Sleipner SEP130 PRO™ Tunnel Bow/Stern Thruster 12V

Features & Properties

S-Link™ is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel.

• Compact and waterproof plugs
• Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
• Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install

The Q-PROP™ has measured noise reductions of up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining exceptional efficiency. Some thruster models even see an increase in thrust power. 

• The expected noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
• Upgrade kits are available for most Sleipner thruster models with special adaptors

A PRO™ thruster system enables you to apply only the necessary power to complete your maneuver. The variable speed control eliminates the noise associated with standard on/off thrusters.

The system also includes a practical hold-function. In a dual system (bow and stern) a single press of a button will keep you alongside the docks – making docking truly a one-person job. 

Speed controlled thrusters are the best choice for joystick interaction.​

• Sleipner’s patented intelligent power control provides a minimal delay between drive directions to reduce wear of the mechanical parts while monitoring solenoid functions. In the case of a solenoid lock-in, the thruster will automatically stop without extra user action or controlling the main switch.
• When high temperatures are detected, On/off thrusters are automatically shut off to prevent overheating. PRO™ thrusters with speed control provide extended run-time by derating power to maintain temperature within safe levels. 
• Sleipner offers installation flexibility to work with the space you have. Our thruster models allow installation at any angle on the tunnel, tailored to fit any space available in your vessel. 
• Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.
• The thruster gearleg is pre-filled for lifetime lubrication and sealed using a long-time mechanical seal with ceramic and carbon surfaces for ultimate security against water intrusion.  
• Flexible coupling protects the product’s driveline by compensating for minor misalignments between the shafts of the thruster motor and gearleg.
• Twin propellers can provide more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. We use this system in our mid-range models, where high thrust is required in small tunnel diameters. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the thrusters of choice among boatbuilders worldwide.
