SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION
Sealed gearleg with long-life ‘mechanical’ seal where highly polished ceramic and carbon surfaces form the only moving sealing surfaces, ensuring protection against damaging water intrusion into the gear leg. Pre-filled with special gear oil for lifetime lubrication.
Features:
- ‘Mechanical’ seals with surfaces of ceramic and carbon for ultimate security against water intrusion
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 Sleipner propellers. This goal was achieved, andSidepower 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.
Features:
- 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 Sleipner models except models with 300Â mm and 385Â mm 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 Sidepower’s larger thrusters for maximum power. The TC models are the favourite thrusters among leading boatbuilders for their high-end yachts.
