Detailed description

Designed for vessels from 12 to 17 meters (35 to 55 feet), the Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V stern thruster is an external maneuvering system delivering 100 kg of thrust at 10.5V and 116 kg at 12V. Operating on 12V, it includes a PPC800 speed controller (now replaced by the PPC820) for proportional thrust control. This system uses a 185 mm tunnel diameter and features a twin propeller, delivering 6 kW (8.05 HP) of power. A 500A fuse and a battery with at least 750 CCA (DIN) are recommended for optimal operation. Its weight is 57 kg.

Control and performance technologies

This thruster integrates several Sleipner technologies to enhance safety and performance. Intelligent Power Control (IPC) minimizes the delay between thrust direction changes, reduces mechanical wear, and monitors solenoids, automatically stopping the thruster in case of blockage. The Q-PROP™ technology uses five-blade skewed propellers, reducing noise by 20 to 40% in real-world conditions and up to 75% in controlled tests without compromising performance. The overheat protection system detects high internal temperatures and, for PRO™ models like this one, can reduce power to maintain safe operating temperatures, allowing extended usage durations.

Installation and durability

The Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V offers notable installation flexibility. Galvanic isolation ensures all underwater components are electrically isolated from the boat’s electrical system, preventing stray currents and corrosion. The sealed gearbox lubrication is factory-filled for extended life, complemented by a water-resistant mechanical seal. A flexible coupling protects the propeller shaft by compensating for minor misalignments. The S-Link™ control system simplifies wiring with its "Plug & Play" design.

Advanced features and safety

Safety features include two-button activation to prevent accidental starts, automatic deactivation after use, and protection against prolonged operation (PRO™ models can reduce power for extended usage durations rather than stopping abruptly in case of overheating, unlike on/off models which have a time limit). With compatible PJC control panels, the "Hold" function allows holding the boat alongside the dock, with adjustable thrust and individual synchronization for bow and stern thrusters, simplifying single-handed docking maneuvers.

Expert opinion

« Mastering manoeuvres: Sleipner Pro stern thruster with variable speed »

The Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V Pro stern thruster is an advanced manoeuvring solution, particularly suited to 12–17m sailboats and motor yachts requiring superior control precision. The "PRO" designation indicates variable-speed capability, offering fine thrust modulation essential for delicate manoeuvres in tight spaces or crosswind conditions. This feature, managed by the PPC (PPC800 or its successor PPC820) variable speed drive, not only allows progressive power adjustment but also longer duty cycles thanks to optimized thermal management, where the system can reduce power rather than shutting down abruptly in case of overheating.

The integration of technologies such as Intelligent Power Control (IPC) and Q-PROP™ propellers places this model above standard "on/off" thrusters. IPC ensures smooth transitions between thrust directions and active solenoid protection, while Q-PROP™ significantly reduces noise levels, a benefit for onboard comfort. The S-Link™ system simplifies control wiring installation, but it is critical to note that electrical sizing (power wiring, battery type, fuse) must be rigorously performed to support the recommended 500A. As a "quote-based" system, an installation study is required to validate compatibility with the hull, mounting angle, and control integration. This thruster is a strategic choice for demanding owners seeking to optimize their vessel's manoeuvrability, particularly for docking situations with reduced crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the thrust force of this Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V stern thruster?

This external stern thruster delivers 100 kg of thrust at 10.5V and 116 kg at 12V. This power is designed to ease harbour manoeuvres for your boat.

What are the benefits of the PRO™ variable-speed control system included with this thruster?

The PRO™ variable-speed control system (PPC800 drive) offers several advantages:

Smoother, quieter, and more precise manoeuvres.A "hold" function for dual systems, allowing the boat to be gently held against the dock with a single button press.Easier integration with joystick systems.

What type of propeller is used on the Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V thruster and what are its benefits?

This thruster is fitted with a Q-PROP™ five-blade skewed propeller. This design reduces noise by 20 to 40% in real-world installations while maintaining or improving thrust performance.

What are the integrated safety features of this Sleipner stern thruster?

The Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V thruster incorporates several safety features:

Overheat protection: Detects high internal temperatures and shuts down the system before any damage occurs. Galvanic isolation: All underwater components are electrically isolated from the boat’s system to eliminate stray currents and prevent galvanic corrosion. Secure start-up: Control panels require a two-button activation, preventing accidental starts. Intelligent power control: Minimizes mechanical wear by ensuring minimal delay between direction changes and monitoring solenoid performance.

What are the power supply requirements for the Sleipner SXP100/185T-12V thruster?

This thruster operates at 12V. For optimal performance, it requires a battery with a minimum of 750 CCA (DIN).

Can this PRO™ stern thruster be integrated or upgraded with existing Sleipner control systems?

Yes, most Sleipner (Side-Power) DC 12V bow thruster models manufactured from 1999/2000 onwards can be upgraded to the PRO™ variable speed control. This thruster uses the S-LINK™ communication protocol for extended integration and compatibility with Sleipner systems.

How is the gear system of this Sleipner thruster lubricated?

The thruster uses a gravity-fed lubrication system. A separate oil reservoir, located above the waterline, feeds the lower unit by gravity. This creates positive pressure that ensures effective water sealing and allows easy oil changes.
