To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats, we offer modified versions of our DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in stern and other locations that may get wet or be exposed to petrol fumes. These thrusters are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with petrol engines. They have a hermetically sealed composite housing around all electric parts. This provides the ignition protection as no petrol 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. Side-Power's new range of proportional speed control DC thrusters allow you to select the power you need for precise boat movements in any weather and sea conditions. The unique hold feature allows you to keep the boat in position at dock or in locks. Certified to ISO 8846 ignition protected standards Water proof (not for submerged mounting) Tinned plated brass terminals Manufactured, tested and delivered as a ready sealed unit, ensuring that the installer does not have to fit any other parts that can jeopardize the hermetical seal Supplied with plug and go control cable Ignition protected housing can be opened and thereby retains serviceability of components inside the enclosure Available as SEP-IP versions with DC speed control Power: 8kW at 21 Volts Internal Tunnel Diameter: 250mm Propulsion System: Twin, 5 blades Boat Size: 50' to 70' Battery Capacity: 550 CCA SAE 24VDC
