Side-Power E300 eVision tunnel bow/stern thruster 48V

About this product

E300 eVision tunnel bow/stern thruster 48V — 300kg of thrust, sized by Sleipner for motor boats, sail boats and commercial vessels of 18–29 m (59–95 ft). A brushless eVision tunnel thruster with variable-speed control over S-Link and continuous run time at full thrust. Fits a 300 mm tunnel and can be installed in the bow or stern.

What you get, and what to order with it

This is the thruster unit as supplied by Sleipner. To complete a new installation you also need a 300 mm tunnel (GRP, aluminium or steel to suit the hull), an S-Link control panel (a PJC211 or PJC212 joystick, or a Sleipner touch panel), an ANL 325 fuse and holder, and battery cable sized to the run. The matching items are listed under “You may also need” below, and we will check the whole kit against your boat before it ships.

Features

• Brushless eVision motor with continuous run time at full thrust (at 22 °C ambient, typically limited only by battery capacity)
• Variable-speed (proportional) control — apply only the thrust the manoeuvre needs, quietly and precisely
• S-Link™ CAN-based control with plug-and-play signal cables — works with Sleipner panels, remotes and joystick systems
• Hold function — keeps a set level of thrust applied, useful when holding the boat against a pontoon
• Q-Prop™ five-blade skewed propeller — Sleipner measure up to 75% less noise than a conventional propeller
• Sealed electrics — IPx7, ignition protected to ISO 8846, for petrol boats and wet installations
• Intelligent Power Control — soft start and minimal delay on direction change to reduce wear, with automatic protection
• Galvanic separation between motor and gear leg to protect against stray-current corrosion
• Thermal protection — the thruster protects itself before the motor can be damaged
• Sealed drive lubrication — no oil feed to plumb
• Safe start-up — the control panel must be deliberately activated before the thruster will run
• Flexible installation — mounts at any angle on the tunnel

Power and battery

Draws 360A at 42 V nominal. Sleipner specify a battery of at least 612 CCA (EN) and an ANL 325 fuse. As a 48 V model it needs a 48 V supply at the thruster — usually a dedicated bank close to the unit, which we can specify with you. Size the cable with our battery bank and cable size calculator, and use the thruster size calculator to confirm E300 is the right size for your boat.
