Additional considerations for positioning of stern thruster.
Make sure that the stern-tunnel does not disturb the waterflow under the hull
Ensure that when installed the thruster does not foul exisiting equipment inside the boat like steerage links etc.
It is essential that the motor is supported so that the total weight is not on the tunnel alone.
Make sure that the water flow from the thruster are not intereferred to much by sterndrives, trimtabs etc. as this will reduce the thrust considerably.
It is possible to mount the tunnel off the boat’s centre line if necessary.
If the stern thickness is to much for the thruster in question you can easily remove material in the necessary area to fit the thruster. The stern thickness even here will never have to be less than the max. measurement given as max. stern thickness.

Version 1.6 - 2005
BOLT ON INSTALLATION
2a.
Once the place for the installation has been decided, hold the tunnel in place in the horizontal position and mark the bolt holes. Remove the tunnel and it is then possible to calculate and mark the centre (see Fig. 1).
3a.
It is important that the tunnel flange sits flush on the transom. If this is not case, then the fitting area on the transom will have to be worked to ensure a snug fit.
PS ! Take care with grinders as it is very easy to remove to much fibreglass
At this time, cut out the centre hole and the transom to the same internal diameter as the tunnel flange and drill the bolt holes. Before actual fitting the stern tunnel, we recommend that the prepared area is sealed with a gelcoat or similar to ensure there is no water ingress.
4a.
Before fitting the tunnel to the transom, install the gear leg to the tunnel as described in the thruster installation manual. We recommend that you fit the oil feed pipe also before the tunnel is bolted to the transom.
Special installation points described on page 7 of this manual.
5a.
When fitting the tunnel, ensure that there is ample sealant (Sikaflex or similar) in the sealing tracks of the tunnel flange and around the bolts to make a water tight fitting (see FIG. 2&3).
Bolts, washers and nuts are not included as they will vary depending on the transom thickness. We recommend A4 stainless with A4 lock nuts and A4 washers of a large diameter on both outside and inside.
Bolts diameter (stainless steel):
ø 6mm or 1/4” for SP 30 Si & SP 40 Si
ø 10mm or 3/8” for SP 55 Si & SP 75 Ti & SP 95 Ti & SP 125Ti & SP 155 TCi
ø 12mm or 1/2” for SP200TCi & SP 240 TCi & SP 285 TCi
FIG. 2
6a.
The electromotor must have a solid support so that the weight can not cause a twisting action on the tunnel (see FIG. 4).

THE STERN-THRUSTER MUST BE KEPT DRY AT ALL TIMES
It is very important that you do everything possible to ensure that the thruster stays dry at all times.
The electromotor and and solenoid system is not to be considered as waterproof, and will be dammaged if they keep getting wet (rust and corriosion). Therefore, the thrusters installation compartment must be kept dry at all times.
This is more difficult for a sternthruster installation than for a bowthruster installation as the sternthruster has to be fitted in the bilge at the stern of the boat. This is generally a “wet” area that must be transformed into a dry area.
Important precautions !
- You must seal all drain holes going into the compartment of the thruster.
- The surrounding compartments and any plates or compartments above must be drained in a good way to the bilge area in front of the thrusters installation compartment.
- If the propeller shaft or other moving parts with a high possibility for leakage comes through the bottom of the boat in the same compartment where the thruster is placed, you must make a seperate compartment for the thruster isolating it from these very normal and highly probable water leakages.
- The rudder shaft entrances to the boat and its surroundings must be drained so that any water coming in here are drained to go into the compartment in front of the sternthruster compartment.
- It is also important to ensure that the sternthrusters installation compartment will not be were water runs if a selfdraining system of the boat deck fails to operate properly.
- Generally, all possible actions should be taken to ensure that water leakages from sources that are likely to have water leakages are drained to prevent water from entering the stern-thruster compartment.
- We advice to install a self-activating bilge-pump, preferably with an alarm system, in the stern-thruster compartment. If you are not confident that you have been able to seal this comparment well, this pump is absolutely necessary.
The thruster compartment must be kept dry at all times
- The control-cable system for the thruster must be installed so that atleast all junctions and connectors are kept dry at all times.
- In the Sidepower sternthruster kit, there will be included a cable, so that electronic controlbox originally placed on the electromotor, can be fitted away from the thruster in a higher position securing that it will stay dry at all times, even if there are accidental leakages into the stern-thruster compartment. Please see instructions on the following pages of how to connect this. If you are installing a sternthruster without the special sternthruster tunnel available from
Sidepower, this kit can be bought seperately.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Sidepower SP 55 Si
As the motorbracket are completely inside the stern-tunnel, the oil-pipe must be changed to an elbow connection so that the oil hose will not be bent, preventing from constrictions.
1.
2.
Remove the straight hose pipe in the bracket.
Install the elbow hose pipe connection that came with the stern-tunnel, be sure to use a sealant on the threads, but not so much that it closes the oil feed into the bracket.
2.
3.
S
As there are no room to place and fasten the lower part of the flexible coupling after the electric motor is fastened on the bracket, this must be done before fitting the motor.
PS! The part of the flexible coupling that is fastened on the motor, is prefixed in a specific position, on which this procedure is based. DO NOT MOVE IT !

