Sleipner 40kg Thruster
Thrusters are not only helpful for large yachts, typically a light weightboat with a single outboard or stern-drive are even more difficult and stressful to handle in tight spots than larger yachts that are less effected by the wind.
Typical boat size 25 - 32 foot
Tunnel inside diameter 125 mm / 4,92
Propulsion system Single 4bl composite
Available for DC system 12 V
Weight 10 kg / 22 lbs.
Gearleg: Seawater resistant bronce, CNC machined in one process to ensure
100% correct tolerances, angles and measurements.
Oil filled with header tank and breathing to ensure long lifetime and no
contamination of oil.
Marine grade seals with protective lip and mechanically protected by
special propeller hub design.
Hardened and ground precision spiro-conical gears.
Propeller shaft with double ball bearings fitted in correct tolerances.
Driveshaft with ball bearing and special sleeve bearing in correct
tolerances.
Connection between motor and driveshaft by shear-pin, changable
from inside the boat.
Symmetrical 4 bladed composite kaplan propeller.
Zinc anode protection directly on gearleg, easy to access and change.
Performance and specifications at one tunnel diameter depth * :
at 10,5V at 12,0V
Thrust 40 kg / 88 lbs. 47 kg / 99 lbs.
Output power 2,2 kW / 3 Hp 2,6 kW / 3,5 Hp
Average current draw 305 A 390 A
Continous run time (20*C) 3 min. 2 min 40 sec
Approx. long term run time 12% of time 10% of time
Min. battery CCA rating 300 by DIN / 525 by BCI/SAE
Sidepower fuse size: ANL250
Safety features on thruster (see seperate sheet for control panels):
- Forced shut-down by overheat sensor in motor
- All internal leads with extra insulation of webbed silicon increase resistance
to heat and mechanical wear and connectors have positive lockign so that
you have to pull by the insulation to release, can not be pulled off by the
wires or loosen by themselves.
- IPC Standard electronic control box for protection against:
- direct drive direction change
- unique, patented protection of solenoid from extra wear and damages in
low voltage situations for example caused by drained or damaged batteries
as well as auto-stop without the need for the skipper to shut
down the main switch immidiately to stop the thruster in case of a
solenoid lock-in **
- auto-stop if control signal is continous for more than 3 minutes to
protect against potential short circuit in control cables.
