SLEIPNER SEP40/125S-1IP PROPORTIONAL TUNNEL THRUSTER | 12V | 40KG/88LB | IGNITION PROTECTED
Unlock smooth, throttle-exact docking precision in a compact, fully sealed, ignition-protected package designed for standard 12V vessels. The Sleipner Side-Power SEP40/125S-1IP is a high-performance 12V proportional tunnel thruster engineered for boats from 26 to 34 feet. Delivering a dependable 40 kg (88 lbs) of lateral thrust through a narrow 125mm (5-inch) tunnel, this unit features factory-standard S-Link™ Proportional Control. Instead of sudden full-blast "on/off" bursts, it allows you to gently feed in power via a throttle joystick for whisper-quiet, pinpoint control over your bow or stern.
The IP (Ignition Protected) rating means the 3 Hp electric motor and internal relays are hermetically sealed inside a specialized composite housing. This layout safely isolates all electrical parts from fuel vapors or harsh bilge environments, making it legally compliant and completely safe for installation in gasoline engine compartments, fuel tank lockers, or highly damp bilge spaces.
Key Features:
-
True Proportional Power (S-Link™): Offers exact, metered variable speed control. Apply a gentle, quiet 10% nudge to smoothly hold position at the slip, or throttle up to 100% power to confidently fight crosswinds and tearing currents.
-
Ignition Protected (IP) Certified: Hermetically sealed to prevent fuel vapor ignition (ISO 8846 & UL 1500 compliant). It is fully safe for gasoline-powered motorboats and provides an airtight shield against corrosive bilge moisture.
-
Compact 125mm (5'') Tunnel Diameter: Specifically engineered for smaller boats or vessels with narrow bow profiles where larger thruster tunnels physically will not fit.
-
Maintenance-Free Sealed Gearleg: Features a factory-sealed gearleg pre-filled with specialized lifetime gear oil. Mechanical ceramic-on-carbon seals ensure zero leaks and absolute water tightness, completely eliminating the need for periodic gear oil changes.
-
5-Blade Q-Prop™ Skew Propeller: Outfitted with an aerodynamically skewed composite single propeller that maximizes water flow velocity while reducing cabin cavitation noise and hull vibration by up to 75%.
-
Intelligent Power Control (IPC): Sleipner’s patented smart monitoring firmware protects the internal relays, preventing instant directional shifts and automatically cutting power if an electrical fault or overheating occurs.
-
Intelligent "Hold" Function: When paired with a proportional control panel, you can press the "Hold" button to lock in a specific thrust percentage—letting the thruster safely hold the boat against the dock single-handedly while you step off to secure mooring lines.
