Discontinued thruster

Sleipner SEP300/300TC (discontinued): specs, manual and parts

The Sleipner SEP300/300TC 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 11 October 2026.

This page stays up for the owners still running one. It holds the published figures, the part numbers and the manual. 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.

Service parts

These are Sleipner’s own part numbers for the parts an owner replaces, where we could find them: the pin that drives the propeller, the propeller, the anode, the brushes, the switch gear, the fuse and the motor. We read them on 11 October 2026. The last column says how we know each one fits this model. Give the dealer your thruster’s serial number from its label when you order.

What the manual and listings say

PRO means proportional: the joystick sets how hard it pushes. This is the 48 V SEP300, with twin propellers in a 300 mm tunnel, for boats of about 72 to 98 ft. Sleipner rates it 340 kg (750 lb) at 48 V and 300 kg (661 lb) at 42 V. Sleipner's own page names the E300 eVision as its replacement.

Replacement and close alternatives

The replacement: Sleipner E300 eVision. Sleipner’s own page for this model links it as the replacement.
