General Installation Considerations and Precautions Guidelines

For thruster systems

• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardize the hull integrity without checking with the boat builder this can be done safely.
• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi things or propeller shafts)
• There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-fouling between the tunnel and the props.
• Never run the thruster out of water.

For electric motor thrusters

• The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition-proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment.
  (NB: Ignition Protected systems are tested to be installed in areas with possible explosive gases in accordance with ISO 8846)

• When installing the thruster electric motor in small compartments, ensure the compartment is well-ventilated to allow for cooling of the electromotor.

• If the height of the room you are installing the thruster is limited, the thruster can be installed horizontally or at any angle in between.
  – If the electromotor is positioned more than 30 degrees off vertical, it must be supported separately.
  – Beware of keeping installation within advised measurements. No part of the propeller or gear house must be outside the tunnel.

• The electric motor, components, and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.

• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi things or propeller shafts)

• Do not fi nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-fouling between the tunnel and the props.

• Don’t install the electric motor close to easily flammable objects or equipment as it will reach over 100°C before the temperature switch is activated.

• Do not store items close to the thruster motor. Any loose items near the thruster motor are a potential fi re-hazard and can cause undesired short-circuiting.

• Do not lift it by internal cable connections, or main terminals.

• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.

• The electric/ hydraulic motor must be handled with care. Do not place down the thruster on the motor drive shaft or gear leg if attached.

For DC electric motors

• The electromotor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartments must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items from becoming dusty/ dirty. (NB: IP  version motors generate dust but are enclosed.)

Positioning of the tunnel/thruster

Aim to install the thruster as far forward as possible (1)
Due to the leverage effect around the boats’ pivot point. The distance difference from the boat pivots’ point to the thruster will determine the amount of real rotation power for the boat.

Aim to install the thruster as deep as possible under the waterline (2)
Deeper installations prevent air from being sucked into the tunnel from the surface, resulting in reduced thrust performance and increase noise levels during operation. Deeper installations increase water pressure for maximum effi ciency from the thruster.

The center of the tunnel should be a minimum of 1 x the tunnel diameter below the waterline. The installer must make evaluations based on thruster performance, boat type, and operating conditions. As a general recommendation, the position of the tunnel should not be a minimum of 1/4 of the diameter of the tunnel from the boat keel. (NB:  This can be overlooked depending on the installation methods defi ned in this manual.)

Tunnel Length

Optimal tunnel length
Achieving the correct tunnel length depends on many factors from the hull type, to operation, and environmental conditions.
Tunnels should avoid being longer than 4 x the tunnel diameter as this will reduce thruster performance. (NB: Installing long-length tunnels can flex/ bend over time and may require additional support. Consult with a naval architect.)

1. Do not allow the variable length of the tunnel walls to vary in length excessively.
   EG. The top tunnel wall is x 4 longer than the bottom wall.

2. If the tunnel is too long, the friction inside will reduce the water speed and thereby the thrust.

3. If the tunnel is too short (typically only in the bottom section of the tunnel) cavitation problems can occur as water flow will not be able to “straighten” itself before reaching the propeller. This cavitation will reduce performance and increase noise during operation.
   Thruster within the tunnel
   It is important the propellers and the lower unit/ gear leg must be entirely inside the thruster tunnel. Propellers that protrude from the tunnel will not perform as intended.

4. Standard Use
   The tunnel length must be long enough to ensure the propellers are not extruding the tunnel.

5. Flat Bottom Hull
   Tunnel lengths must be longer than the standard measurement outlined within the manual to ensure a circular vacuum is not created between the thruster and the bottom of the boat.

6. High-Speed Boats
   Tunnel lengths must be increased to protect the propeller from damage when crashing against the water surface during high-speed cruising. (NB: This can include the length of a spoiler)

Tunnel installation in Sailboats

Some sailboats have a flat bottom and shallow draft in the bow section. This can make installing the thruster as far forward from the boat’s main pivot point diffi cult. (Fig. 1).
However, it is possible to install a tunnel thruster in most sailboats, even when the hull does not directly support the fitting of a tunnel.
Instead fi t the tunnel halfway into the underneath section of the existing hull. Strengthen it with a deflector/ spoiler directing the water flow around the tunnel. This will allow the installation of the thruster in the proper position on the boat, maintaining the reliability and space advantages of the tunnel thruster.
This installation is being used by some of the world’s largest sailboat builders and has proven to give little to no speed loss during normal cruising.
This can also be an installation method for flat-bottomed barges to avoid extremely long tunnels and large oval tunnel openings in the hull.

