"There are two types of boaters: those who
have a bow thruster and those who wish
they had one!"

Over 100 years of service
2008 marked Sleipner Motor’s 100th year serving the boating community.
While our product development focuses on making boating easier, safer,
more accessible comfortable, our historic commitment has always been to
offer the highest quality and reliability to our customers. Over the years we
have grown to be the global leader in thrusters (with well over 100,000 put
into service) and we are proud to know that our products have enhanced the
boating experience for so many people.
It makes docking easy
As marinas get more crowded and slips become tighter, docking a boat safely
is more challenging than ever before. Thrusters give you total control of
your boat and allow you to maneuver into and out of tight spots with ease
and actual control of your boat. Thrusters also have the benefit over “pod”
systems with single joystick that they only need to apply a reasonable amount
of power in the actual direction you wish to move the boat, instead of having
to use perhaps as much as ten times this power through vectoring several
thrust sources to achieve a net power in the desired direction, thereby avoid-
ing the annoying wash for all the boats around you.
Confidence in all conditions
Boating is meant to be fun. Why end your day or week on the water with a
stressful experience? A Side-Power thruster offers the help you need to be
in full control when docking and departing regardless of wind conditions and
currents. And you can do this with full confidence, you do not need to rely
on a computer to understand what you mean to do and then re-apply this
into other commands to several propulsion sources. Using thrusters means
you control exactly what is going to happen.
Even simpler shorthanded boating
With the new DC Speed control thrusters, the unique “Hold” function takes
shorthanded boating to a new level. See page 8 for more information
