SRP 300
Positioning of the Retract thruster
EN
MC_0067
The thruster must always be installed so the hatch is opened towards the direction of travel.
Bow
The thruster must be installed as far forward as possible. Allow for 10cm around the thruster for moulding the retract frame and the depth of the
retracted propeller is 185mm (SR 80/100), 250mm (SR 130/210) or 300mm (SR 250/300) under the waterline. For bow installations, the thruster
must be installed in the centre line of the keel.
(NB: Installing the thruster further forward will give less depth for the propeller but offer better
leverage effect for turning.)
Stern
Follow the same depth requirement for the retracted propeller of 185mm (SR 80/ 100), 250mm (SR 130/ 210) or 300mm (SR 250/ 300) under the
waterline. The thruster while retracted must not conflict with any other component of the vessel such as stern drives/ propellers, trim tabs or rudders.
Therefore stern installations do not require to be installed on the hulls keel centre line and can be installed off centre.
Installing the thruster below the waterline as outlined is important for two reasons:
1. So that it does not suck air down from the surface which will reduce performance and increase noise levels.
2. To get as much water pressure as possible to receive maximum effi ciency from the thruster.
Always ensure enough space for the complete SR unit including motor, actuators, retract frame, future service and for installation moulding to the hull.

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 electro motor must be handled with care. Do not lift it by internal cable connections, main terminals or placed down on the drive shaft.
• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.
• Never run the thruster out of water.
• It is important to follow the guidelines in this manual. Failure can result in severe damage to the thruster.
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.

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