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 SE50/140 S 4319 2023...
In the High water force event when the boat is traveling at high speeds it while underway will commonly pound upon the water surface. High water force while underway from wave contact MG_0003 SE50/140 S 4319 2023...
This “free” extra thrust in optimal installations be 30 - 40% of the total thrust. (NB: A Sleipner 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.)
(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 SE50/140 S 4319 2023...

You must apply gel coat to areas you have grounded/ moulded to make waterproof. These areas allow water access to the hull which is typically not waterproof without these applications outside. (NB: All original Sleipner tunnels are fully waterproof when delivered except in the areas where you have cut and bonded it to the hull.)
