This installation is being used by some of the world’s largest sail boat builders and has proven to give little to no speed loss during normal cruising. This can also be an installation method for flat bottomed barges to avoid extremely long tunnels and large oval tunnel openings in the hull. Pos. A Pos. B MG_0004 SEP60 2721 2021...

(NB: A Side-power thruster propeller does not produce cavitation at working speed. Therefore, any cavitation and cavitation noise in the tunnel will be caused during improper tunnel installation.) R = 0,1 x D (10%) Cavitation Angled tunnel ends for steel/ aluminium hulls MG_0002 SEP60 2721 2021...
(NB: Ensure gaps between the tunnel and the hull are completely fi lled with resin/ fi breglass. In areas where you can not access to make layers of resin/ fi breglass, a resin/ fi breglass mixture must be used in that area.) 8 x layers of fiberglass and resin 8 x layers of fiberglass and resin MG_0005 SEP60 2721 2021...

MC_0120 S-Link is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel. The system uses BACKBONE Cables as a common power and communication bus with separate SPUR Cables to each connected unit. Units with low power consumption are powered directly from the S-Link bus therefore one power cable must be connected to the BACKBONE Cable through a T-Connector.
(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. See the Control panel manual for more information. PJC 212...
