Sleipner SX50 12 Volt External Stern Thruster (150mm)
The SX50 External Thruster is one of the latest external thrusters from Sleipner.
It is the world’s most compact external thruster, and can be fitted in any hull shape or material.
Suitable for hull thickness up to 150mm.
Suitable for hull thickness up to 50mm.
The SX50 is perfect when the layout does not allow a standard installation.
Lower production costs make it excellent value for money.
Suitable for boats up to 8-11 metres/27-37 feet.
It can be installed either as a bow or stern thruster.
An installation as a bow thruster require a specially designed hydro-dynamic mounting pod for the underside of the hull.
The stern thruster has the option of a set of specially designed cowls. These vastly improve efficiency. This also allows a shallow installation, close to the waterline.
Quick and easy to fit, with no fibreglass work needed.
Especially suited to retrofitting.
Also available with propeller protection grids. These can be fitted for use in water with floating debris.
Flexible mounting at the extreme bow of the boat hull makes them extremely efficient.
A “hydropod” cover is also available to order. This will streamline the thruster even further.
