Over 100 years of service
2008 marked Sleipner Motor’s 100th year serving the boating community.
While our product development focuses on making boating easier, safer, more accessible comfortable, our historic commitment has always been to offer the highest quality and reliability to our customers. Over the years we have grown to be the global leader in thrusters (with well over 100,000 put into service) and we are proud to know that our products have enhanced the boating experience for so many people.
It makes docking easy
As marinas get more crowded and slips become tighter, docking a boat safely is more challenging than ever before. Thrusters give you total control of your boat and allow you to maneuver into and out of tight spots with ease and actual control of your boat. Thrusters also have the benefit over “pod” systems with single joystick that they only need to apply a reasonable amount of power in the actual direction you wish to move the boat, instead of having to use perhaps as much as ten times this power through vectoring several thrust sources to achieve a net power in the desired direction, thereby avoiding the annoying wash for all the boats around you.
Confidence in all conditions
Boating is meant to be fun. Why end your day or week on the water with a stressful experience? A Side-Power thruster offers the help you need to be in full control when docking and departing regardless of wind conditions and currents. And you can do this with full confidence, you do not need to rely on a computer to understand what you mean to do and then re-apply this into other commands to several propulsion sources. Using thrusters means you control exactly what is going to happen.
Even simpler shorthanded boating
With the new DC Speed control thrusters, the unique “Hold” function takes shorthanded boating to a new level. See page 8 for more information

Thruster sizing
By definition, any thruster will to some extent do a job in any boat. The key is to ensure that the chosen thruster will do the job you want it to in your boat. This is one of two main factors deciding the right thruster size for each boat.
Thruster model SE130/250T
Thruster position A 21.2 kn
Thruster position B 22.4 kn
SE170/250TC
23.9 kn
25.2 kn
Today most pleasure craft over 35’ have a bow thruster as standard equipment which normally will meet the expectations of most customers when using the boat under normal weather conditions. The sizes used by the boat builders will vary depending on the boat’s intended usage and price level. In today’s production boats, the typical thruster will push the boat’s bow against a direct side wind of
21-23 knots.
Some custom built or very high end boats may have a high power bow thruster that pushes the bow against a direct side wind of 24-
26 knots. For boat owners that use their boats in more demanding conditions or have, for example, a strong current in their local marina, or for other reasons require very high performance, many boat builders offer upgrades to a more powerful thruster system.
While most pleasure crafts will have ample power in most conditions when the thruster can push the bow against a direct side wind of
25-27 knots, this year’s addition of the “DC Speed Control” system will allow for even more powerful DC electric thrusters to be used comfortably.
The example above shows the different wind speeds that two different thruster installations can counter and the
increased leverage gained when the thruster is positioned
further forward.

Example
If you have a 45’/13.5m boat, you have 4 thrusters to choose from within “normal” sizing.
If your boat does not have a lot of wind area and you use it mostly in good weather conditions, you can choose the least powerful thruster, the SE80 in a 185mm tunnel.
If you want to keep the ø185mm tunnel dia, but require more power, the SE100 is a good choice.
If you have room for a larger tunnel diameter, there are models in both ø215mm and ø250mm tunnels that are suitable for this boat size, so there are many options.

A complete thruster system
There are several components in a complete system for your boat; besides the thrusters and tunnels (bow or stern or both) – you will need control cables, main switches – automatic or manual – fuse & fuse- holder, control panel(s) and main power cables, even a radio remote is a normal part of a thruster system today. To simplify installation and further increase the safety, we recommend to use the original Side-Power Automatic Main switch which also has a built in fuse reducing the number of necessary components. Where the
Automatic Main switch is used, you need a 5 lead control cable between the panel and main switch, while only a 4 lead is needed to the thruster or if a manual or other auxiliary main switch and separate fuse is used.
The powerful electric motors used on the thrusters require a good electric power supply for safe operation and to achieve the desired power. Thereby, both the main power cable sizes as well as the available battery capacity is important. It is the actual delivered voltage at the thruster when it is running, after the voltage drop both in the batteries as well as through the cables, main switch and fuse, that decides the actual power of the electric motor and thereby the possible thrust. So, getting this right will be important for your product satisfaction. It is also important to remember that different types of batteries have different capabilities and specialties, and what is important for thrusters is the cranking capacity, the batteries ability to deliver a high current for a shorter period of time. On www.
side-power.com you will find a guide called “system builder” – that will guide you through what parts to order as well as recommend cable sizes and battery capacities for your chosen thruster(s).
The Side-Power “System builder” will help plan the installation in your boat.