Water Deflection

1. A possible problem in sailboats or fast powerboats is that a non-rounded surface can generate drag from the back face of the tunnel, as it creates a “flat” area facing the flow of water.
   This problem can be solved in two different ways, depending on what is possible or easier to perform.

2. The best solution which generally reduces the most drag is to make a recess in the hull at the back of the tunnel. As the back face is removed water can flow freely past the tunnel entry. The depth and shape of this recess will depend on the boat and the angle facing up/ down aft of the tunnel insert. Normally it is angled slightly down because of the water flow in this area.

3. Making a deflector/ spoiler in front and underneath the tunnel can also reduce damage to the thruster and drag. The deflector/ spoiler will push the water flow out from the hull so water can pass by the back face of the tunnel. The shape and size of this deflector/ spoiler will depend on the hull shape. The easiest way of making the deflector/  spoiler is to retain a part of the lower forward area of the tunnel while installing the tube. Use this area as support to mold a soft curve/spoiler shape from the hull.

4. The thruster propeller can spin (passively) producing noise while sailing or cruising as water is forced through the tunnel. Water flow directed through the tunnel at high speeds, during turning, or as the boat bumps waves while underway can also damage the thruster.

(NB: As a rule, you should not see the back face of the tunnel when standing directly in front of the boat looking aft.)

To protect the propeller from water entering the tunnel at high speeds (25 knots +) the extended deflector/ spoiler must provide protection from the front and the bottom.  In the event that the boat is traveling at high speeds, it will commonly pound upon the water’s surface.

Tunnel Ends

Rounded tunnel ends will maximize thrust and minimize noise and cavitation.

For best performance round the tunnel connection to the hull side as much as possible. The minimum rounding has a radius of 10% of the diameter of the tunnel.

Signifi cant advantages of a rounded tunnel over a sharp tunnel to hull connections are:

1. A rounded tunnel end will prevent the creation of turbulence/ cavitation created from a sharp tunnel end when water passes by the tunnel.
   – The turbulence/ cavitation will block the outer area of the tunnel and thereby reduces the effective tunnel diameter and thrust.
   – Turbulence/ cavitation on the propeller will lessen the performance of the thruster and create excess noise.

2. For steel/aluminum hulls angled tunnel ends also offer similar performance as a rounded connection.

3. A rounded tunnel end makes the thruster draw water from along the hull side, creating a vacuum that will suck the boat sideways and thereby give additional thrust.
   – With a sharp tunnel end, the thruster will be unable to take water from along the hull side, and you will not gain the desired vacuum and additional thrust. This “free” extra thrust in optimal installations is 30 – 40% of the total thrust.

(NB: A Side-power thruster propeller does not produce cavitation at working speed. Therefore, any cavitation and cavitation noise in the tunnel will be caused  during improper tunnel installation.)

Tunnel Installation

IMPORTANT
We recommend that a professional does the fi fiberglass, steel, or aluminum fitting of the tunnel. These instructions are only general instructions and do not explain in any way the details of fi fiberglass work. Problems caused by faulty installation of the tunnel, are the installer’s full responsibility.

1. Find the position in the boat considering the information earlier in this manual and the applicable measurements for the thruster model you are installing. Mark the center of the tunnel on both sides of the hull. Drill a hole horizontally at these marks.
2. Mark the circle for the tunnel opening (outside diameter of the tunnel) and cut the hole.
3. Grind off the gel coat to the “real fi fiberglass” area 12cm around the hole on both inside and outside the hull to cast the tunnel to the hull (Fig. 3).
4. Insert the tunnel and mark its shape to fi t the hull. (NB: if you are installing with a deflector/ spoiler, leave a part of the tunnel in the front and underside of the tunnel that  will cover the back face.)
5. Cut the tunnel ends to the desired shape and lightly sand their surface. Clean the area with acetone or similar where you are going to apply fiberglass. (NB: Do not cast or add fiberglass to the area where the thruster will be placed.)
6. Cast the tunnel to the inside of the hull, use at least eight layers of 300g fi fiberglass and resin, preferably alternating mat and rowing types of fi fiberglass. To round the tunnel ends to a 10% radius make further layers inside to preserve the desired hull thickness.

(NB: Ensure gaps between the tunnel and the hull are completely fi filled with resin/ fiberglass. In areas where you can not access to make layers of resin/ fi  fiberglass, a resin/ fiberglass mixture must be used in that area.)

With tunnel installed and cast.

1. Round the edges with a radius of 10% of the tunnel diameter.

2. For steel/aluminum hulls make a slope with a length of 10-15% of the tunnel diameter.
   (NB: If this is not possible, round the tunnel end as much as possible.)

