• If able ensure that sterndrives/ trimtabs do not interfere with the water fl ow from the thruster as this can reduce the thrust eff ectiveness considerably. We recommend the use of our Side-Power cowls to enhance the performance and allow installation in shallow draft boats. Side-Power cowls will also minimise the eff...

STERN MG_0162 Positioning of the SX with Hydrodynamical Cover MC_0072 Aim to install the thruster as far forward/ Aft as possible Due to the leverage eff ect around the boats’ pivot point. The relative distance diff erence from the boat pivots’ point to the thruster will determine the amount of real thrust for the boats, rotation.
S-link control system without the designated and approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities for the complete line of Side-Power products connected void and null. If you are interfacing by agreement with Sleipner and through a designated Side-Power supplied interface, you are still required to also install at least one original Side-Power control panel to enable effi...
