Side-Power EX180 Dual External Pod Thruster 24V

Properties

WATERPROOF HOUSING

We offer modified versions of Sidepower’s DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in any area exposed to moisture. Hermetically sealed in composite housing around all electrical components it provides the perfect protection to electrical systems that could be damaged by water, making these the ideal choice for installations where it is difficult to ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.

DC ELECTRICAL CURRENT

Powered by direct current

ANALOG

Sleipner analog signal cables with plug-and-go connectors are color-coded to match the wiring diagrams with high-quality connectors to ensure a correct installation.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

Detect when internal components become too hot. When an unsafe temperature is detected, the switch automatically shuts off the unit to prevent overheating.

IGNITION PROTECTION

To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats,Sidepower offer modified versions of Sidepower’s DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in stern and other locations that may get wet or be exposed to gasoline fumes. These thrusters are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with gasoline engines. They have a hermetically sealed composite housing around all electric parts. This provides the ignition protection as no gasoline fumes can enter and be ignited by sparks.

The other advantage is that the electric parts that could be damaged by water are also covered and protected, making these thrusters the ideal choice for other stern thruster installations where it is difficult to ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.

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

TWIN PROPELLERS

The twin propeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. This is Sidepower’s choice for Sidepower’s 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 thrusters of choice among boat builders around the world.

INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL

The Sleipner unique thruster controller that intelligently protects the thruster from potential inherent problems in all high current applications as well as user faults. It includes several important safety features imperative in a product with such high power, run by DC electrics, as a thruster.

Features:

• Provides delay between drive directions
• Monitors solenoid functions to reduce the chance of solenoid lock-in
• Will stop the thruster in case of a lockedin solenoid, without extra user action and even without controlling a main switch.
