Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation

!

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

!

EN

1.     Mark the tunnel centreline and the boat’s centreline. 

(NB: Install the gear leg and propeller as shown above for the thrust direction to correspond 

with the control panel. Position gear leg with the P-mark facing port and the S-mark facing starboard.)

2.     Use the gasket or template (recommended) to mark the hole centres and double-check the measurements. The centre hole MUST be placed 

using the boat centreline as shown above. 

(NB: All holes must be in-line with the tunnels’ centreline for correct installation, clearance between 

the propeller and the tunnel is minimal.)    

3.     Smooth the surface of the tunnel. A rough surface will cause possible failure/movement of the gear leg. The motor bracket must rest steadily on 

the tunnel.

4.     Drill the main centre hole followed by the two screw-holes.

5.     Place the gear leg (without the propeller) with the gasket on inside the tunnel. Place the propeller on the gear leg to ensure it is centred and 

rotates freely with the same clearance from each blade to the tunnel wall. Place top motor bracket to measure the drive shaft has come through 

the motor bracket at the correct height. Remove the gear leg and propeller for fi nal installation.

6.      Apply appropriate sealant to both sides of the gasket and place on the gear leg. Place the gear leg in the tunnel (without the propeller). 

7.     Install the top motor bracket and gear leg gently together. Use appropriate sealant to ensure that no leakages occur. 

(NB: See your sealant data 

sheet for the correct application process.)

8.     Fasten the gear leg and the motor bracket with the bolts provided. Fasten to torque as shown above.

It is the installers responsibility 

When installing Sleipner equipment follow the outlined regulations/ classifi cation rules (electrical/ mechanical) according to 

international or special national regulations. Instructions in this guide cannot be guaranteed to comply with global electric/ 

mechanic regulations/ classifi cation rules.

Follow all health and safety laws in accordance with their local outlined regulations/ classifi cation rules. 

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

The recommendations made in this manual are guidelines ONLY, and Sleipner Motor AS (Sleipner) strongly recommend that before 

installation, advice is obtained from a naval architect familiar with the particular vessel and regulations/ classifi cations.

    This manual is intended to support educated/ experienced staff and is therefore not suffi cient in all details for professional 

installation. 

(NB: These instructions are only general instruction. If you are not skilled to do this work, please contact professional 

installers for assistance.)

    All electrical work must be done by a licensed professional. 

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

IMPORTANT 

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

products or via a Sleipner 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 Sleipner products connected void and null. If you are interfacing by agreement with Sleipner and through a designated SLeipner 

supplied interface, you are still required to also install at least one original Sleipner control panel to enable effi cient troubleshooting if 

necessary.
