Detailed description

Designed for precise maneuvering of vessels, the Sleipner SE130 12V electric bow thruster delivers 160 kg of thrust at 12V DC, suitable for boats from 13 to 19 meters (42-62 feet). This model integrates advanced technologies to enhance safety, control, and performance, making docking in tight spaces or challenging conditions easier.

Performance and technical specifications

The SE130/250T-12V thruster produces 130 kg of thrust at 10.5V DC and reaches 160 kg at 12V DC. It operates on 12V DC with a motor power output of 6.5 kW (8.7 HP) at 10.5V DC. The required tunnel internal diameter is 250 mm. For optimal operation, it requires a minimum battery capacity of 1425 CCA SAE (or 750 CCA DIN) and a recommended fuse of 500A (SMANL500). Its weight is 37 kg. For installation, a minimum depth of 125 mm is required to the top of the tunnel, and 250 mm to the center of the tunnel.

Advanced navigation features

The Sleipner SE130 12V integrates key features for reliability and ease of use. The twin-propeller propulsion system (Twin Propellers) provides increased thrust for a given tunnel diameter. The Q-PROP™ five-blade skewed propellers reduce noise levels by 20 to 40% in real-world conditions and up to 75% in controlled tests, while maintaining or improving thrust performance. The Intelligent Power Control (IPC) minimizes mechanical wear by ensuring minimal delay between direction changes and monitoring solenoids, automatically stopping the thruster in case of blockage. Overheat protection shuts down the system before damage occurs. Galvanic isolation protects against corrosion by electrically isolating the submerged parts. The sealed drive lubrication (Sealed Drive Lubrication) is factory-filled for the product’s lifespan, featuring a ceramic and carbon mechanical seal. A flexible coupling (Flexible Coupling) protects the propeller shaft from minor misalignments. Installation is simplified with pre-wired electrical components (Plug and Go Wiring) and mounting flexibility allowing the electric motor to be rotated 90 degrees to fit available space. Safety features include two-button activation and automatic deactivation.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Sleipner SE130 12V bow thruster »

The Sleipner SE130 12V bow thruster is designed to provide valuable assistance in maneuvering vessels from 13 to 19 meters. Its 160 kg thrust capacity enables precise lateral movement, facilitating docking or departure from port, especially with reduced crew or in wind/current conditions. It is a strategic piece of equipment for enhancing safety and comfort on board.

The Q-PROP™ technology stands out for its significant noise reduction, a benefit for onboard comfort and discretion during maneuvers. The Intelligent Power Control (IPC) system and galvanic isolation are key features that extend thruster lifespan by minimizing mechanical wear and corrosion. The twin-propeller design maximizes thrust within a compact 250 mm tunnel diameter, delivering high performance without requiring a large tunnel.

Installing this type of thruster requires rigorous prior study. While the "Plug and Go" wiring simplifies some electrical aspects, tunnel sizing, motor positioning (rotatable 90 degrees to fit space), and accessory selection (control panels, power wiring, fuses) must be validated by a professional. This is not a "plug-and-play" product but a critical component of a complex maneuvering system, requiring guidance to ensure optimal and secure integration into the vessel's architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the tunnel diameter required to install the SE130 thruster?

For installation of the Sleipner SE130 bow thruster, a tunnel diameter of 250 mm is required.

What are the built-in protections for the Sleipner SE130 12V thruster?

The Sleipner SE130 12V thruster integrates multiple protections to ensure durability and safety:

Overheat protection: The system automatically shuts down in case of high internal temperatures to prevent damage.Galvanic isolation: All underwater components are electrically isolated from the onboard system to eliminate stray currents and prevent galvanic corrosion.Intelligent power control: Minimizes mechanical wear and monitors solenoid performance.Secure start: Control panels require a two-button activation to prevent accidental starts.

Can the SE130 bow thruster be controlled at variable speed?

Yes, the Sleipner SE130 12V bow thruster can be upgraded to include variable speed control via the PRO™ system. This feature enables smoother, quieter, and more precise maneuvers. It also includes a hold function for dual systems, allowing the boat to be held gently against the dock with a single button press.

Is the SE130 12V thruster equipped with Q-Prop technology to reduce noise?

Yes, the Sleipner SE130 12V thruster integrates Q-Prop technology. This five-blade, skewed propeller is designed to reduce noise by 20 to 40% in real-world conditions while maintaining or improving thrust performance.

What lubrication system does the SE130 thruster use?

The Sleipner SE130 thruster uses a gravity-fed lubrication system. A separate oil reservoir, located above the waterline, feeds the gearcase by gravity, creating positive pressure for effective water sealing and simplifying oil changes. Additionally, it features a factory-sealed drive lubrication system designed to last the product's lifetime, with ceramic and carbon seals.
