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.   was last modified: July 29th, 2019

S-Link ™ is a CAN- based system with intelligent communication between all connected devices, much like a computer network. S-Link digital signal transfer is used on all SR (foldable) and SEP (power-controlled) models.   Round, compact and spray-proof contacts with unique shape and color code for easy and safe installation….

The twin propeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. This is our choice for our mid-range models where high thrust is required in a small tunnel diameter. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the…

A properly engineered single propeller system will be the most energy efficient thruster. Its compact design fits easily into narrow bows making it the perfect match for our smaller models. With more than 60.000 single propeller thrusters in use, the Side-Power single series system has proven its reliability.   was…

The gearhouse / drive legs of most Side-Power DC Electric thrusters are now fully galvanically isolated from the electric motor and motor bracket. This ensures that even if there is an accidental short circuit or a current leak for other reasons, the immersed parts are not affected as they could…

Sealed gearleg with long-life “mechanical” seal where highly polished ceramic and carbon surfaces form the only moving sealing surfaces. Ensures protection against water damage in the gearleg. Pre-filled with special gear oil for lifetime lubrication. “Mechanical” seals with surfaces of ceramic and carbon for ultimate security against water intrusion was…