DC electric thruster models
To enable the most safe and easy installation as well as the best possible performance for a variety of boats and usages, Side-Power thrusters are offered in several versions to satisfy all requirements.
SE series – Standard bow and stern thrusters
The standard bow and stern thruster series are the base for all our extensive range of
DC electric thrusters. They are fitted in a tunnel through the bow, or into our stern tunnels to use as a stern thrusters. The electric motors, solenoids, patented IPC control system and the mechanical parts of the propulsion system are all totally custom designed and built, utilizing the extensive experience gained through years of leadership in the global thruster market.
IP versions – For demanding environments
The IP – ignition protected – versions are equipped with a hermetically sealed cover around the motor and switch gear. This means that it is safe to use in gasoline boats or other areas where there is a risk of explosive fumes as well as excellent for installation in wet areas (not for submerged installation). Can be used for both bow or stern applications. Most models in both the SE and SEP series are available in IP versions. More information page 10.
SR series – Retractable thrusters
Our retractable thrusters are excellent for use as bow or stern thrusters in boats with shallow or flat bottomed hulls, or where a tunnel opening in the hull at all is not desirable. Designed in true Side-Power spirit with reliability and durability as main factors, they are exceptionally sturdy and compact with the same high performance as all other
Side-Power thrusters. Unique advantages by use of the latest technology including our
S-link intelligent bus control provides a further benefit in use and control for the operator. Available also as speed control versions with the designation SRP. More information on page 11.
SX versions – Externally fitted stern thrusters.
The fully external stern thrusters. Very popular for boats with twin stern drives together with the special cowls directing the water flow past the drives or in boats that have limited internal space in the back of the boat. Exceptionally easy installation is a bonus with the SX stern thrusters. Two size models are available now, the 80 and 100 kg thrust models and you can get both SE and SEP series in SX versions. More details on page 12.
SEP series – The speed controlled thrusters
The SEP series are basically SE thrusters with the addition of the DC Powercontrol system. Providing even more accurate control by fully regulating the power of the thruster as well as providing even longer run times, this is the latest in DC electric thrusters. The noise reduction and automatic ”Hold” function are further benefits provided by the SEP series. More details on page 14.

Ignition protected - IP series
For several years, Side-Power has manufactured ignition protected thruster models. Now, the second generation is here with added features and many more models.
High safety standards
To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats, we offer modified versions of our DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in stern and other locations that may get wet or be exposed to petrol fumes. These thrusters are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with petrol engines.
They have a hermetically sealed composite housing around all electric parts. This provides the ignition protection as no petrol fumes can enter and be ignited by sparks.
The other advantage is that the electric parts that could be damaged by water are also covered and protected, making these thrusters the ideal choice for other stern thruster installations where it is difficult to ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.

External sternthruster - the SX series
Finally a functional stern thruster option for boats with twin stern drives!
Side-Power now offers a complete external sternthuster assembly, specially designed for installation on boats with twin stern drives. It utilizes special cowls to enable good performance by diverting the waterflow past the stern drive legs, which normally blocks the v and the thrust.
The units come pre-assembled, wired and sealed in the waterproof box, and only require a small hole into the boat’s transom to attach the power and control cables. The cable connection points are fully sealed, so that it is Ignition Protected and can be installed in petrol powered boats.
This stern thruster option can also be the best choice for boats without stern drives, if the inside configuration of the boat’s stern makes a standard thruster installation impractical.
Available with two different size thrusters, SX80 and SX100. Also available in SXP versions with DC speed control.

