Installation Considerations and Precautions

EN

• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiﬀ ener/ stringer/ support for the hull integrity without checking with the boat builder

this can be done safely.

• Contacts/ plugs or other joints in the control cables must be mounted so they will remain dry at all times.

• We advise painting the thruster with primer and antifouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealings or propeller shafts)

• Do not  nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gelcoat/ 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.

• keep installation within advised measurements. The entire surface is hard coated seawater resistant aluminium. Do not damage/penetrate the coat.

• The external stern 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 stern thruster assembly does not disturb the water ﬂ ow 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 sterndrives/ trimtabs do not interfere with the water ﬂ ow from the thruster as this can reduce the thrust eﬀ ectiveness considerably.

We recommend the use of our Side-Power cowls to enhance the performance and allow installation in shallow draft boats. Side-Power cowls will also

minimise the eﬀ ect if sterndrives/ trimtabs obstruct the thruster.

• Ensure there is enough space both inside and outside the transom of the boat and the thruster does not get in conﬂ ict with existing equipment

inside the boat like steerage links etc. (NB: It is possible to mount the tunnel oﬀ set 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.

It is the installers responsibility

EN

For best performance, the thruster must be installed as deep on the stern as possible and the thrusters water ﬂ ow must not obstruct any objects.

The thruster should be installed as deep under the waterline as possible for two reasons:

1. So it does not suck air from the surface which will reduce performance and increase noise levels.

2. To receive maximum eﬃ ciency and thrust.

The thruster must be installed to ensure the propulsion water ﬂ ow must not be obstructed by other objects. Objects that obstruct the water ﬂ ow will

greatly reduce the thrust output.

Position

The thruster can be installed in multiple locations on the boat transom. Installing the thruster slightly oﬀ centre will not aﬀ ect the overall eﬀ ectiveness of the thruster. Installing the thruster oﬀ centre may be required to avoid any obstructions externally or internally on the vessel.

Positioning the stern truster



MG_0109

MC_0072

Ensure that the external stern thruster assembly does not disturb the water ﬂ ow under the hull. At higher speeds, if the thruster is installed to low can cause damage to the thruster, additional drag and unwanted water splashing.

Alignment

The thruster can be installed at a slight angle if required for the water ﬂ ow to avoid obstructions. These obstructions can include propellers systems, trim tabs or the hull. The average force the thruster propels water is 5-7 meters per sec, therefore angled installations must be as deep as possible under the

water to minimise spray breaking beyond the water surface. (NB: install the truster at an angle only if no other suitable location can be found.)

Before installation, it is important that the installer reads this guide to ensure necessary acquaintance with this product.

• The electromotor must be handled with care. Do not lift it by internal connections/ main terminals or placed down on the driveshaft.

• With the boat on land, run the thruster for short bursts.

• While the thruster is in the air, ensure that the propellers have come to a complete stop before performing a directional change of the thruster, as it

might cause damage to the thruster.

• It is important to follow the guidelines in this manual. Failure can result in sever damage to the thruster.

DC Ignition Protected Thrusters:

• If there is a problem with your Ignition Protected stern thruster, please contact your dealer.

Disassemble any part of the Ignition Protected stern thruster assembly. Tampering with the Ignition Protected stern thruster assembly or any attempt to

disassemble anything on this thruster assembly inside the boat can cause an explosion with severe consequences.

If installing S-link products DO NOT connect any other control equipment to the S-link controlled products except Side-Power original

S-link products or via a Side-Power supplied interface product made for interfacing with other controls. Any attempt to directly control or

at all connect into the S-link control system without the designated and approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities

for the complete line of Side-Power products connected void and null. If you are interfacing by agreement with Sleipner and through a designated Side-Power supplied interface, you are still required to also install at least one original Side-Power control panel to enable

1. Explanation of electrical table.

- All power cable lengths are the total of + and - (to and from).

- Battery size is stated as minimum cold crank capacity, not Ah.

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

* Cable size and main battery size when an extra bow battery with minimum the CCA mentioned as A is installed.

2. Use appropriate sized cables and batteries with a high cranking capacity to feed the thruster. The actual voltage at the motor while running the

thruster decides the motors output RPM and thrust. You can use larger cables for better results.

- Advised minimum cables and batteries sizes. See next page.

3. Connect the battery supply to the thruster or control unit (PPC) for proportional control units.

- Install a main manual/ automatic switch that can take the load without noticeable voltage drop from the positive lead terminal on the battery

to the thruster (or 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 onboard 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.

• Many control panels can be installed using optional Y-connectors or T-connectors if installing an S-link proportional power system. (NB: If two or

more control panels are operated at the same time in opposite directions, the electronic control box will stop the thruster until it receives a single signal or thrust in one direction.)

• When using original Sidepower equipment it is entirely “plug & go” and no additional con guration setup is required.

• All controls must have spring load for automatic return to neutral position.

(NB: If the drive direction of the thruster is running opposite to the control panel, swap the blue and grey wire on the control wire or control box solenoid.

Find a comfortable location for the control panel where it does not obstruct or is obstructed by other controls. Install the control panel where it is easy to use. (NB: As a guide the side thruster if often operated together with the gear/throttle control. For the optimal user-friendly solution install

the control panel where access to both controls are accessible with one hand for each control.)

1. Use the enclosed cut-out template to mark the area to remove on your control dash.

2. Cut out the area per template for the control panel. (NB: If the front surface around your cut out is jagged or chipped, use a sealant

to assist the gasket.)

3. Place the gasket to the back face of the panel

4. Plug cables into the connectors at the rear of the control panel. (NB: Twist the locking ring on the connector clockwise to secure connector.)

5. Insert the control panel in place and fasten screws.

6. insert the control panels covering caps.
