• If able ensure that stern-drives/ trim-tabs do not interfere with the water flow from the thruster as this can reduce the thrust effectiveness considerably. We recommend the use of our Sleipner cowls to enhance the performance and allow installation in shallow draft boats. Sleipner cowls will also minimise the effect if stern-drives/ trim-tabs obstruct the thruster. -

Page 7: Positioning The Stern Thruster
The average force the thruster propels water is 5-7 meters per sec, therefore angled installations must be as deep as possible under the water to minimise spray breaking beyond the water surface. (NB: install the thruster at an angle only if no other suitable location can be found.) Max hull thickness 50mm include spacer SX35 & SX50 5630 2021... -

1. Remove propeller and the old tunnel. (NB: the tunnel is not designed to be removed non-destructively. Break off the snap locks between the tunnel half ends by pushing a small screwdriver through the holes from the outside.) 2. Follow the above installation process. IMPORTANT Remember the tunnel can not be removed without being destroyed. SX35 & SX50 5630 2021... -
Page 11: Tunnel Installation
Connect both ends of the tunnel to the thruster motor. All hooks must be completely interlocked making the inside of the tunnel smooth. (NB: Ensure tunnel moulding around the gear leg and tunnel top align.) IMPORTANT Ensure all snap-lock positions are correctly connected into place. SX35 & SX50 5630 2021... -
