E170/250TC eVision Tunnel Bow/Stern Thruster 24V

The initial phase of Sleipner's eVision project involved the creation of the first electric motor specifically engineered for marine thruster applications.

After extensive effort over several years, we have successfully developed these highly efficient, compact, and lightweight electric motors that compete with the most advanced machines currently utilized in the automotive sector.

By integrating these cutting-edge electric motors with the established Sleipner gearleg design and the Q-Prop™ skew propeller, we achieve a thruster that offers unprecedented performance and runtime in a DC thruster. This innovation culminates in the E-series of thrusters.

S-Link™
S-Link™ is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel.
• Compact and waterproof plugs
• Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
• Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install

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

Pro™
A PRO™ thruster system enables you to apply only the necessary power to complete your maneuver. The variable speed control eliminates the noise associated with standard on/off thrusters.

The system also includes a practical hold-function. In a dual system (bow and stern) a single press of a button will keep you alongside the docks - making docking truly a one-person job.

Speed controlled thrusters are the best choice for joystick interaction.

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.

Flexible Installation
Sleipner offers installation flexibility to work with the space you have. Our thruster models allow installation at any angle on the tunnel, tailored to fit any space available in your vessel.

Splash-Proof
This product is manufactured for installations in environments that may experience moist or occasional splashes.

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.

Flexible Coupling
Flexible coupling protects the product’s driveline by compensating for minor misalignments between the shafts of the thruster motor and gearleg.

Twin Propellers
Twin propellers can provide more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. We use this system in our mid-range models, where high thrust is required in small tunnel diameters. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the thrusters of choice among boatbuilders worldwide.
