(NB: This is a safety measure to ensure the ﬁ n will not break through the hull in a collision situation.) Sleipner curved Vector Fin design comes with additional beneﬁ ts in hull safety. Any impact with the ground will not only bend the shaft backwards and outward, allowing the ﬁ...
Page 11: Fin Positioning
Fin Positioning MC_0207 Fins should not extend outside the beam or below the keel when in neutral position. Fins should be placed as far outboard as possible, and NOT in-line with the propellers, to ensure avoiding possible disturbance of the water flow to the props which in the worst case can cause vibrations / cavitation.
Page 12 Fin Positioning MC_0207 Middle 1/4 of Waterline Waterline at rest Waterline at speed Middle 1/4 of Waterline at speed To avoid unwanted influences on the steering characteristics, the ﬁ ns should be placed close to the vessel longitudinal centre of gravity (LCG) - If unknown, this is usually a little aft of 50% of the waterline length.
Page 13 With Vector ﬁ nsTM it is a priority to push the ﬁ ns as far outboard as possible to achieve the most leverage for the ﬁ ns forces unlike standard ﬁ ns. With Sleipner stabilizers enable installation of the ﬁ ns to have different stroke angles inboard and outboard as the locked centre and cruising centre is flexible because they are locked hydraulically.
Page 14: Fin Modification Tunnel Ends
Fin Modiﬁ cation MC_0207 In case of the ﬁ n positioning being so that you need to cut down some of the top aft end of the ﬁ n to avoid it hitting the hull (very typical on planning boats with hard chines), please do so as per the instructions below.

Fins are now free and can be moved manually to the required position.
Page 26 Hydraulic Installation MC_0217 Accumulator tank All stabilizer systems have accumulator tanks. The main purpose of the accumulator is to create additional capacity and quicker response to the stabilizing system. It also has a pulse dampening effect for the system. For Nitrogen(N2) ﬁ lling and testing procedure - see HYDAC manual. (Accumulator tank supplier) Bladder charge pressure - 45bar. Base kit (Filling kit) - 321308 covers these countries: Austria, Belgium, Check Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland.

Any attempt to directly control or at all connect into the S-link control system without the designated and approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities for the complete line of Sleipner products connected void and null.
Page 30 Electrical Installation MC_0218 Mounting the SCU: Mount the SCU on a bulkhead perpendicular to the keel, as central as possible in the boat (so it moves as little as possible). A typical location is the forward or aftward engine room bulkhead. It must be installed with the cable outlet facing DOWN - the direction if it is mounted facing forward or aft, a setting stating the direction is done in the control panel during setup.
Page 31 Electrical Installation MC_0218 Mounting the Control Panel: The main operating panel can be ﬁ tted on the dashboard(s) from the front using four screws with a smooth plastic cover. Or, it can be “flush mounted” by rear-ﬁ tting using studs or other solutions. The Stabilizer operating panel is a 4,3” sunlight-readable touch panel, that is used for setup and operation of the stabilizer system as well as other parts of the S-link system.

Page 36: S-Link System Description
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.
