SX50 pod thruster with 50-62 kg thrust. Can be mounted in the bow and/or stern, suitable for boats up to 37 feet with a flat or shallow front keel. Its versatile design allows for installation on boats of any hull shape.

The external unit is easy to mount. No GRP work is necessary on boats with a hull thickness of up to 50 mm. The hydropod cover enables mounting under the hull in the water flow for low- and mid-speed vessels.

Remote control is a popular accessory. See some of the important product and safety features below.

Product Description

Properties

Q-PROP™

The Q-PROP™ has measured noise reductions of up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining exceptional efficiency. Some thruster models even see an increase in thrust power.

  • The expected noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
  • Upgrade kits are available for most Sleipner thruster models with special adaptors

INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL

Sleipner’s patented intelligent power control provides a minimal delay between drive directions to reduce wear of the mechanical parts while monitoring solenoid functions. In the case of a solenoid lock-in, the thruster will automatically stop without extra user action or controlling the main switch.

IGNITION PROTECTION

Ignition-protected products are compliant with ISO 8846 to operate safely in hazardous environments where gasoline vapors or other flammable gases might be present.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

When high temperatures are detected, On/off thrusters are automatically shut off to prevent overheating. PRO™ thrusters with speed control provide extended run-time by derating power to maintain temperature within safe levels.

ANALOG

Sleipner analog signal cables with Plug & Play connectors are color-coded to match the wiring diagrams with high-quality connectors to ensure a correct installation.

GALVANIC SEPARATION

Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.

SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION

The thruster gearleg is pre-filled for lifetime lubrication and sealed using a long-time mechanical seal with ceramic and carbon surfaces for ultimate security against water intrusion.

SINGLE PROPELLER

A properly engineered single propeller will be the most energy efficient thruster. Its compact design fits easily into narrow bows making it the perfect match for our smaller thruster range.
