Sleipner SE80 Bow Thruster 24V

Model SE80/185T (24V)

80 kgf twin-prop tunnel bow/stern thruster, 24 V (4.4 kW / 5 hp). Draws ~280 A under load at 21 V nominal; Sleipner specifies a 250 A ANL main fuse, sized to the 2–3 min intermittent (S2) duty cycle rather than to the running current. Daily energy is negligible despite the high peak.

Sleipner SE80 Bow Thruster 24V wiring diagram, 120 mm² (4/0 AWG) positive feed protected by a 350 A fuse and a matching negative return between the 24 V battery bank and the unit.

The run drawn here is the 3 m reference run sized below. Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. Confirm your own run length, routing and terminations before ordering — open this part in the designer to size it against your actual system.

Design current280 A24 V system

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The Crimp engine applies its ordinary continuous-load headroom, voltage-drop budget, terminal clamp, and standard fuse ladder. The 3 m one-way run is a stated reference, not a universal installation prescription.

What else you need to wire the SE80 24V

  • 6 m total of 120 mm² (4/0 AWG) marine cable
  • Four 120 mm² cable lugs matched to the equipment studs
  • 350 A fuse and holder on the positive run
  • Heat-shrink, strain relief, and terminal boots sized to the cable

Catalog profile

The manufacturer, model, ratings and terminal map are maintained as planning data in Crimp's component catalog. Confirm the current manufacturer manual, exact revision and installed nameplate before ordering or wiring.

Engine reference

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
