Page 7: Positioning Of The Tunnel / Thruster
Positioning of the tunnel / thruster MC_0003 1. Aim to install the thruster as far forward as possible 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. 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
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
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.) -
Page 12: Tunnel Installation
Tunnel Installation MC_0003 The following 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. Seek a professional boat builder when modifying the hull. 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 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.)

Propeller Installation MC_0018 Apply anti-fouling to the gear leg and propeller. Do not apply anti-fouling to any rubber elements of the gear leg or anodes. Centre the drive pin and insert the propeller onto the shaft spine. Rotate the propeller until the drive pin aligns with the internal slot in the propeller. -
Page 20: Coupling Installation
CAUTION 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. (NB: The glue will harden within 4-5 hours at 20˚C.) Additional use of any loctite or anaerobic adhesives will destroy the natural vulcanisation of the rubber. - Page 21 The coupling is entirely maintenance free. Avoid contact with oil and similar substances since the natural rubber is not oil resistant. For a detailed Universal Joint Shaft installation manual, contact your Sleipner dealer. Add protection to the Universal Joint Shaft according to relevant safety regulations.

Oil tank installation MC_0023 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Install the oil container above the waterline by at least 20% of the distance from the waterline to the centre of the tunnel. This ensures enough overpressure for the oil in the gear leg. -
