SLEIPNER E150 eVision PROPORTIONAL TUNNEL THRUSTER | 24V | 150KG/330LB THRUST | 215MM TUNNEL

SLEIPNER E150 eVision PROPORTIONAL TUNNEL THRUSTER | 24V | 150KG/330LB THRUST | 215MM TUNNEL

Command mid-sized hulls with unmatched endurance, zero performance fade, and high-efficiency 24V brushless power. The Sleipner Side-Power E150/215T-24V represents the absolute vanguard of marine electric thruster engineering. Designed explicitly for motorboats, cruisers, and sailboats from 44 to 64 feet, this premium eVision series unit packs a precise 150 kg (330 lbs) of continuous variable thrust into a compact 8.46-inch (215mm) tunnel diameter.

At the heart of the E150 is a revolutionary 6-phase PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) with an integrated motor inverter drive. By completely eliminating old-fashioned mechanical brushes and integrating the motor controller directly onto the motor frame, this state-of-the-art system runs significantly cooler, draws fewer amps, and is up to 50% lighter and 40% more compact than traditional DC motors in its class.

Key Features:

• Next-Gen Brushless PMSM Technology: Moving away from standard brushes to an automotive-grade, 6-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor means a near-infinite lifespan, zero carbon dust buildup, and maximum electrical-to-mechanical efficiency.

• Extended Runtimes & Active Cooling: Traditional DC thrusters overheat and force an automatic shutdown within a few minutes. The E150 utilizes an integrated smart inverter and an active air-cooling fan system to safely stretch runtimes. If thermal boundaries are pushed, it seamlessly derates power slightly rather than shutting down completely.

• True Proportional Power (S-Link™ Ready): Replaces harsh, loud on/off blasting with fluid variable speed control via a CAN-bus network. Apply a quiet, metered 10% nudge to counter light harbor drift, or leverage the automated "Hold" function to single-handedly pin the boat against the slip while you safely handle mooring lines.

• High-Thrust Twin Propellers: Outfitted with twin, aerodynamically skewed 5-blade composite Q-Prop™ propellers. This dual configuration packs maximum thrust density into a tight 215mm footprint while dropping cabin noise and hull vibrations by up to 75%.

• Ignition Protected (ISO 8846) & IPx7 Waterproof: Completely hermetically sealed, making it safe for installation in gasoline engine bays, fuel lockers, or moist bilge spaces where standard open-frame motors present safety hazards.

• Complete Galvanic Separation: The immersed drive gearleg is entirely isolated from the vessel's onboard electrical grid. This breaks the electrical circuit, completely removing the threat of stray-current galvanic corrosion eating away your underwater gear.

• Zero Maintenance Sealed Lubrication: Features a lifetime-lubricated gearhousing protected by a heavy-duty ceramic-on-carbon mechanical seal interface, completely eliminating periodic gear oil changes.

Pro Tip: By integrating the variable-speed motor drive inverter directly onto the motor frame, Sleipner has eliminated the massive external controller boxes required by older variable speed setups. This drastically simplifies your wiring layout, saves engine room volume, and lightens your electrical rigging load.
