This system is suitable for boats with limited internal space, shallow drafts, or standard 12V service battery systems. It is recommended for sailboats ranging from 10 to 15 meters (35 to 48 feet) in length.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance and Hydrodynamic Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eSX80\/185T 12V\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers 80 kg of thrust at 10.5V and can reach 96 kg at a peak load of 12V. Its motor provides 4.4 kW (5.9 HP) at 10.5V. The system features a tunnel with an internal diameter of 185 mm and uses twin Q-Prop™ five-blade contra-rotating propellers. This setup optimizes thrust density within the 185 mm tunnel while reducing cavitation noise and vibration by 20–40% in real-world installations and up to 75% in controlled environments.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated Safety and Reliability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    This thruster is equipped with patented Intelligent Power Control (IPC), a microprocessor-based system that minimizes mechanical wear and monitors solenoid performance. It includes overheat protection with automatic system shutdown in case of high temperatures. All submerged components are galvanically isolated from the vessel’s electrical system to eliminate stray currents and prevent corrosion. The gearcase lubrication system is factory-sealed for extended service life, featuring ceramic and carbon mechanical seals. The \u003cstrong\u003eSleipner SX80\/185T 12V\u003c\/strong\u003e is certified to ISO 8846 (ignition protection) and CE, making it suitable for installation on gasoline-powered vessels or near fuel ventilation ducts. Optional covers are available for optimal performance with twin stern drives.","brand":"Sleipner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56539980431700,"sku":"SX80\/185T-12V","price":3366.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/sleipner-sx80-185t-12v-1-3200.jpg?v=1784738170","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/sleipner-stern-thruster-sx80-185t-12v-external","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
