Boat bow and stern thruster (electric, retractable)
SR 100 (6.3 kW @ 10.5 V) Sleipner Motor

Some boats do not have the possibility to fit a tunnel thruster and thereby require a retractable thruster. Side-Power now launches the first models of a series of retractable thrusters where we have talked to the market and identified the weaknesses in existing solutions and improved these to offer retractable thrusters in true Side-Power spirit with no compromise on safety and reliability.
The retracting thrusters are built with the same high safety standards as all Side-Power products, and incorporate all features introduced with the SE-series thrusters. Our focus on safety is a totally integral part of the product design so that everything from build quality to ease of installation is thought of to ensure long term reliability.