3. Additionally cast two layers on the outside of the tunnel/ hull in a 10cm area

4. Follow the same method if making the deflector/ spoiler.

You must apply a gel coat to areas you have grounded/molded to make it waterproof. These areas allow water access to the hull which is typically not waterproof without these applications outside. (NB: All original Side-Power tunnels are fully waterproof when delivered except in the areas where you have cut and bonded it to the hull.)

IMPORTANT
Avoid all casting where the motor bracket is to be placed, as this will cause misfi t and possible failure to the gear house.

Stern Tunnel Installation

For Stern Thruster installation please refer to the supplied manual in your Sleipner product delivery

Gear Leg & Motor Bracket Installation

! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model!

1. Mark the tunnel centreline and the boat’s centreline. (NB: Install the gear leg and propeller as shown above for the thrust direction to correspond with the control panel.  Position gear leg with the P-mark facing port and the S-mark facing starboard.)
2. Use the gasket or template (recommended) to mark the hole centers and double-check the measurements. The center hole MUST be placed using the boat centreline as shown above. (NB: All holes must be in-line with the tunnel’s centreline for correct installation, clearance between the propeller and the tunnel is minimal.)
3. Smooth the surface of the tunnel. A rough surface will cause possible failure/movement of the gear leg. The motor bracket must rest steadily on the tunnel.
4. Drill the main center hole followed by the two screw holes.
5. Place the gear leg (without the propeller) with the gasket inside the tunnel. Place the propeller on the gear leg to ensure it is centered and rotates freely with the same clearance from each blade to the tunnel wall. Place the top motor bracket to measure the drive shaft that has come through the motor bracket at the correct height. Remove the gear leg and propeller for fi nal installation.
6. Apply appropriate sealant to both sides of the gasket and place on the gear leg. Place the gear leg in the tunnel (without the propeller).
7. Install the top motor bracket and gear leg gently together.
8. Fasten the gear leg and the motor bracket with the bolts provided. Fasten to torque as shown above.

Propeller Installation

! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model!

1. Center the drive pin and Insert the propeller onto the shaft spine. Rotate the propeller until the drive pin aligns with the internal slot in the propeller.
2. Insert the washer into the end of the shaft spline. Tighten with the propeller lock-nut.
3. Insert the anode into the end of the propeller and tighten the anode holding screw. Apply thread glue (Loctite 243 or similar) to ensure that the anode holding screw does not unscrew itself during the rotation of the propeller.
4. Apply anti-fouling to the gear leg and propeller. Do not apply anti-fouling to any rubber elements of the gear leg or anodes.

Motor Installation

! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model!

1. Install the motor onto the motor bracket ensuring the couplings are engaged together correctly (top and bottom). (NB: The motor can be placed in all directions on the motor bracket. However, ensure the cable terminals are accessible for electrical installation later.)
2. If you are installing the motor at an angle of more than 30 degrees off vertical, the motor will require separate/ additional support. (NB: Do not position supports on the motor top cap.)
3. Fasten the bolts holding the motor to the motor bracket with the above torque.
4. Check the drive shafts are engaged by rotating the propeller. (NB: Rotating the propellers can be hard due to the gear reduction and the motor, however, the propeller must be  able to rotate via hand power.)

IMPORTANT
The thruster motor assembly must be protected using suitable covering to avoid dust/debris ingress from fabrication/maintenance/shipbuilding operations. On completion of operations, the cover must be removed before operating the thruster.

Electrical Installation

! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !

1. Information on the electrical table. see next page
   – All power cable lengths represent the total length of the combined (+) and (-) cables.
   – Battery capacity is stated as minimum cold crank capacity, (CCA).
   – Use slow blow-rated fuses to hold the stated Amp-Draw for min. 5 minutes.
   – Consider the AMP hours (Ah) for your specifi c duty cycle.

2. Use appropriate-sized cables and batteries with high cranking capacity to feed the thruster. The actual voltage at the motor while running the thruster decides the motor’s output RPM and thrust. Use larger cables and stronger batteries for better results.
   – See electrical specifi cations for advised minimum cables and batteries (CCA).

3. Install the main switch as close to the battery as possible and ensure the main positive lead can take loads without a noticeable voltage drop.
   – Ensure the main switch (battery isolator) can be turned off independently and manually when not on board or in emergencies.
   – Ensure it is easily accessible and update instructions that this should be turned off like the boat’s other main switches.
   It is advised to install a fuse in the positive lead for protection against short-circuiting.
   – Ensure a slow type and appropriately sized to take the amperage draw for at least 5 minutes.
   (NB: For Ignition Protected installations remember to use ignition-protected fuses and switches if fi tted in areas that require this feature.
   Ensure to follow your national regulations)

4. Cable lugs must have adequate electrical and mechanical isolation and fi tted with cable lug covers.

5. Fasten cables to the required torque.

WARNING
Check the following with the main switch is set to off :
After all electrical connections have been completed check with an ohm meter that there is no electrical connection between

1. electro-motor flange and the positive terminal on the motor
2. electro-motor flange and the battery negative terminal on the motor

If unsure contact skilled personnel.

