Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
According to the user manuals, Sleipner steering systems typically require hydraulic oil ISOVG-15 (DIN51524-3 HVLP specifications). Always check your specific product manual for confirmation.
No. You should never run the thruster out of water. Running it without load allows the propeller to reach extremely high speeds, which can cause severe damage to the drive components and motor.
Side-Power is the historical product brand name for thrusters and stabilizer systems manufactured by Sleipner. The company is currently transitioning to branding these products simply as Sleipner.
