Page 3: Responsibility Of The Installer
If required by local regulation, electrical work must be done by a licensed professional. Appropriate health and safety procedures must be followed during installation. Faulty installation of Sleipner products will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor AS. Ensure appropriate access to Sleipner products during installation planning for service, inspection and component replacement. - Page 4 General Installation Consideration and Precaution Guidelines MC_0440 Lithium Batteries for proportional thrusters models MC_0502 • If a lithium battery system is installed for supply of proportional thrusters, ensure the battery is designed for continuous supply of the required thruster current. Under-rated battery management system can suddenly disconnect the load which may lead to dangerous situations. The fi rmware version of Proportional Power Controller (PPC) must be of version 1.033 or later if the PPC is to be connected to a lithium battery.

Page 7: Positioning Of The Tunnel / Thruster
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
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
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 t the tunnel halfway into the underneath section of the existing hull. -
Page 10: Water Deflection
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
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
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 15: Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation
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 16 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 17 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.
