SLEIPNER SE100/185T-24V SIDE-POWER TUNNEL THRUSTER | 24V | TWIN PROPS | 220-255LB THRUST

SLEIPNER SE100/185T-24V SIDE-POWER TUNNEL THRUSTER | 24V | TWIN PROPS | 220-255LB THRUST

Take absolute control of your vessel with the proven industry standard for rugged, high-output docking power. The Sleipner Side-Power SE100/185T-24V is a heavy-duty, ultra-reliable DC electric tunnel thruster engineered for motor yachts, cruisers, and sailboats from 35 to 55 feet. Highly regarded for its impressive power-to-size ratio, this system packs immense maneuvering force into a compact, standard 7.28-inch (185mm) tunnel diameter.

The SE100 utilizes a specialized high-torque 24V electric motor coupled to a ruggedized, underwater gearleg. It generates a formidable 220 lbs (100 kg) of thrust at a 21V nominal load, ramping all the way up to 255 lbs (116 kg) of thrust under a full 24V peak load, allowing you to confidently counter heavy crosswinds and strong dockside currents.

Key Features:

• Patented Intelligent Power Control (IPC): Sleipner's advanced microprocessor-controlled system protects your thruster from mechanical wear and operator error. It enforces a minimal safety delay when switching drive directions, monitors solenoid function, and automatically halts the thruster in the rare event of a solenoid lock-in.

• Twin Counter-Rotating Q-Prop™ Propellers: Features dual, 5-blade composite skew propellers spinning in opposite directions. This twin-prop configuration packs maximum thrust density into a narrow 185mm footprint while dropping tunnel cavitation noise and hull vibrations by up to 75%.

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

• Zero Maintenance Sealed Lubrication: Features a lifetime-lubricated gearhousing protected by a heavy-duty ceramic-on-carbon mechanical seal interface. This creates a definitive barrier against seawater intrusion, completely eliminating the need for periodic gear oil changes.

• Overheat Protection Switch: An integrated thermal sensor monitors the internal temperature of the motor coils and automatically shuts the unit down if it hits unsafe thresholds, protecting the motor from terminal burnout.

• Flexible Angle Installation: The electric motor can be mounted at any angle on the tunnel, and the motor assembly itself can rotate 90 degrees on its bracket, allowing you to maximize space in narrow bow or stern compartments.
