Detailed description

Designed for vessels from 13 to 19 meters (42 to 62 feet), the SRV130/250T 24V Sleipner retractable thruster provides an efficient docking solution without drag. This bow or stern thruster, operating at 24V DC, features a dual-propeller system in a 250 mm tunnel, delivering 130 kg of thrust at 21VDC and up to 160 kg at 24VDC. Its 6.5 kW (8.7 hp) electric motor at 21V ensures sufficient power for maneuvering in various conditions.

Technology and Performance

The SRV130/250T 24V integrates Q-PROP™ technology with five-blade offset propellers, reducing noise levels by 20 to 40% in real-world conditions and up to 75% in controlled tests, while maintaining or improving thrust performance. Its retractable design eliminates hydrodynamic drag during navigation, ideal for high-performance sailboats and powerboats. Deployment and retraction are quick.

Safety and System Integration

The thruster is equipped with S-LINK™ control system, a CAN-bus architecture facilitating communication and "Plug and Play" integration with other Sleipner equipment via color-coded connectors. The Intelligent Power Control (IPC) system minimizes mechanical wear and monitors solenoids, automatically shutting off the thruster in case of blockage. Overheat protection stops the system before any damage occurs, and PRO versions can adjust power to extend safe runtime. The gearbox is sealed for life with ceramic and carbon mechanical seals, ensuring effective waterproofing. Galvanic isolation separates immersed parts from the boat’s electrical system, preventing corrosion.

Installation and Advanced Features

Designed for vertical installation, the SRV130/250T 24V retractable thruster offers mounting flexibility with the ability to rotate the electric motor by 90 degrees. Activation is secured by a double-button system to prevent accidental starts, and automatic deactivation occurs after approximately six minutes of inactivity. The optional PRO version allows variable-speed control and a "hold" function to keep the boat against the dock. The unit weighs approximately 37 kg. It requires a minimum battery capacity of 400 CCA SAE for 24V systems and a 325 Amp ANL fuse. The thruster has a 2-3 minute runtime limit at 20°C and standby power consumption below 1.5 Watt. It operates between -10°C and 60°C.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis: SRV130/250T 24V retractable thruster Sleipner »

The Sleipner SRV130/250T 24V retractable thruster is an advanced maneuvering solution for mid-sized vessels, typically between 13 and 19 meters. Its main advantage lies in its retractable design, which eliminates all hydrodynamic drag while sailing. This feature is critical for performance sailboats and motor yachts where owners seek smooth cruising without compromising harbor maneuvering capability.

In terms of integration, the S-LINK™ CAN-bus system significantly simplifies installation and networking with other Sleipner equipment, enabling a "Plug and Play" configuration that reduces wiring time and complexity. The system’s robustness is reinforced by the sealed-for-life gearcase lubrication and galvanic isolation, both of which contribute to the product’s longevity in demanding marine environments.

This model also stands out for delivering significant thrust (up to 160 kg) while maintaining low noise levels thanks to the Q-PROP™ technology. The option to choose a PRO version with variable speed control and a "hold" function adds a layer of precision and comfort, particularly valuable during delicate maneuvers or with reduced crew. Vertical installation requires sufficient space under the floor, but offers high flexibility in motor orientation, adapting to various hull configurations. It is essential to validate precise sizing with a professional to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the vessel’s electrical system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Is it possible to control the speed of the SRV130/250T bow thruster variably?

Yes, the SRV130/250T thruster is compatible with Sleipner’s PRO™ Variable Speed Control system. This feature allows progressive and precise speed control, as well as a hold function to simplify docking.

Is the SRV130/250T thruster quiet during operation?

Yes, the SRV130/250T is equipped with Sleipner’s Q-Prop™ technology. This five-blade skewed propeller is designed to reduce operating noise by 20 to 40% in real-world conditions while maintaining or improving thrust performance.

What is the required tunnel diameter for installing this thruster?

The retractable thruster SRV130/250T is designed to be installed in a tunnel with a diameter of 250 mm (10 inches).

Why is this bow thruster only available on request?

This thruster is a major piece of equipment requiring precise integration and sizing. It is offered on a quote basis to ensure the installation is perfectly suited to your boat. This includes validating the voltage, optimal placement, and selecting the necessary accessories to ensure system performance and safety.

Does the thruster have corrosion protection?

Yes, the SRV130/250T thruster integrates the Galvanic Separation function. All submerged parts are electrically isolated from the vessel's electrical system to eliminate stray currents and prevent galvanic corrosion.
