Detailed description

The Sleipner SE80/185T-12IP thruster is a manoeuvring system designed for vessels 10 to 15 metres (35–48 ft). This model is an explosion-proof solution certified to ISO 8846, making it suitable for damp environments and boats with gasoline engines, thanks to a fully sealed composite housing protecting all electrical components.

Performance and Technical Specifications

This thruster delivers 96 kg of thrust at 12V DC and 80 kg at 10.5V DC. It operates on 12V DC and provides 4.4 kW (6 HP) of power at its nominal voltage of 10.5V. The nominal current draw is 530A at 12V. The internal tunnel has a diameter of 185 mm. The propulsion system uses twin propellers, and the thruster weighs 20 kg. The minimum recommended battery capacity is 1045 CCA (SAE) or 550 CCA (DIN), with a 400A fuse (ANL400) required. The minimum depth from the waterline to the top of the tunnel is 93 mm.

Integrated Technologies

The Sleipner SE80/185T-12IP features Q-PROP™ technology, using asymmetric five-bladed propellers that deliver high thrust while reducing noise levels by 20–40% in typical installations. The system also includes patented Intelligent Power Control (IPC), which minimizes delay between direction changes and monitors solenoids for enhanced safety, automatically stopping the thruster if a jam is detected. Overheat protection is built in, cutting power if internal temperatures rise too high. Wetted parts are galvanically isolated from the vessel’s electrical system to prevent corrosion. The gearcase lubrication is factory-sealed for life, using ceramic and carbon mechanical seals for long-lasting watertightness. A flexible coupling protects the propeller shaft by compensating for minor misalignments.

Installation and Flexibility

The SE80/185T-12IP thruster is designed for flexible installation, allowing mounting at any angle within the tunnel, and the electric motor can be rotated 90 degrees on its bracket. It is compatible with both bow thruster and stern thruster installations, the latter often using an external tunnel module. Installation is simplified with pre-wired harnesses, plug-and-play connectors, accessible battery cable terminals, and quick-swap propeller assemblies.

Expert opinion

« Analysis of the Sleipner SE80/185T-12IP thruster: safety and maneuverability »

The Sleipner SE80/185T-12IP is positioned as a strategic choice for recreational boaters seeking a reliable and safe bow thruster for vessels 10 to 15 meters long. Its ISO 8846 explosion-proof certification is a major asset, particularly for boats equipped with gasoline engines, where compliance with safety standards is critical to prevent risks associated with flammable vapors in engine compartments or wet areas.

The integration of Q-PROP™ technology is an important consideration for onboard comfort, significantly reducing perceived noise during maneuvers, which is appreciated during docking or marina transits. The Intelligent Power Control (IPC) system is a guarantee of durability and operational safety, protecting the unit against potential solenoid failures and minimizing mechanical wear.

From an installation standpoint, the flexibility offered by the 90-degree motor rotation capability and the ability to mount the thruster at any angle within the tunnel simplify integration into sometimes tight spaces. The "Plug & Play" connectors and pre-wired harnesses streamline the installer’s work, reducing initial wiring time and complexity. This model is perfectly suited for either bow or stern thruster configurations, with the possible need for an external tunnel module for the stern.

It is important to note that this product is offered on a quote basis. This approach ensures precise sizing and optimized accessory selection tailored to each boat configuration. Skysat’s expertise is then leveraged to validate voltage, installation, and specific requirements, ensuring a consistent and high-performance system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the main feature of the Sleipner SE80 12V thruster?

The Sleipner SE80 12V thruster is an ignition-protected model. This feature makes it particularly suitable and safe for installations on boats equipped with gasoline engines, where the risk of gas explosion is a major concern. It is designed to operate safely in potentially explosive environments.

What is the thrust power of the Sleipner SE80 12V bow thruster?

The Sleipner SE80 12V bow thruster delivers 96 kg of thrust at 12V. This performance ensures efficient maneuverability for appropriately sized vessels.

For which type of boat is the SE80 12V thruster recommended?

The Sleipner SE80 12V thruster is ideally suited for vessels measuring between 10 and 15 meters (approximately 35 to 48 feet). It is essential to validate the exact sizing with a professional to ensure optimal performance.

What tunnel diameter is required to install the Sleipner SE80 thruster?

The Sleipner SE80 thruster requires a tunnel with an internal diameter of 185 mm. It is critical to ensure your boat's tunnel matches this specification for correct installation and efficient operation.

Does the SE80 thruster use a single or double propeller system?

The Sleipner SE80 thruster is equipped with a twin-propeller propulsion system. This setup is designed to optimize thrust and maneuvering efficiency.

What are the main safety features of the Sleipner SE80 thruster?

The Sleipner SE80 thruster integrates several important safety features:

Overheat protection: The system automatically shuts down if internal temperatures rise to prevent damage. Galvanic isolation: The underwater components are electrically isolated from the boat’s system to eliminate stray currents and prevent galvanic corrosion. Safe Startup: The control panels require a two-button activation, preventing accidental starts. Intelligent power control: Minimizes mechanical wear and monitors solenoid performance, cutting power if a solenoid locks up.

Is it possible to add variable speed control to the SE80 thruster?

Yes, the Sleipner SE80 thruster can be upgraded with the PRO™ variable speed control. This option allows for smoother, quieter, and more precise maneuvering. It also includes a hold function for twin systems, enabling the boat to be gently pressed against the dock with a single button press, and is ideal for integration with a joystick.

What type of propeller is used on the Sleipner SE80 thruster, and what are its advantages?

The Sleipner SE80 thruster uses a Q-PROP™ five-blade skewed propeller. This design reduces noise by 20 to 40% in real-world installations and up to 75% in controlled tests, while maintaining or improving thrust performance. Upgrade kits are available for most models.
