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. Today most pleasure craft over 35' have a bow thruster as standard equipment which normally will meet the expectations of most cus- tomers 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 typi- cal...

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...

With many boat customers now having had several boats with thrusters, their functional demand of their thruster sys- tem has increased so that many choose to upgrade to more powerful thrusters than standard and even request hydraulic thrust- er systems to ensure that run-time limita- tions in DC electric thrusters will not be a problem. However, very powerful single speed thrusters can, in light weather condi- tions, 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. DC Speed...

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 thrust- ers produced by Side-Power can...

Depending on the boat's construction, there might be several different ways to route the S-link backbone. Find the most practical way to implement the backbone and remember that the S-link equipment do not need to be connected in a specific Example of the control wiring with S-link system for boats with one control position and one retractable thruster Example of the control wiring with S-link system for boats with proportional retractable thrusters

Side-Power features The new 5 blade special skew propellers are the result of over 2 years of development work and thousands of tests. They have been designed to reduce the noise level, while maintaining the exceptional efficiency of the old 4 blade Side-Power propellers. This goal was achieved, and we even chose to make a little bit more aggressive on some models, increasing the thrust on most thrusters. Please see individual information on each new thruster for more details. • Noise reductions of up to 75% measured in controlled environments • The expected and tested normal noise...