Retractables - the SR/SRV series
Retractable thrusters
Some boats do not have the possibility to fit a tunnel thruster and thereby require a retractable thruster.
Side-Power have designed a product range that address known weaknesses in retractable thrusters, namely the sturdiness, reliability and speed of the in-water propulsion parts to offer retractable thrusters in true
Side-Power spirit with no compromise on safety and reliability.
The retracting thrusters are generally built with the same high safety standards as all Side-Power products, and incorporate the important benefits introduced with the SE-series thrusters. Our focus on safety is a totally integral part of the product design so that everything from build quality to ease of installation is thought of to ensure long term reliability.
There are two versions of the retractable thrusters, one model design for direct mold-in, and one designed to be mounted on a flange. The flange can be a mold-in base from Side-Power, or the boat builders can manufacture their own base in materials suited for their hulls or as part of their basic hull design.
Specific Retracting thruster features
• Plug and play S-Link two way communication control cable wiring
• Motor assembly rigid mounted on retract casing - no moving parts during retract operation
• Compact measures
• Reliable retract mechanism, avoids sticking
• Fast deployment time
• Easy to use control panel with status feedback from thruster
• Available as SRP versions with DC Speed Control.
Direct mould-in version
The retractable thrusters for direct mould-in are available in the following models:
SR80/185T 80kg thrust, available for 12V and 24V
SR100/185T 100kg thrust, available for 12V and 24V
www.side-power.com
Flange mounted version
The flange mounted models have thruster unit in a casing that will be bolted to a base. This allows for easier installation in hulls made from different materials, as well as in series production where you do not need to mix laminating and engineering type jobs.
The 185mm tunnel diameter thrusters uses one fast and powerful actuator, while the 250mm tunnel diameter models have two actuators to handle the increased forces with the same exceptionally fast deploy/ retract operation time.
The unique design of the underwater mechanism with only a few, but very sturdy parts that all contribute to the stability of the moving assembly. The unit is also designed to keep the thruster as compact as possible while enabling the safe use of heavier motors on the more powerful units. The vertical installation of the motors also reduce the impact forces on the assembly in extreme waves compared to motors fitted at an angle.
The flange mounted retractable thrusters are available in the following models:
SRV80/185T 80kg thrust, available for 12V and 24V
SRV100/185T 100kg thrust, available for 12V and 24V
SR130/250T 130kg thrust, available for 12V and 24V
SR170/250TC 170kg thrust, 24V
SR210/250TC 210kg thrust, 24V
Mould-in base (not included with thruster):
SRF-185-GRP Mould in mounting base for 185mm SRV models - ISO Polyester
SRF-185-GRV Mould in mounting base or 185mm SRV models - Vinylester
SRF-250-GRP Mould in mounting base for 250mm SR models - ISO Polyester
SRF-250-GRV Mould in mounting base for 250mm SR models - Vinylester
Hydraulic version
The 185mm SRV and the 250mm SR models are available in hydraulic versions for those who prefer this powering option for longer run times or in situations where the height of a DC electric version is too high (see measurements on page 28).