REMOTE INSTALLATION OF THE ELECTRONIC BOX.
As the electronic controlbox and its contact are the most sensitive parts on the thruster, we advice that these are removed from the thruster and fitted in a high place in the boat so to secure these from water ingress, even if the thrusters compartment gets flooded.
Included with the stern-thruster tunnel kit is an extension cable that will allow you to do this.

Exchange the GREY and BLUE wires on the sides of the main solenoids that is coming from the electronic controlbox with the GREY and BLUE wires from the extension cable.
Exchange the BLACK, BROWN and WHITE wires from the electronic controlbox with BLACK ,
BROWN and WHITE wires in the extension cable.
3.
Cut the strips holding the RED internal connections together with the other internal connections, and leave the RED wires on the main solenoids. Cut the red wire in accordance to drawing.
Remove the electronic controlbox and its harness from the solenoid system on the thruster.
Locate and fasten the electronic controlbox in a position where it will surely keep dry. This should be relatively high in the boat, so that even an extreme level of bilge water can not get to it. Also ensure that the position is safe against water running from above.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF STERNTHRUSTER SYSTEMS
PS ! This is additional information especially for sternthruster installations, and the installation manual for the thruster you are installing must be used complementary.
If a bow thruster is also installed, we strongly advice to use seperate battery banks for the two thrusters to avoid extreme voltage drop if both thrusters were to be used at the same time, and to ensure maximum performance.
Battery banks must have common minus!
Refer to the thruster manuals for advised battery capacity and cable sizes for each thruster.
If a single control panel other than Sidepower’s is to be used for both bow and stern thruster, be sure it has a single positive connection from only one of the two thrusters to avoid current leakage between the two battery banks. If you are installing the standard Sidepower dual joystick panel this is already taken care of.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF STERNTHRUSTER SYSTEMS
-
To use the Sidepower dual joystick panel with previously installed Sidepower bowthruster with the older 3 lead electric system.
Please contact your distributor / dealer to purchase an upgrade kit to rebuild your existing bowthruster to the new 4 lead electric system. The wiring diagram on the previous page will then be the correct one for your complete system.
-
-
To use the Sidepower dual joystick panel with previously installed thruster of other brand.
You should not use the Sidepower dual joystick panel as it is not designed to run other thruster brands. It may be possible but you must consult a skilled electrician to ensure the compatibility.
The panel can supply a maximum of 1Amp. in the standard configuaration and will therefore normally not be able to directly drive main solenoids on a thruster.
If you wish to use this panel to control another brand of bowthruster, a possible solution is to rebuild the dual joystick panel, so that it for all practical purposes is transformed into two different controls.
This is done by removing all connections on the “bow-joystick” including the Sidepower connector and the yellow cables between the two joysticks.
You must then connect the black lead coming out of the ON/OFF system in the panel to a seperate ground/negative with the same ground potential the thrsuter because there are no ground coming from the sternthruster.
By this, the “bow-joystick” is totally seperated from the Sidepower panel and can be used and connected as any other joystick or two way switch. Consult your other brand thruster manual for correct connections. We advice to always fit an ON/OFF switch on the input lead to the joystick so that it’s function can be de-activated when the thruster is not in use. See example diagram below.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
There is a sturdy additional support under the electric motor, taking the weight/ load of the electromotor away from the stern-tunnel.
All bolts are securely tightened and sealant is applied as instructed
All necessary actions have been taken to ensure that the thrusters installation compartment will stay dry at all times.
The electronic controlbox of the thruster have been remotely fitted in a high place where there are no chance it will be submerged or splashed with water.
All electrical wiring, cable sizes and battery capacity is according to the thruster installation manual.
The unit has been moved by hand and found to run freely.
The gear house, oil-hose and oiltank are filled with oil (models with external oiltank).
The gearoil tank is installed a minimum of 200mm above the waterline.
(models with external oiltank).
IMPORTANT USER ADVICE
Never use the thruster if there are people or animals swimming in the area around the thruster. The thruster propeller can cause serious injuries when it is running.
WARNING ! Never store any items that can leak explosive gas in the same room where the sternthruster is fitted. The thruster will create sparks that can cause an explosion if there are explosive gases present.
When the boat is going backwards in a “dirty” harbour with lots of floating objects / debris, this can be
“collected” by the transom of the boat. These objects / debris can cause damage to the thruster if sucked into the tunnel while the thruster are being operated. All the thrusters are built with safety devices
(shearpin in the SP30Si / SP40Si / SP55Si & flexible couplings in the SP75Ti / SP95Ti / SP100HYD /
SP125Ti / SP155TCi / SP200TCi / SP220HYD / SP240TCi / SP285TCi / SP300HYD / SP550HYD models) changeable from inside the boat, but damages can occur to other parts of the thruster in certain cases.
Always turn of the main power / disconnect the thruster from the batteries before touching any moving parts of the thruster inside or outside the boat.
If the thruster does not move the boat/does not give any thrust you must immediately stop trying to run it and turn off the main power switch until the reason for this is found and corrected.
This manual is in addition to the general thruster manual, so this must be read and understood also !
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Sleipner Motor AS assumes no responsibility or liability for the installation of any components.
Skilled installers should be used, and there might be unforeseen factors that can make one or more installation instructions wrong or not entirely correct for the boat in question. The installation responsibility is thereby solely on the party that are actually performing the installation.
