The ERV130 is a highly efficient, compact, lightweight retract thruster suitable for boats between 42-62 feet. The integrated inverter for variable speed control makes for a quick and easy installation.

ERV130 has the new 6-phase PMSM synchronous motor made explicitly for marine thruster use, delivering performance and runtime never seen before in a DC thruster. The unit is designed for vertical installation, making it perfect for boats with available height space.

Features:

S-Link

S-Link is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Side-Power (Sleipner) products installed on a vessel.

• Compact and waterproof plugs
• Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
• Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install

Q-Prop

The Q-PROP has measured noise reductions of up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining exceptional efficiency. Some thruster models even see an increase in thrust power.

• The expected noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
• Upgrade kits are available for most Side-Power (Sleipner) thruster models with special adaptors PRO

Pro

A PRO thruster system enables you to apply only the necessary power to complete your maneuver. The variable speed control eliminates the noise associated with standard on/off thrusters.

The system also includes a practical hold-function. In a dual system (bow and stern) a single press of a button will keep you alongside the docks - making docking truly a one-person job. Speed controlled thrusters are the best choice for joystick interaction.

Overheat Protection

When an unsafe temperature is detected, On/off thrusters are automatically shut off to prevent overheating. PRO thrusters with speed control provide extended run-time by derating the thrust power to maintain temperature within safe levels.

Glavanic Separtaion

Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.

Sealed Drive Lubrication

The thruster gearleg is pre-filled for lifetime lubrication and sealed using a long-time mechanical seal with ceramic and carbon surfaces for ultimate security against water intrusion.

Twin Propellers

Twin propellers can provide more thrust than a single propeller system in the same tunnel diameter. We use this system in our mid-range models, where high thrust is required in small tunnel diameters. Due to the compact design and high performance, the twin models have become the thrusters of choice among boatbuilders worldwide.
