EX70C External stern thruster 24V

The EX70C External stern thruster 24V (item code EX70C) is a compact Sleipner external pod thruster delivering 67 kg of thrust, for displacement and semi-planing boats of 32–42 ft. It can only be mounted in the stern. Pod thrusters of the EX series are an alternative where a tunnel thruster cannot be fitted and are especially suited to retrofitting; they can be installed by an electrician without special tools, independently of hull form, material, propulsion and depth.

Key features

• External pod design: greater leverage, no losses from long transverse tunnels and deeper installation (no cavitation) – up to 40% higher efficiency than conventional systems according to the maker
• Robust, specially coated, seawater-resistant aluminium housing with hard-rubber adapter for optimised flow and tight mounting
• Steel hollow shaft with cable routing, sealed and suspended with neoprene and rubber fittings
• Purpose-built electric motor with up to 5 minutes of non-stop operating time
• I-BOX control centre with patented intelligent power control: delay between drive directions, solenoid monitoring and automatic stop on solenoid lock-in; compatible with other Sleipner thrusters
• Overheat protection, sealed lifetime-lubricated drive and single propeller
• Analog control with colour-coded plug-and-play signal cables
