Accidental activation of the retract mechanism can cause serious injury due to the high-pressure force used for closing the hatch. IF operating the hatch during any work/ maintenance around or inside the retract hatch, USE CAUTION. MC_0411 Sleipner Motor AS P.O.

• The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment. (NB: Sleipner Ignition Protected systems are tested and rated accordance with ISO 8846 and can be installed in areas with possible explosive gases.)

Any attempt to directly control or connect into the S-Link™ control system without a designated and approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities of all of the connected Sleipner products. If you are interfacing the S-Link™ bus by agreement with Sleipner through a designated Sleipner supplied interface, you are still required to install at least one original Sleipner control panel to enable efficient troubleshooting if necessary.

Positioning of the Retract Thruster Retract Thruster Ensure enough space for the complete retract unit including room for installation of SRF flange and for future service. Allow 100 mm of clear space around the thruster for moulding of the SRF flange. Ensure that when the thruster is deployed the depth of the propeller exceeds the minimum tunnel depth defined in below table.
Preparing a Sandwich Hull for Retract Systems MC_0067 Identify the location of the thruster considering space required for installation, operation and future maintenance. Ensure to have a minimum of 100mm space around the thruster installation to have service access Bow thrusters must be positioned on the boat centre line.
Marking and Trimming of SRF Flange MC_0068 Flip the SRF flange upside down and position it at the identifi ed installation location. Use the internal edge to mark were to cut out the thruster hatch from the hull. The SRF flange must sit so the two side rails run flush with the hull. To do so the SRF flange must be trimmed down to match the hull profi le curvature.
Page 10
Marking and Trimming of SRF Flange MC_0068 If cutting from outside, prepare for cutting by drilling 4 holes at 45º angle towards starboard and port side. The hatch opening must be cut at an angle of 45º on three sides and 30º on the side facing the bow. This ensures that forces from water hitting the closed hatch is absorbed by the surrounding hull.
Installation Pre-check MC_0713 Perform a temporarily installation to verify that there is no mechanical conflict when deploying and retracting the thruster. 1. Attach the retract housing to the SRF flange with 4 bolts, position the thruster over the hull opening. Temporarily attach the hatch to the twistrings. (NB: Ensure correct orientation for the thruster to open the hatch facing the direction of water flow.
Required Modifi cations After Pre-check MC_0721 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! To increase the space between the hatch and the hull the entire SRF flange and motor must be raised at the stern end. With the hatch in the open position raise the stern end of the SRF flange and motor until the appropriate clearance is achieved.
SRF Flange Installation MC_0068 Before grinding of hull and SRF flange, precautions must be taken against grinding dust inside the boat. Surfaces to be moulded/bonded must be ground to remove coating and material to achieve suffi cient adhesion. Apply glue/fi ller on bottom edges of SRF flange or on the hull for bonding between connection surfaces. Ensure the fi ller is compatible with hull materials.
Motor House Installation MC_0722 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Apply MS Polymer or equivalent on SRF flange top surface to seal and avoid water leakage. (NB: Ensure that glue is compatible with SRF and thruster case materials.) Place the thruster housing on the SRF flange.
Hatch Installation MC_0723 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Fit pin bolts to the lower tunnel rods. The ends of the bolts must be sharp to create marks in the hatch. The pin bolts must be at the correct height so the hatch will fi...