DC Speed Control
Ultimate
docking!
With many boat customers now having had several boats with thrusters, their functional demand of their thruster system has increased so that many choose to upgrade to more powerful thrusters than standard and even request hydraulic thruster systems to ensure that run-time limitations in DC electric thrusters will not be a problem. However, very powerful single speed thrusters can, in light weather conditions, be a bit difficult to use as they push the boat too fast, and with the focus on living space in modern boats, often there just is no room for a hydraulic system.
The solution is to fit the new Side-Power
DC Speed Controller which enables proportional speed control of a DC electric thruster. By also controlling the thruster’s power, you get even more precise handling of the boat in all conditions. By also using an upgraded thruster size, you will about never need full power, which means that the usable run time is extended a lot, at around 50% load you can expect close to continuous usage being possible, normally then limited to battery power.
The extended runtime
is put to good use in the Hold-function incorporated in the new panels. With a single press of a button, the bow and stern thrusters will keep you alongside the docks. The amount of thrust applied can be adjusted, and in addition the bow and stern thruster can be individually synchronized to get a balanced sideways motion
- making single handed docking very easy indeed!
The DC Speed Control
system is controlled by S-link and monitors important parameters such as temperature in both controller and thruster as well as thruster voltage – this monitoring will also enable greatly simplified troubleshooting for most issues ever seen with thrusters as it shows both actual voltage on the thruster as well as current draw.
The Proportional
Joystick Control Panels features a Back-lit
LCD display giving instant feedback to the user. System status, amount of thrust & direction of thrust as well as remaining run time and battery capacity will be shown in real time on the display. Important user warnings and alarms will be given to the user both on screen and via audible signals.
Even more functionality by adding a Side-Power radio remote!
When a Side-Power radio remote is added to the system you get even more benefits from the speed control system. If you are docking alone - having the PJC panel automatically pushing the boat against the dock while you go put the mooring lines on, you might wish to increase the thrust on the bow thruster momentarily to make it really tight. Pressing the bow thruster button on the remote will then let you do this. You can also shut down the hold function without going to a fixed control panel by selecting to run any of the thrusters in opposite direction of what the hold function is doing.
www.side-power.com
System features
A DC Speed Control system contains three main elements - proportional control panels, a power control unit and a DC electric thruster - all tied together with the new S-link control system. The thrusters used in a speed control system is almost identical to the familiar SE range of DC thrusters, the only difference being the addition of a temperature sensor and a new electronic control box. All mechanical and main electric parts are from the well proven thruster range produced by Side-Power for many years. All 12 & 24 volt DC electric thrusters produced by Side-Power can be enabled for DC Speed Control by authorized Side-Power service personnel, even the oldest models.

“Easy does it with variable-speed thrusters”
“...Until now the luxury of adjusting how much thrust you use to manoevre a big boat in or out of a tight spot has been the preserve of expensive and bulky hydraulic thruster systems. Sleipner’s new 12/24V system is a much more cost effective set-up and considerably more compact than a hydraulic system. It should also help resolve the issue of not being able to use an electronic thruster for long periods of time without overheating, because you‘ll rarely be using it on full power all the time...”
“...Using conventional DC thrusters, offering full power or nothing, we would have had to apply numerous bursts to keep it rotating. With the variable-speed system we were able to use a smaller amount of continous thrust. Not only was this more intuitive, but it made for a quieter, more relaxed manoeuvre. The more power you want, the more you push the twin paddle switches...”
“...This means that like a hydraulic system it also has a hold function, enabling you to set and leave the level of thrust. It’s a feature that shorthanded skippers often rely on to pin their boats against the dock while they step off to secure the lines...”
“...The other big bonus is a remote control that allows you to operate both thrusters from wherever you chose, so you can take up station on the side deck and walk the boat in while keeping an eye on he gap...”

