SLEIPNER SRV80/185T VERTICAL RETRACTING THRUSTER | 24V ON-OFF | 80KG/176LB | SRV80/185T-24V

SLEIPNER SRV80/185T VERTICAL RETRACTING THRUSTER | 24V ON-OFF | 80KG/176LB | SRV80/185T-24V

Take the stress out of tight dockings without compromising your hull's hydrodynamic efficiency. The Sleipner Side-Power SRV80 (SRV80/185T-24V) is a heavy-duty, vertically retracting 24V on-off thruster engineered for performance sailboats, shallow-draft motor yachts, and vessels between 35 and 48 feet. Delivering a dependable 80 kg (176 lbs) of lateral thrust, this unit deploys straight down to pivot your bow or stern, then pulls completely flush into the hull when underway for zero cruising drag.

This model features a flange-mounted configuration where the core thruster and motor assembly are securely enclosed in a bolt-down casing. It is an exceptional solution for series boat production or direct replacement applications.

(Note: This SKU contains the vertical mechanical thruster unit, actuator, and 24V motor assembly; it does not include the installation outer frame or mold-in flange base).

Key Features:

• Vertical Retraction Mechanism: Drops straight down to maximize deep-water leverage when maneuvering, and retracts straight up flush with the hull to preserve your boat's raw speed and fuel efficiency.

• 80 kg (176 lbs) of Pushing Power: Provides robust, reliable docking assistance to easily pivot your vessel against stubborn crosscurrents or tight marina slips.

• High-Efficiency 24V Architecture: Runs cooler, draws fewer amps, and allows for smaller, lighter cable routing compared to traditional 12V models—making it ideal for modern 24V yacht electrical grids.

• Deep Waterline Leverage: Because a retractable thruster deploys deeper under the waterline than a traditional fixed tunnel thruster, it avoids drawing in surface air (cavitation), resulting in greater efficiency and whisper-quiet operation.

• Twin Q-Prop™ Counter-Rotating Propellers: Outfitted with aerodynamically skewed composite twin propellers that maximize thrust output while reducing cabin noise and vibration by up to 75%.

• Intelligent Power Control (IPC): Sleipner’s patented smart monitoring firmware protects your solenoids and mechanical gears by preventing damaging, instantaneous direction changes.

Specifications:
