SLEIPNER Side-Power® SXP50 PRO External stern thruster 12V w/controller unit

Description S-LINK™ S-Link™ is a CAN bus-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel. Compact and waterproof connectors Keyed and color-coded connections for correct and easy installation. Cables are available in various lengths, extensions, and T-connectors, making the system flexible and expandable for any type of installation. Q-PROP™ Q-PROP™ has been measured to reduce noise by up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining excellent performance. Some thruster models even show an increase in thrust. Expected noise reduction in average installations: 20–40% Upgrade kits are available for most SLEIPNER Side-Power thruster models with special adapters. INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL SLEIPNER® Side-Power’s patented intelligent power control provides minimal delay between thrust directions, reducing wear on mechanical parts while monitoring solenoid valve functions. In the event of a valve “lock-up,” the thruster automatically stops without any additional user action or main switch control. HOLD-FUNCTION Mooring your vessel has never been easier. With the press of a single button, you can rely on the thrusters to keep the vessel controlled alongside the dock while you step off to secure the lines — transforming mooring into a truly single-person operation. IGNITION PROTECTION Ignition protected products comply with ISO 8846, allowing safe operation in hazardous environments where gasoline vapors or other flammable gases may be present. OVERHEAT PROTECTION When high temperatures are detected, On/Off thrusters automatically shut down to prevent overheating. PRO™ thrusters with speed control provide longer operating times by reducing power to maintain a safe temperature. SAFE START-UP The control unit features dual activation buttons, ensuring safe operation and protection against unintentional activation, thereby creating a child-safe environment. ANALOG SLEIPNER Side-Power’s analog signal cables, with Plug & Play connectors, are color-coded to match wiring diagrams, featuring high-quality connectors that ensure correct installation. GALVANIC SEPARATION Parts submerged and exposed to seawater are galvanically isolated from the vessel’s electrical system, eliminating unwanted current flows. SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION The thruster’s gearleg is pre-filled for lifetime lubrication and sealed with a long-lasting mechanical seal featuring ceramic and carbon fiber surfaces for ultimate protection against water ingress. SINGLE PROPELLER A properly designed single propeller is the most energy-efficient thruster. Its compact design easily fits into narrow bows, making it ideal for SLEIPNER Side-Power’s smallest thruster range.
