Sleipner products. The recommendations given in this document are guidelines ONLY, and Sleipner strongly recommends that advice is obtained from a person familiar with the particular vessel and applicable regulations.
- The electric thermal cut-off switch in electro motor protects against overheating (auto-reset when electro motor cools down). - Flexible coupling between electro-motor and drive shaft protects electro motor and gear system if propeller jams. - Original Sleipner panels shut off automatically 6 minutes after last use. - Original Sleipner panels use child-safe double ON buttons.
Positioning of the tunnel / thruster MC_0003 Aim to install the thruster as far forward as possible (1) Due to the leverage effect around the boats’ pivot point. The distance difference from the boat pivots’ point to the thruster will determine the amount of real rotation power for the boat.
Tunnel Length MC_0003 Optimal tunnel length Achieving the correct tunnel length depends on many factors from the hull type, operation and environmental conditions. Tunnels should avoid being longer than 4 x the tunnel diameter as this will reduce thruster performance. (NB: Installing long length tunnels can flex/ bend over time and may require additional support.
Tunnel installation in Sailboats MC_0003 Some sail boats have a flat bottom and shallow draft in the bow section. This can make installing the thruster as far forward from the boats main pivot point diffi cult. (Fig. 1). However, it is possible to install a tunnel thruster in most sail boats, even when the hull does not directly support the fi tting of a tunnel. Instead fi...
Water Deflection MC_0003 A possible problem in sail boats or fast powerboats is that a non-rounded surface can generate drag from the back face of the tunnel, as it creates a “flat” area facing the flow of water. This problem can be solved in two different ways, depending on what is possible or easier to perform. The best solution which generally reduces the most drag is to make a recess in the hull at the back of the tunnel.
Tunnel Ends MC_0003 Rounded tunnel ends will maximise thrust and minimise noise and cavitation. For best performance round the tunnel connection to the hull-side as much as possible. The minimum rounding has a radius of 10% of the diameter of the tunnel.
Tunnel Installation MC_0003 IMPORTANT We recommend that a professional does the fi breglass, steel or aluminium fi tting of the tunnel. These instructions are only general instructions and do not explain in any way the details of fi breglass work. Problems caused by faulty installation of the tunnel, are the installers full responsibility.

Tunnel Installation MC_0003 With tunnel installed and cast. Round the edges with a radius of 10% of the tunnel diameter. For steel/ aluminium hulls make a slope with a length of 10-15% of the tunnel diameter. (NB: If this is not possible, round the tunnel end as much as possible.) Additionally cast two layers on the outside of the tunnel/ hull in a 10cm area Follow the same method if making the deflector/ spoiler.

Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation MC_0001 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Mark the tunnel centreline and the boat’s centreline. (NB: Install the gear leg and propeller as shown above for the thrust direction to correspond with the control panel.
Propeller Installation MC_0017 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Insert the propeller onto the shaft spine. Rotate the propeller until the shaft spline aligns with the internal spline in the propeller. Insert the washer to the end of the shaft spline. Fasten with the propeller lock-nut. Apply anti-fouling to the gear leg and propeller.
Motor Installation MC_0043 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Insert the drive pin to the motor drive shaft. Insert the coupling to align with the drive pin in the motor shaft. Install the motor onto the motor bracket ensuring the couplings are engaged together correctly (top and bottom). (NB: The motor can be placed in all directions on the motor bracket.
Thruster Electrical Installation MC_0143 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Information of electrical table. see next page - All power cable lengths represent the total length of the combined (+) and (-) cables. - Battery capacity is stated as minimum cold crank capacity, (CCA).
Technical Wiring Diagram NB! Make sure to not use NB! Make sure to not use any electronic interface any electronic interface box (delay box) older than box (delay box) older than the 6 1232i (ex. 6 122x) the 6 1232i (ex. 6 122x) on SP75Ti, SP95Ti, and SP125Ti.
(NB: If two or more control panels are operated at the same time in opposite directions, the electronic control box will stop the thruster until it receives a single signal or thrust in one direction.) • Sleipner on/off equipment it is entirely “plug & play” and require no additional confi guration setup.
