The next evolution in thruster technology, eVision builds upon the 2011 launch of the Innovation Award-winning Sleipner (Side-Power) Proportional DC Thrusters. Built entirely by Sleipner to expand on the growth provided by the DC Thrusters, eVision is the first electric motor designed specifically for marine thruster use. The line boasts an industry-leading runtime at 100% thrust, as well as a lighter weight and smaller size than comparable models, allowing for easier fit.
eVision is designed for boats from 12m to 30m. It offers up to 30% less amperage draw than previous models, and long run-times at 100% thrust or lower. The new models are quieter and up to 50% lighter than comparable models and take up 40% less space by volume. For safer operation, all models come with ignition protection. They are compatible with Sleipner’s proven S-Link Control system introduced in 2011. With an integrated proportional power controller (PPC), enhancing the growing use of proportional versus traditional single speed control, eVision is perfect for joystick integration where a long run-time is required.
