Page 7 Positioning of the tunnel / thruster MC_0003 Aim to install the thruster as far forward as possible (1) Due to the leverage effect around the boats’ pivot point. The distance difference from the boat pivots’ point to the thruster will determine the amount of real rotation power for the boat.
Page 8 Tunnel Length MC_0003 Optimal tunnel length Achieving the correct tunnel length depends on many factors from the hull type, operation and environmental conditions. Tunnels should avoid being longer than 4 x the tunnel diameter as this will reduce thruster performance. (NB: Installing long length tunnels can flex/ bend over time and may require additional support.
Page 9 Tunnel installation in Sailboats MC_0003 Some sail boats have a flat bottom and shallow draft in the bow section. This can make installing the thruster as far forward from the boats main pivot point difﬁ cult. (Fig. 1). However, it is possible to install a tunnel thruster in most sail boats, even when the hull does not directly support the ﬁ tting of a tunnel. Instead ﬁ...
Page 10 Water Deflection MC_0003 A possible problem in sail boats or fast powerboats is that a non-rounded surface can generate drag from the back face of the tunnel, as it creates a “flat” area facing the flow of water. This problem can be solved in two different ways, depending on what is possible or easier to perform. The best solution which generally reduces the most drag is to make a recess in the hull at the back of the tunnel.
Page 11 Tunnel Ends MC_0003 Rounded tunnel ends will maximise thrust and minimise noise and cavitation. For best performance round the tunnel connection to the hull-side as much as possible. The minimum rounding has a radius of 10% of the diameter of the tunnel.
Page 12 Tunnel Installation MC_0003 IMPORTANT We recommend that a professional does the ﬁ breglass, steel or aluminium ﬁ tting of the tunnel. These instructions are only general instructions and do not explain in any way the details of ﬁ breglass work. Problems caused by faulty installation of the tunnel, are the installers full responsibility. Find the position in the boat considering the information earlier in this manual and the applicable measurements for the thruster model you are installing.
Page 13 Tunnel Installation MC_0003 With tunnel installed and cast. Round the edges with a radius of 10% of the tunnel diameter. For steel/ aluminium hulls make a slope with a length of 10-15% of the tunnel diameter. (NB: If this is not possible, round the tunnel end as much as possible.) Additionally cast two layers on the outside of the tunnel/ hull in a 10cm area Follow the same method if making the deflector/ spoiler.

Page 16 Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation MC_0001 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Mark the tunnel centreline and the boat’s centreline. (NB: Install the gear leg and propeller as shown for the thrust direction to correspond with the control panel.
Page 17 Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation MC_0001 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Place the gear leg (without the propeller) with the gasket on inside the tunnel. Place the propeller on the gear leg (NB: Do not secure the propeller with securing parts) to ensure it is centred and rotates freely with the same clearance from each blade to the tunnel wall.
Page 18 Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation MC_0001 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Apply appropriate sealant to both sides of the gasket and place on the gear leg. Place the gear leg in the tunnel (without the propeller). Use appropriate sealant to ensure that no leakages occur.
Page 19 Propeller Installation MC_0264 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Centre the drive pin and insert the propeller onto the shaft spline. Rotate the propeller until the drive pin aligns with the internal slot in the propeller.
Page 20 Coupling Installation MC_0027 Parts must be aligned with precision to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the coupling, consider the combination of axial, radial and angular misalignment. IMPORTANT Only use original bolts delivered with the Sleipner thruster. Also, avoid contact between the AC motor shaft and the coupling drive shaft. Centa has applied retention Inbus Plus all glue to all bolts.

The PDC 301 proportional drive controller controls the speed and direction signals for the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controlling the electric motor. The user control panels transmit this information to the Controller. VFD status and alarm signals, as well as motor speed feedback is received by the PDC 301 and transmitted to the control panels.
