) at 21V DC. It is installed in an 185 mm diameter tunnel and weighs 31 kg.

This model features Q-PROP™ technology, using five skewed five-blade propellers to reduce noise levels by 20 to 40% in real-world use. Its twin-propeller propulsion system delivers greater thrust compared to single-propeller setups for the same tunnel diameter.

For the installation of the Sleipner SE100 24V bow thruster, here are the technical requirements:

The thruster is designed to be installed in an 185 mm diameter tunnel. The electric motor can be oriented at 90 degrees on its bracket, and the thruster can be mounted at any angle within the tunnel, providing installation flexibility. A minimum battery capacity of 400 CCA DIN is recommended for 24V systems. A recommended fuse of 325A (SMANL325) is required for system protection.

The Sleipner SE100 24V thruster integrates several features to ensure safety and durability:

Intelligent Power Control (IPC): This system minimizes the delay between direction changes, reducing mechanical wear and monitoring solenoids. If a solenoid is blocked, the thruster stops automatically.

Overheat protection: The system shuts down automatically before any damage occurs due to high internal temperatures.

Galvanic isolation: All underwater components are electrically isolated from the onboard system to eliminate stray currents and prevent corrosion.

Sealed gearcase lubrication: The gearcase is factory-lubricated with ceramic and carbon seals for extended service life.

Flexible coupling: A flexible coupling protects the propeller shaft by compensating for minor misalignments.

Safe startup: Activation requires two buttons to prevent accidental starts, and the thruster automatically deactivates after a period of inactivity.

The thruster is also designed to withstand splashes.
