Discontinued thruster
Sleipner SE120/215T-24IP (discontinued): specs, manual and parts
The Sleipner SE120/215T-24IP is a tunnel thruster. The motor sits inside the boat and turns a propeller in a tube through the hull. Sleipner has discontinued it. Its own product page said so when we read it on 1 October 2026.
This page stays up for the owners still running one. It holds the published figures, the part numbers, the manual and the last price we read. You will not find the unit in the thruster finder, the tool here that matches a unit to your boat, or on the compare page. If you need a new thruster, start with either of those.

What the manual and listings say
The ignition-protected build, for a boat with gasoline engines or tanks in the same space. This unit has the same 215 mm tunnel and 139 kg rating as the SE120, 24 V only, for boats of 43 to 59 ft. The page rates the brushed motor for two to three minutes' running at 20 C. The control panel switches itself off after about six minutes unused.
Sleipner's FAQ wants the tunnel at least three quarters of its diameter below the surface, never less than half.
