Side-Power SH100 Tunnel Bow/Stern Thruster Hydraulic U06

Properties

FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

Sidepower's Thrusters are designed to allow installation at any angle on the tunnel and the motor at various rotations on the bracket. The installation flexibility for Sidepower's thruster systems is created to work with the space you have! not the space you need.

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE

Powered by hydraulic pressure.

FLEXIBLE COUPLING

Flexible coupling between electronic motor and driveshaft protects both the electronic motor and gear systems if the propeller jams or obstructs.

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.

• Round, compact and waterproof connectors with unique keying and color coding to avoid faulty hookup
• Unlimited number of commands or information transferred on a single cable
• User feedback on the panel
• Intelligent troubleshooting

PRO - VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

A PRO thruster system with variable speed control allows for more precise handling of the boat in all conditions, applying only the necessary power needed to complete your maneuver confidently.

By limiting the power under normal weather conditions, noise levels are significantly reduced. The system also includes a practical hold-function in a twin thruster system. With a single press of a button, the bow and stern thruster will keep you alongside the docks - making docking truly a one-person job. PRO thrusters are the best choice for joystick interaction.

A PRO system contains three main elements - a control panel, a power control unit, and a DC electric thruster - all tied together with the S-link control system. All mechanical and main electric parts are from the well-proven thruster range produced by Sleipner for many years.

All of Sleipner's 12 and 24 volt DC electric thrusters can be enabled for variable speed control by authorized Sleipner service personnel, even past models.

IGNITION PROTECTION

To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats,Sidepower offer modified versions of Sidepower's 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.

SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION

Sealed gearleg 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

TWIN PROPELLERS

The twin propeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. This is Sidepower's choice for Sidepower's 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.

Q-PROP

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 Sleipner propellers. This goal was achieved, andSidepower even chose to make them a little bit more aggressive on some models, increasing the thrust on some thrusters about 5%. 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 reduction in average installations: 20-40%
• Will be delivered on all Sleipner models except models with 300 mm and 385 mm tunnel diameter
• Upgrade kits are available for most SP series thrusters with special adaptors
