"If there's one company that can claim overall leadership of the rec- reational boating market for bow and stern thrusters, it must be Norway * s Sleipner Motor. Its Side- Power brand sells worldwide with a broad model range that covers almost every permutation of thrust- er technology for boats from 20ft - The boat builder's choice 3 Planning your system 6 A complete thruster system 7 Dear fellow boater Over the last year, through a combination of new product development and acquisition, we found ourselves at a point where, in terms of numbers, we now offer the market more DC electric...

Side-Power features: 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. 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 To...

Control panels with child safe on/off and time lapse auto-off prevent accidental or unintentional operation ­ Self re-setting overheat protection automatically stops the thruster before overheating Intelligent direction change delay simplifies operation and prevents damage from operator error Control system only accepts continuous run signal for 3 min. User warning before overheat protection activates Side-Power developed special solenoid contactors to ensure ­ correct function and maximum l­ifetime in a boat Closed solenoid contacts prevent dust from getting into the ­contacts easy service...

Planning your system 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. Today most pleasure craft over 35’ have a bow thruster as standard equipment which normally will meet the ­ xpectations e 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...

Side-Power Thrusters - 7

Against most beliefs, a stern thruster does not require more thrust to give the same effect as the bow thruster. The reason for this is that the stern thruster is mounted outside the hull, thereby further from the boats pivot point when using the thruster and thus gets more leverage. Depending on boat type and wind area of the boat, same size or the model below will, for most, be a good match to the bow thruster, given that the bow thruster is dimensioned correctly in the first place. However, if there are obstacles in the water flow, to and/or from the stern thruster, more thrust might be...

Side-Power Thrusters - 8

DC Electric thrusters 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 & EB series tunnel 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 stern thrusters. The electric motors, solenoids, patented IPC control system and the mechanical parts of the propulsion system are all totally...

Side-Power Thrusters - 10

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...

Side-Power Thrusters - 11

A PRO 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 are 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 SidePower for many years. All 12 & 24 volt DC electric thrusters produced by Side-Power can be enabled for PRO with DC Speed...