• Noise reductions of up to 75% measured in controlled environments
• The expected and tested normal noise reduction in
“average installations” 20-40%
• Upgrade kits are available for most “SP” series thrusters with special adaptors
• Provides delay between drive directions
• Monitors solenoid functions to reduce the chance of solenoid lock-in
• Will stop the thruster in case of a locked-in solenoid, without extra user action and even without controlling a main switch.
The thruster gear leg is filled with oil from a remote reservoir located above the waterline. This generates overpressure, making an effective seal against water intrusion in the gear leg.
• Separate oil reservoir placed above the waterline.
• Allows easy access for oil changes
• Having the advantage to be able to change oil in units used commercially, with hundreds of running hours per year.
Sealed gear leg with long-life “mechanical” seal where highly polished ceramic and carbon surfaces form the only moving sealing surfaces, ensuring protection against damaging water intrusion into the gear leg. Pre-filled with special gear oil for lifetime lubrication.
• “Mechanical” seals with surfaces of ceramic and carbon for ultimate security against water intrusion
SINGLE PROPELLER:
A properly engineered single propeller system will be the most energy efficient thruster. Its compact design fits easily into narrow bows making it the perfect match for our smaller
models. With more than 60.000 single propeller thrusters in use, the Sidepower single series system has proven its reliability.
TWIN PROPELLERS:
The twin propeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel dia meter. This is our choice for our mid-range models where high thrust is required in a small tunnel diameter. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the thrusters of choice among boat builders around the world.
TWIN COUNTER ROTATING PROPELLERS:
Two counter-rotating propellers can give the most thrust at a good performance ratio in a minimal tunnel diameter. This system is used in our larger thrusters for maximum power.
The TC models are the favourite thrusters among leading boatbuilders for their high-end yachts.
The gearhouse / drive legs of most Side-Power DC Electric thrusters are now fully galvanically isolated / separated from the electric motor and motor bracket. This ensures that even if there is an accidental short circuit or a current leak for other reasons, the immersed parts are not effected as they could be with direct electric contact.
To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats, we offer modified versions of our DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in stern and other locations that may get wet or be exposed to gasoline fumes. These thrusters are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with gasoline engines. They have a hermetically sealed composite housing around all electric parts. This provides the ignition protection as no gasoline fumes can enter and be ignited by sparks.
The other advantage is that the electric parts that could be damaged by water are also covered and protected, making these thrusters the ideal choice for other stern thruster installations where it is difficult to ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.
S-LINK:
S-link is a ”CAN” based control system with full intelligent communication between all units in the system, much like a computer network.
Main advantages include:
- Round, compact and waterproof plugs with unique
keying and color coding to avoid faulty hookup
- Unlimited number of commands or information
transfer on a single cable
- User feedback at panel
- Intelligent troubleshooting.
DC SPEED CONTROL:
A DC Speed Control system contains three main elements - proportional control panels, a power control unit and a DC electric thruster - all tied together with the new S-link control system. The thrusters used in a speed control system is almost identical to the familiar SE range of DC thrusters, the only difference being the addition of a temperature sensor and a new electronic control box. All mechanical and main electric parts are from the well proven thruster range produced by Side-Power for many years. All 12 & 24 volt DC electric thrusters produced by Side-Power can be enabled for
DC Speed Control by authorized Side-Power service personnel, even the oldest models.
With the ever growing demand for increased performance, we continue to expand our offering of tunnel diameters to allow customers to choose more powerful thrusters in tunnel sizes that will fit in their boat. The latest addition is the 215mm tunnel, between the existing ø185mm and ø250mm sizes. This size is very important for boat sizes around the 50’ / 15m mark, where we have seen that boats have become much more voluminous than before, requiring larger thrusters to achieve the same maneuverability. We will continue to launch new tunnel diameters where appropriate to let our customers get the performance they want in their boats.
Facts about tunnel sizes:
• Principally a larger tunnel diameter will always be more energy efficient than a smaller tunnel diameter for the same thrust.
The factor is water speed, and this is decided by the amount of water you move through the possible opening which is the square area of the tunnel less the area blocked by the thrusters gearleg.
• The opening in the boat hull is not only the circular size of the tunnel diameter. Because the hull is angled, you get a much larger oval opening, and this makes a larger tunnel diameter more difficult to fit properly into the hull.

