AC Thruster 1300 kg

S-link™

S-link™ is a CAN-based control system with full intelligent communication between all units in the system, much like a computer network.

• Round, compact and waterproof connectors with unique keying and color coding to avoid faulty hookup
• Unlimited number of commands or information transferred on a single cable
• User feedback at panel
• Intelligent troubleshooting

Q-prop™

The new 5 blade special skew propellers are the result of over 2 years of development work and thousands of tests. They have been designed to reduce the noise level, while maintaining the exceptional efficiency of the old 4 blade Side-Power propellers. This goal was achieved, and we even chose to make them a little bit more aggressive on some models, increasing the thrust on some thrusters about 5%. Please see individual information on each new thruster for more details.

• Noise reductions of up to 75% measured in controlled environments
• The expected and tested normal noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
• Will be delivered on all Side-Power models except models with 300mm and 385mm tunnel diameter
• Upgrade kits are available for most SP series thrusters with special adaptors

Twin Counter-Rotating Propellers

Two counter-rotating propellers can give the most thrust at a good performance ratio in a minimal tunnel diameter. This system is used in our larger thrusters for maximum power. The TC models are the favourite thrusters among leading boatbuilders for their high-end yachts.

External oil tank for easy access

The thruster gearleg is filled with oil from a remote reservoir located above the waterline. This generates overpressure, making an effective seal against water intrusion in the gear leg.

• Separate oil reservoir placed above the waterline
• Allows easy access for oil changes
• Having the advantage to be able to change oil in units used commercially, with hundreds of running hours per year
