Responsibility of the Installer

The installer must read this document to ensure necessary familiarity with the product before installation.

Instructions in this document cannot be guaranteed to comply with all international and national regulations. It is the responsibility of the

installer to follow all applicable international and national regulations when installing Sleipner products.

The recommendations given in this document are guidelines ONLY, and Sleipner strongly recommends that advice is obtained from a person

familiar with the particular vessel and applicable regulations.

This document contains general installation instructions intended to support experienced installers. If you are not skilled in this type of work,

please contact professional installers for assistance.

If required by local regulation, electrical work must be done by a licensed professional.

Appropriate health and safety procedures must be followed during installation.

Faulty installation of Sleipner products will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor AS.

General Installation Considerations and Precautions for Thrusters

• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking with the boat builder this can be done safely.

• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber ﬁ ttings or propeller shafts)

• Do not  nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-

fouling between the tunnel and the props.

• Never run the thruster out of water.

• The electro/ hydrulic motor must be handled with care. Do not place down the motor on the drive shaft.

MC_0038

MC_0425

General Installation Considerations and Precautions for Electric Thrusters

• The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment. (NB: Ignition Protected systems are tested to be installed in areas with possible explosive gases in accordance with ISO 8846)

• When installing the thruster electro motor in small compartments, ensure the compartment is well ventilated to allow for cooling of the electro motor.

• If the height of the room you are installing the thruster is limited, the thruster can be installed horizontally or at any angle in-between.

- If the electro motor is positioned more than 30 degrees off vertical, it must be supported separately.

- Beware of keeping installation within advised measurements. No part of the propeller or gear house must be outside the tunnel.

• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking with the boat builder this can be done safely.

• The electro motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.

• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber ﬁ ttings or propeller shafts)

• Do not  nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-

fouling between the tunnel and the props.

• Don’t install the electro motor close to easily flammable objects or equipment as it will reach over 100°C before the temperature switch is activated.

• Do not store items close to the thruster motor. Any loose items near the thruster motor is a potential  re hazard and can cause undesired short-

circuiting.

• Do not lift it by internal cable connections, main terminals.

• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.

MC_0031

General Installation Considerations and Precautions for DC Electric Motors

• The electro motor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartments must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items becoming dusty/ dirty. (NB: IP version motors generate dust but are enclosed.)

Failure to follow the considerations and precautions can cause serious injury,

damage and will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor as VOID.

• The external thruster assembly and controller unit are ignition protected and can be installed in areas with the chance of explosive gases in

accordance to ISO 8846 and ABYC c1500. (Certi cation pending)

• Ensure that the external thruster assembly does not disturb the water flow under the hull. At higher speeds, if the thruster is installed to low it can cause damage to the thruster and/ or add additional drag and unwanted water splashing.

• The recommended minimum tunnel depth from the water surface is 140mm (5,51‘) to the centre of tunnel diameter. Place the Thruster as deep as

possible for better performance and reduced noise.

• When installing the thruster ensure it does not foul existing equipment inside the boat like motor bedding etc.

• If able ensure that stern-drives/ trim-tabs do not interfere with the water flow from the thruster as this can reduce the thrust effectiveness considerably. We recommend the use of our Sleipner cowls to enhance the performance and allow installation in shallow draft boats. Sleipner cowls will also minimise the effect if stern-drives/ trim-tabs obstruct the thruster.

• Ensure there is enough space both inside and outside the transom of the boat and the thruster does not get in conflict with existing equipment inside the boat like steerage links etc. (NB: It is possible to mount the tunnel offset from the boat’s centre line if necessary.)

• Heat protection cut off is calculated from the thruster motor. To avoid cable overheating do not install place the volt cables from the thruster to the control box near any heat sources.

Thruster Electrical Installation

! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !

1. Information of electrical table.

- All power cable lengths represent the total length of the combined (+) and (-) cables.

- Battery capacity is stated as minimum cold crank capacity, (CCA).

- Use slow blow rated fuses to hold stated Amp-Draw for min. 5 minutes.

- Consider the AMP hours (Ah) for your speci c duty cycle.

2. Use appropriate sized cables and batteries with high cranking capacity to feed the thruster. The actual voltage at the motor while running the thruster decides the motors output RPM and thrust. Use larger cables and stronger batteries for better results.