S-link Handheld radio remotes
A radio remote control makes your thruster system even more helpful around the docks. Providing full simultaneous control of a bow and a stern thruster or a bow thruster and a windlass, making shorthanded boating much easier.
Changes in the new model:
• The remote transmitter features visual and audible alarms.
• Warning/alert given when the transmitter have no contact with the receiver
and when the thruster supply voltage is to low.
• Dedicated version for S-link thrusters (8730 interface no longer required).
• New external antenna solution for better reception and easier remote
placement of the antenna (Extension cable available).
• More energy efficient transmitter- uses only one battery,
maintains operating time from earlier model with two batteries.

Products
There is a limit to the power you can practically generate with DC electrical systems, so for super yachts and other larger, heavier vessels DC thrusters are rarely an option.
Larger thruster models and extended run time make hydraulic or AC electric thrusters the ideal choice for commercial crafts and other less maneuverable yachts. In conjunction with a good hydraulic system these thrusters offer continuous operation and you can get variable speed control with proportional control and valves. The last generation hydraulic and AC electric thruster systems features the S-link control system with two way communication, opening for a whole new range of features.
With models from 100 to 1400kg of thrust for use as either bow or stern thrusters,
Side-Power has suitable models for a wide variety of yachts and commercial vessels. To ensure matching quality of all components in a hydraulic thruster system, we also offer complete hydraulic systems with guaranteed performance and reliability.
Please see the separate hydraulic and AC electric system brochure or ask your dealer for more details.
Thrusters - Stabilizers - Steering
Hydraulic thruster systems
For many vessels, a hydraulic system offers an economic advantage because of the possibility to run several systems onboard from a centra lized hydraulic power source. This will save cost on the individual components so that the complete package ends up with a more favorable cost compared to running all items with individual DC electric motors.
Equipment that is often powered by a centralized hydraulic system in cludes windlasses, stabilizers, winches, cranes, furling systems and lifting mechanisms etc.
There are many different ways of designing hydraulic systems, and some solutions are better for specific applications than others. Side-Power hydraulic systems are designed to provide outstanding performance and flexibility to efficiently support any on-board hydraulic equipment that is sensible to power from a centralized hydraulic system.
AC electric thruster systems
The new thrusters in the SH and the SAC range are part of a total yacht control system. All of the Side-Power systems communicate on a shared CAN-Bus based S-Link system.
The S-Link system enables the best integration possible no matter what the combination of equipment. AC Thrusters can be combined with hydraulic stabilizers. An AC bow thruster can be used with a hydraulic stern thruster and, in fact, any combination of Side-Power equipment imaginable can be used.
Stabilizer systems
• Increased comfort on board
- More use of the boat as you can go out in more weather conditions
- Less wear and tear of the boat as you do not have to always head into or away
from larger waves to avoid people onboard becoming seasick by the
uncomfortable rolling motion
• Less overall fuel consumption
- While adding fins (or other types) basically will increasing the fuel consumption
a little at the same speed, our claim is that the overall fuel consumption will be
reduced
- You can take the direct route to where you wish to go even in rough conditions
- You can go at a lower speed with the waves from the side while still being
comfortable (modern cruisers have less roll at higher speeds, thereby people
often drive them hard to avoid the rolling)
Steering systems
In addition to traditional hydraulic steering systems and electro-hydraulic power steering systems, Side-Power has also developed a Superyacht-specific steering system. While designing this, we have been able to draw from almost 100 years of experience with steering systems, and from our extensive knowledge on hydraulic systems.
The Side-Power Superyacht Steering is a RINA-classed system which fills all demands to a commercial grade steering system.
The Superyacht steering control system is a “fly-by-wire” system based around the same Slink bus as the Thruster and Stabilizer systems - the difference is that in the Steering System everything is made with dual configurations, to meet the required redundancy level. This dual configuration extends to the mechanical and hydraulic side of the system as well.
The Superyacht Steering can be operated from a traditional helm or by joystick and the system is ready for autopilot interfacing.
