Thruster Installation Considerations and Precautions

EN

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. 

NEVER 

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.

IMPORTANT 

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 

effi  cient troubleshooting if necessary.

Grids or Cowls assembly

EN

1.   Install the cowls or grids before mounting the new tunnel to the thruster. 

(NB: Remember the tunnel can not be removed without being     

     destroyed.)

2.   Drill 4 holes in the mould marking on the tunnel.

3.  Attach the cowls or grids with included bolts and washers. 

(NB: Ensure the appropriate twist of the cowl to direct water away from obstacles)

4.   Attache the compleated tunnels.

For retrofi t

1.   Remove propeller and the old tunnel. 

(NB: the tunnel is not designed to be removed non-destructively. Break off  the snaplocks between the   

     tunnel half ends by pushing a small screwdriver through the holes from the outside.)

2.   Follow the above installation process.

IMPORTANT 

Cowls or Grids must be fi tted to each tunnel half before you assemble the tunnel to the thruster unit.