- See electrical speci cations for advised minimum cables and batteries (CCA).

3. Connect the battery supply to the control unit (PPC).

- Install a main manual/ automatic switch from the positive lead terminal on the battery PPC unit). The main switch must be accessible to turn

off the thruster independently from the rest of the electrical operation of the vessel when not on-board or in emergencies. (NB: It is advised

to install a fuse on the positive cable for protection against short-circuiting of the main cables. The fuse should ensure no voltage decrease, slow-blow and sized to take the amperage draw for at least 5 minutes.)

- A circuit breaker can be used instead of the fuse and main power switch If the functionality is the same.

(NB: For Ignition Protected installations remember to use ignition protected fuses and switches if ﬁ tted in areas that require this feature. Ensure to follow your national regulations)

5. Cable lugs must have adequate electrical and mechanical isolation and  tted with cable lug covers.

6. Fasten cables to the required torque.

After all electrical connections have been completed check with an ohm meter that there is no electrical connection between

see next page

Warranty statement

1. Sleipner Motor AS (The “Warrantor”) warrants that the equipment (parts, materials and embedded software of products) manufactured by the

Warrantor is free from defects in workmanship and materials for the purpose for which the equipment is intended and under normal use and

service (the “Warranty”).

2. This Warranty is in effect for two years (Leisure Use) or one year (Commercial and other Non-leisure Use) from the date of purchase by the end

user (for demonstration vessels, the dealer is deemed as end user).

3. This Warranty is transferable and covers the equipment for the specied warranty period.

4. The warranty does not apply to defects or damages caused by faulty installation or hook-up, abuse or misuse of the equipment including exposure

to excessive heat, salt or fresh water spray, or water immersion except for equipment specically designed as waterproof.

5. In case the equipment seems to be defective, the warranty holder (the “Claimant”) must do the following to make a claim:

(a) Contact the dealer or service centre where the equipment was purchased and make the claim. Alternatively, the Claimant can make the

claim to a dealer or service centre found at www.sleipnergroup.com. The Claimant must present a detailed written statement of the nature

and circumstances of the defect, to the best of the Claimant’s knowledge, including product identi cation and serial nbr., the date and place of

purchase and the name and address of the installer. Proof of purchase date should be included with the claim, to verify that the warranty period has not expired;

(b) Make the equipment available for troubleshooting and repair, with direct and workable access, including dismantling of furnishings or similar,

if any, either at the premises of the Warrantor or an authorised service representative approved by the Warrantor. Equipment can only be returned to the Warrantor or an authorised service representative for repair following a pre-approval by the Warrantor’s Help Desk and if so, with the Return Authorisation Number visible postage/shipping prepaid and at the expense of the Claimant.

6. Examination and handling of the warranty claim:

(a) If upon the Warrantor’s or authorised service Representative’s examination, the defect is determined to result from defective material or

workmanship in the warranty period, the equipment will be repaired or replaced at the Warrantor’s option without charge, and returned to the Purchaser at the Warrantor’s expense. If, on the other hand, the claim is determined to result from circumstances such as described in section 4

above or a result of wear and tear exceeding that for which the equipment is intended (e.g. commercial use of equipment intended for leisure use),

the costs for the troubleshooting and repair shall be borne by the Claimant;

(b) No refund of the purchase price will be granted to the Claimant, unless the Warrantor is unable to remedy the defect after having a reasonable

number of opportunities to do so. In the event that attempts to remedy the defect have failed, the Claimant may claim a refund of the purchase price, provided that the Claimant submits a statement in writing from a professional boating equipment supplier that the installation instructions of the Installation and Operation Manual have been complied with and that the defect remains.

7. Warranty service shall be performed only by the Warrantor, or an authorised service representative, and any attempt to remedy the defect by

anyone else shall render this warranty void.

8. No other warranty is given beyond those described above, implied or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, tness for a

particular purpose other than the purpose for which the equipment is intended, and any other obligations on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives.

9. There shall be no responsibility or liability whatsoever on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives based on this Warranty

for injury to any person or persons, or damage to property, loss of income or prot, or any other incidental, consequential or resulting damage

or cost claimed to have been incurred through the use or sale of the equipment, including any possible failure or malfunction of the equipment or damages arising from collision with other vessels or objects.

10. This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
