For thruster systems

• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking

with the boat builder this can be done safely.

• Paint the gear leg and propellers with anti-fouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber ﬁ ttings or propeller shafts)

• There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-fouling between the tunnel and the props.

• Never run the thruster out of water without load.

General Installation Consideration and Precaution Guidelines

MC_0427

For SX/P35 and SX/P50 thruster systems

• Ensure that the external thruster assembly does not disturb the water flow under the hull. At higher speeds, if the thruster is installed to

low it can cause damage to the thruster and/ or add additional drag and unwanted water splashing.

• The minimum tunnel depth from the water surface is 140mm (5,51‘) to the centre of tunnel diameter. Place the Thruster as deep as possible for

better performance and reduced noise.

• When installing the thruster ensure it does not foul existing equipment inside the boat like motor bedding etc.

• If able ensure that stern-drives/ trim-tabs do not interfere with the water flow from the thruster as this can reduce the thrust effectiveness

considerably. We recommend the use of our Sleipner cowls to enhance the performance and allow installation in shallow draft boats. Sleipner

cowls will also minimise the effect if stern-drives/ trim-tabs obstruct the thruster.

• Ensure there is enough space both inside and outside the transom of the boat and the thruster does not get in conflict with existing equipment

inside the boat like steerage links etc. (NB: It is possible to mount the tunnel offset from the boat’s centre line if necessary. Hydro pods can not be

installed on the transom)

• To avoid cable overheating do not install place the volt cables from the thruster to the control box near any heat sources. (NB: excluding SXP

thrusters)

• Do not lift the thruster by internal cable connections, main terminals.

• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.

• The electric motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.

• Do not use abrasive tools damaging the existing Epoxy coating when preparing for antifouling paint.

When installing an S-Link™ system connect ONLY original Sleipner S-Link™ products or other authorized control equipment directly to the S-Link™ bus.

Connecting non-authorized third-party equipment, it must always be connected through a Sleipner supplied interface product.

Any attempt to directly control or connect into the S-Link™ control system without a designated and approved interface will render all warranties and

responsibilities of all of the connected Sleipner products. If you are interfacing the S-Link™ bus by agreement with Sleipner through a designated

Lithium Batteries for proportional thrusters models

• If a lithium battery system is installed for supply of proportional thrusters, ensure the battery is designed for continuous supply of the required

thruster current. Under-rated battery management system can suddenly disconnect the load which may lead to dangerous situations. The

ﬁ rmware version of Proportional Power Controller (PPC) must be of version 1.033 or later if the PPC is to be connected to a lithium battery.

Operating the thruster outside speciﬁ ed ratings will void warranty.

Galvanic Isolation MC_0483

The SX models are produced with a seawater resistant aluminium frame. Without galvanic isolation from other electrical sources the SX seawater

resistant aluminium frame will act as an anode on the vessel. This will add considerable corrosion to the SX thruster frame.

WARRING

IF installing on any metal surface with contact to the SX seawater resistant aluminium frame or fasteners (vessel hull, supports or frames) the SX

thruster must include a galvanic isolation solution.

Positioning the Stern SX Thruster

For best performance, the thruster must be installed as deep on the stern as possible but not disturb the natural water flow dynamic of the hull as the

vessel travels.

The thruster should be installed as deep under the waterline as possible for two reasons:

1. So it does not suck air from the surface which will reduce performance and increase noise levels.

2. To receive maximum efﬁ ciency in turning force.

The thruster must be installed to ensure the propulsion water flow must not be obstructed by other objects. Objects that obstruct the water flow from

the thruster will greatly reduce the thrust output.

Position

The thruster can be installed in multiple locations on the boat transom. Installing the thruster slightly off centre will not affect the overall effectiveness

of the thruster. Installing the thruster off centre may be required to avoid any obstructions externally or internally on the vessel.

Ensure that the external stern thruster assembly does not disturb the water flow under the hull. At higher speeds, if the thruster is installed to low can

cause damage to the thruster, additional drag and unwanted water splashing.

Alignment

The thruster can be installed at a slight angle if required for the water flow to avoid obstructions. These obstructions can include propellers systems,

trim tabs or the hull. The average force the thruster propels water is 5-7 meters per sec, therefore angled installations must be as deep as possible

under the water to minimise spray breaking beyond the water surface. (NB: install the thruster at an angle only if no other suitable location can be

found.)

Guide for Stern Thruster Cowls or Grids

Installing a stern thruster cowl for stern thrusters that will allow installations in boats with shallow drafts or due to other obstructions on the stern.

These can include obstacles such as trim tabs, jets or surface drive propeller systems where shallow installation of a stern thruster is the only option.

Cowls:

Designed to aid in water redirection and reduce air entering the tunnel in shallow installations.

Grid’s:

Designed to protect the thruster from objects while in use.

propeller.

2. Insert the washer to the end of the shaft spline. Tighten with the propeller lock-nut.

3. Apply anti fouling to the gear leg and propeller. Do not apply anti fouling to any rubber elements of the gear leg or anodes if applicable.

(NB: Ensure to paint under plastic covers.)
