Side Power SE170/250TC-2 Tunnel Bow/Stern Thruster 24V - 215 mm - 374 to 462 lbs of Thrust

SE170 is one of Side Power's most popular models with 170-210 kg thrust. Suitable for boats between 50-70 feet, depending on weight and windage area. Can be mounted in the bow and stern. 

The thruster offers great installation flexibility as it can be mounted at any angle on the tunnel. Additionally, the electric motor can be rotated 90 degrees on the motor bracket. 

It is galvanically isolated and features Sleipner's patented IPC technology for intelligent power control and safety. See more of the product features below.

Bow and stern thruster

They are fitted either in a tunnel through the boat's bow or into a stern tunnel at the boat's stern. Available as standard version (on/off), PRO™ version (variable speed control), and IP PRO™ version (with ignition protection and variable speed control), extending from 44 to 661 lb (20 kg to 300 kg) of thrust. 

Sleipner's stern tunnels are designed with solid and durable fiberglass to enhance the thruster's performance and are installed effortlessly in the boat's transom. Additional cowls (sold separately) allow installation in boats with shallow drafts or obstructions on the stern.

The electric motors, solenoids, patented IPC control system, and mechanical parts of the propulsion system are all custom designed and built - utilizing the extensive experience gained through years of leadership in the global thruster market.

Docking has never been easier

Our PRO™ thruster models are equipped with speed control, giving you full variable control of the thruster. The speed control is more intuitive for you as a boater and makes for a quieter and more relaxed maneuver. If you install a dual thruster system (bow and stern), you get the revolutionary hold function, pinning the boat to the pier while docking.

Overheat Protection

When high temperatures are detected, On/off thrusters are automatically shut off to prevent overheating. PRO™ thrusters with speed control provide extended run-time by derating power to maintain temperature within safe levels..

Ignition protection

We offer ignition-protected thruster models to provide a reliable and safe installation in locations where the thruster motor may be exposed to water or gasoline fumes.. 

Intelligent Power Control

Sleipner's patented intelligent power control provides a minimal delay between drive directions to reduce wear of the mechanical parts while monitoring solenoid functions. In the case of a solenoid lock-in, the thruster will automatically stop without extra user action or controlling the main switch.

Q-prop

The Q-PROP™ has measured noise reductions of up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining exceptional efficiency. Some thruster models even see an increase in thrust power. 

• The expected noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
• Upgrade kits are available for most Sleipner thruster models with special adaptors

Twin Porpeller

Two counter-rotating propellers offer the most thrust at a good performance ratio in a minimal tunnel diameter. This system is used in our larger thrusters for maximum power. Our twin-counter thruster range is the favorite among leading boatbuilders in high-end yachts.
