Failure to follow the considerations and precautions can cause serious injury, and damage and will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor as VOID.
General Operation Considerations and Precautions Guidelines
For the operation of thrusters
Never use thrusters when close to objects, persons, or animals in the water.
The thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and the rotating propellers.
This will cause serious injuries and damage to the thruster.
Always turn the main power switch off before touching any part of the
thruster. An incidental start while touching moving parts can cause serious
injuries.
It is the owner, captains, or other responsible parties’ full responsibility
to assess the risk of any unexpected incidents on the vessel.
If the thruster stops giving thrust for some reason while maneuvering you must
have considered a plan on how to avoid damage to persons or other objects.
- Always turn the control device off when the thruster is not in use or when leaving the boat.
- When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster.
- Never use thrusters out of water.
- If the thruster stops giving thrust while running, there is possibly a problem in the drive system. You must immediately stop running the thruster and turn it off. Running the thruster for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller can cause serious damage to the thruster.
- If two panels are operated with conflicting directions at the same time the thruster will not run. If both are operated in the same direction, the thruster will run in this direction.
- If you notice any faults with the thruster switch it off to avoid further damage.
- The primary purpose of the thruster is to maneuver or dock the vessel. Forward or reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when operated.
For the operation of hydraulic motor thrusters
- If the performance of the thruster is reduced check the hydraulic system or check the tunnel for marine growth.
User Operation
! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your
model!
The following is an operation guide to ALL Sleipner control products. Ensure
to familiarise yourself with the functionality and operation of your specific
control device.
Take time to practice operation in open water to become familiar with the thruster and to avoid damage to your boat or people.
General operation
- Turn on the main power switch for the bow thruster. (NB: Always turn off the main power switch when not on board.)
- Turn on the control panel by pushing the/ both “ON” button(s) on the original Sleipner panel simultaneously.
*Turn off the control panel by pushing the “OFF” button - To Turn the bow/ stern in the desired direction:
Button control panels
For button control, push the button in the corresponding direction you wish
the bow/ stern to move.
Joystick control panels
For joystick control, move the joystick in the direction you wish the bow/
stern to move.
(NB: If equipped for proportional control move the joystick equivalent to the amount of thrust you intend to receive.)
- For other controls like foot switches or toggle switches please refer to that product’s user manual for detailed operational use.
Hold functionality
If equipped with ‘hold’ functionality push the button in the corresponding
direction you wish the thrusters to engage a holding pattern:
Operating a combined bow and stern thruster
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total maneuverability to
move the bow and the stern separately from each other or in unison. This
enables the boat to move sideways in both directions or turn the boat around a
360º axis while staying stationary.
Remote controls
Ensure the remote control is held in the same direction as the boat during operation.
Drift
Depending on the sideways speed of the bow/ stern, you must disengage the
control device shortly before the vessel is in the desired position.
(NB: Be aware the boat will continue to move after disengaging the thruster
control.)
At any signifi cant cruising speed (+1-2 kn) the side thruster will have little effect to steer the vessel.

Maintenance
! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model!
As a part of the seasonal service of your Thruster before every season, always check that:
In Water/ Out of the Water
- The area around the thruster inside the boat is clean and dry. Ensure there are no signs of water or oil leaks.
- All electrical connections are clean and fastened fi rmly.
- Ensure that your batteries are in good condition.
Out of Water
- Check the propeller(s) or tunnel for any damage for example impact damage.
- The propeller(s) is fastened securely to the gear leg.
- Check all components of the thruster are fastened securely.
- Clean the tunnel and gear leg from marine growth.
- Paint the propeller and gear leg with anti-fouling before every season to keep it clean from sea growth. (NB: Never paint the anode, rubber seals, or propeller shaft. Ensure paint does not enter the space between the propeller and the gear leg.)
- Change the anode before every season, or when half the anode has eroded. Always use a sealant or thread glue on the securing screw to ensure that it does not fall off.
- Ensure propellers are attached correctly. (NB: Counter-rotating models use a left-hand/right-hand propeller.)
- If an external oil tank is installed with your model, ensure the oil level remains the same.
Basic Troubleshooting
Before seeking assistance from the website help desk from your Side-Power
dealer/ distributor, please perform these tests.
(NB: If you are unable to understand what to check, you must consult a Side
Power distributor.)
| CHECK | SOLUTION |
|---|
The motor runs, but there is no thrust
Check propellers are fi tted, fastened correctly, and not
damaged on the prop shaft.| Re-fasten or replace if necessary
On counter-rotating models ensure LH and RH propellers
are installed correctly| Install correctly
Check the flexible coupling between the motor and drive
the shaft is fi tted correctly and not damaged.| Replace if necessary
Check the gears are not damaged.| Replace if necessary
The thrusters performance is reduced
Check the propeller, gear house and tunnel are free from
growth/ barnacles or debris and damage.| If there is growth in the tunnel,
this will disturb/ block the water flow and signifi cantly reduce performance
Check oil pressure and levels.| Fill if necessary
