Nothing for laypeople Has been built in and works immediately. But outdated instructions (also in the network and at the manufacturer) There are not 3 holes to drill but 6th instructions not in German (a shame). The adaptation to the respective hull is poorly described. Drilling template is missing. Sealing the 6 drill holes is a bit tricky. The side tunnels clicked into place really, really hard. Positive. With the appropriate cable, the electrical connection is really easy to make. Incomprehensible hull stickers for 5 euros are not included.

Product details

This compact and practical SX series bow and stern thruster from SIDE-POWER is externally mountable and ideally suitable for boats where a tunnel bow thruster cannot be installed, regardless of the hull shape, material and propulsion system.
The SX models can be used in all types of boats, from sailboats and motorboats to catamarans with steel, aluminium, wood or GRP hulls.
As the external bow thruster is installed further forward towards the bow compared to a conventional tunnel bow thruster and has a significantly lower installation position, a much better leverage effect is achieved. This means that the EX series bow thrusters can move considerably larger boats with a lower nominal power.

Features

Hydrodynamic design
Very short cross channel and ideal positioning reduce water resistance compared to conventional systems. Loss of speed is not noticeable.

Easy installation
Only the installation holes are required, which are sealed with special rubber gaskets. No laminating necessary.

Noise reducing
External design results in significant noise reduction. Deeper installation position for minimal cavitation.

Longer operating times
The external mounting position under the hull allows efficient cooling. This results in considerably longer operating times than with conventional systems.

Space-saving installation
The external construction of the unit saves a lot of space on board compared to conventional systems.

Optimum efficiency
The significantly shorter cross tunnel and ideal leverage effect due to the deeper installation position, further away from the pivot point, result in optimum efficiency. This enables an increase in efficiency of up to 40% compared to conventional systems.

Quality
All components of the SX series are carefully constructed coordinated so that the systems meet the highest quality requirements. Manufactured in our ISO-certified factory in Fredrikstad.

i-BOX - Intelligent system control
  • Minimum electronic switching delay in case of abrupt change of thrust direction
  • Permanent monitoring of the relay function
  • Automatic deactivation of the bow thruster in case of a malfunction of the relay, additional actuation of the main switch is not necessary
  • Compatibility with all Side-Power bow and stern thrusters is guaranteed by using standard Side-Power components.

Delivery includes the i-Box control unit and the SX55S bow and stern thruster.

Bow thruster SX50S1 Hydropod under Hurley 800
Product works perfectly under a Hurley 830 (8.30m x 2.75 3.5 T) The installation under an S-frame ship was not easy, but it was done with 2 people in one day. The boat is not noticeably slower with the SX50S1. The boat (moderately long keel) was difficult to maneuver one-handed in the harbour. With the part (and a self-made remote control) port maneuvers are fun again.

Is this price for front and back together?

This is the price for just the stern thruster itself.
