A complete thruster system
There are several componets in a complete system for your boat, besides the thrusters and tunnels (bow or stern or both) you will need control cables, main switches - automatic or manual - fuse & fuse-holder, control panel(s) and main power cables, even a radio remote is a normal part of a thruster system today. To simplify installation and further increase the safety, we recommend to use the original Side-Power Automatic Main switch which has also a built is fuse reducing the number of necessary componets. Where the Automatic Main switch is used, you need a 5 lead control cable between the panel and main switch, while only a 4 lead is needed to the thruster or if a manual or other auxiliary main switch and seperate fuse is used.
The powerful electric motors used on the thrusters require a good electric power supply for safe operation and to achieve the desired power. Thereby, both the main power cable sizes as well as the available battery capacity is important. It is the actual delivered voltage at the thruster when it is running, after the voltage drop both in the batteries as well as through the cables, main switch and fuse, that decides the actual power of the electric motor and therby the possible thrust. So, getting this right will be important for your product satisfaction. It is also important to remember that different types of batteries have different capabilities and specialties, and what is important for thrusters is the cranking capacity, the batteries ability to deliver a high current for a shorter period of time.
SE Series - Standard bow and stern thrusters
The standard bow and stern thruster series are the base for all our extensive range of DC electric thrusters. They are fitted in a tunnel through the bow, or into our stern tunnels to use as a stern thruster. The electric motors, solenoids, patented IPC control system and the mechanical parts of the propulsion system are all totally custom designed and built, utilizing the extensive experience gained through years of leadership in the glbal thruster market.
IP Versions - For demanding enviroments
The IP - ignition protected - versions are equipped with a hermetically sealed cover around the motor and switch gear. This means that it is safe to use gasoline boats or other areas where there is a risk of explosive fumes as well as excellent for installation in wet areas (not for submerged installations). Can be used for both bow or stern applications. Most models in both the SE and SEP series are available in IP versions.
SR Series - Retractable thrusters
Our retractable thrusters are excellent for use as bow or stern thrusters in boats with shallow or flat bottomed hulls, or where a tunnel opening in the hull at all is not desireable. Designed in true Side-Power spirit with reliability and durability as main factors, they are exceptionally sturdy and compact with the same high performance as all other Side-Power thrusters. Unique advantages by use of the latest technology including our S-link intelligent bus controls provides a further benefit in use and control for the operator.
SX Versions - Externally fitted stern thrusters
The fully external stern thrusters. Very popular for boats with twin stern drives together with the special cowls directing the water flow past the drives or in boats that have limited internal space in the back of the boat. Exceptionally easy installation is a bonus with the SX stern thrusters. Two size models are available now, the 80 and 100 kg thrust models and you can get both SE and SEP series in SX versions.
SEP Series - The speed controlled thrusters
The SEP series are basically SE thrusters with the addition of the DC Powercontrol system. Providing even more accurate control by fully regulating the power of the thruster as well as providing even longer run times, this is the latest in DC electric thrusters. The noise reduction and automatic "HOLD" function are further benefits provided by the SEP series.
