Side-Power SXE100 External Stern Thruster 24V

About this product

SXE100 External Stern Thruster 24V — 100kg of thrust, sized by Sleipner for motor boats of 12–17 m (39–56 ft). Fits a 185 mm tunnel, with variable-speed PRO control over S-Link.

What you get, and what to order with it

This is the thruster unit as supplied by Sleipner. You also need a 185 mm tunnel, an S-Link control panel (a PJC211 or PJC212 joystick, or a Sleipner touch panel), an ANL 250 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

• Variable-speed (PRO 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 propellers (twin, counter-rotating) — Sleipner measure up to 75% less noise than a conventional propeller
• Sealed, ignition-protected electrics (ISO 8846) — for petrol boats and wet installations
• Galvanic separation between motor and gear leg to protect against stray-current corrosion
• Overheat protection — the thruster protects itself before the motor can be damaged
• Sealed drive lubrication and ceramic shaft seals — no oil feed to plumb
• Flexible coupling between motor and drive to absorb shock loads
• External mounting — fits outside the hull at the stern, so no tunnel has to be cut

Power and battery

Draws 290A at 21 V nominal. Sleipner specify a battery of at least 493 CCA (EN) and an ANL 250 fuse. Size the cable with our battery bank and cable size calculator, and use the thruster size calculator to confirm SXE100 is the right size for your boat.