Product Lug Connection Configuration

IMPORTANT
Do NOT use washers between lugs, this causes overheating and fire. Spring washers must be placed in the outer position before tightening the nut.

Warranty Statement

1. Sleipner Motor AS (The “Warrantor”) warrants that the equipment (parts, materials, and embedded software of products) manufactured by the Warrantor is free from defects in workmanship and materials for the purpose for which the equipment is intended and under the normal use and maintenance service (the “Warranty”).

2. This Warranty is in effect for two years (Leisure Use) or one year (Commercial and other Non-leisure Use) from the date of delivery/purchase by the end user, with the  following exceptions;
   (a) For demonstration vessels, or vessels kept on the water, the dealer is considered as the end user from 6 months after their launch of the vessel;
   (b) The warranty period starts no later than 18 months after the first launch of the vessel.
   Please note that the boat manufacturer and dealer must pay particular attention to correct maintenance and service both by the products manuals as well as general good practice for the location the boat is kept in the period the boat is in their care. In cases where the 6 and 18 months grace periods for boat builders and dealers are passed, it is possible to obtain a full warranty upon inspection and approval of the warrantor or such representative.

3. Certain parts, classifi ed as wearable or service parts, are not covered by the warranty. A failure to follow the required maintenance and service work as described in the product manual renders all warranty on parts or components directly or indirectly affected by this void. Please also note that for some parts, time is also a factor separate from actual operational hours.

4. This Warranty is transferable and covers the equipment for the specific warranty period.

5. The warranty does not apply to defects or damages caused by faulty installation or hook-up, abuse or misuse of the equipment including exposure to excessive heat, salt or freshwater spray, or water immersion except for equipment specifically designed as waterproof.

6. In case the equipment seems to be defective, the warranty holder (the “Claimant”) must do the following to make a claim:
   (a) Contact the dealer or service center where the equipment was purchased and make the claim. Alternatively, the Claimant can make the claim to a dealer or service center found at www.sleipnergroup.com. The Claimant must present a detailed written statement of the nature and circumstances of the defect, to the best of the Claimant’s knowledge, including product identity cation and serial number., the date and place of purchase, and the name and address of the installer. Proof of purchase date should be included  with the claim, to verify that the warranty period has not expired;
   (b) Make the equipment available for troubleshooting and repair, with direct and workable access, including dismantling of furnishings or similar, if any, either at the premises of the Warrantor or an authorized service representative approved by the Warrantor. Equipment can only be returned to the Warrantor or an authorized service representative for repair following a pre-approval by the Warrantor’s Help Desk and if so, with the Return Authorisation Number visible postage/shipping prepaid and at the expense of the  Claimant.

7. Examination and handling of the warranty claim:
   (a) If upon the Warrantor’s or authorized service Representative’s examination, the defect is determined to result from defective material or workmanship in the warranty period,  the equipment will be repaired or replaced at the Warrantor’s option without charge, and returned to the Purchaser at the Warrantor’s expense. If, on the other hand, the  claim is determined to result from circumstances such as described in section
   4 above or a result of wear and tear exceeding that for which the equipment is intended (e.g. commercial use of equipment intended for leisure use), the costs for the  troubleshooting and repair shall be borne by the Claimant;
   (b) No refund of the purchase price will be granted to the Claimant unless the Warrantor is unable to remedy the defect after having a reasonable number of opportunities to do so. In the event that attempts to remedy the defect have failed, the Claimant may claim a refund of the purchase price, provided that the Claimant submits a statement in writing from a professional boating equipment supplier that the installation instructions of the Installation and Operation Manual have been complied with and that the defect remains.

8. Warranty service shall be performed only by the Warrantor, or an authorized service representative, and any attempt to remedy the defect by anyone else shall render this warranty void.

9. No other warranty is given beyond those described above, implied or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose other than the purpose for which the equipment is intended, and any other obligations on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives.

10. There shall be no responsibility or liability whatsoever on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives based on this Warranty for injury to any person or persons or damage to property, loss of income or profit, or any other incidental, consequential, or resulting damage or cost claimed to have been incurred through the use or sale of the equipment, including any possible failure or malfunction of the equipment or damages arising from collision with other vessels or objects.

11. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
