$11,250.00
SXP100/185T-24V is an external thruster kit with proportional control and a sealed, preassembled waterproof box concept, suitable for bow or stern applications depending on vessel layout and installation planning. Built around a 185 mm tunnel, it delivers 100–116 kg (220–256 lb) published thrust for confident low-speed maneuvering and docking on boats up to ~55 ft when properly installed.
SXP external bow and stern thruster
Sleipner describes SXP100 PRO as an efficient external bow and stern thruster designed for boats up to 55 ft with twin stern drives, delivered fully assembled and sealed in a waterproof box, requiring only a small transom hole for cables.
externally mounted bow thruster
Many customers search for an externally mounted bow thruster when they want a “bolt-on” style upgrade without major internal reconstruction. This SKU is listed on YachtAid under broader external thruster categories, but the manufacturer positioning for SXP100 PRO is stern-focused—so the practical step is confirming the boat’s layout and intended mounting location before purchase.
yacht stern thruster
As a yacht stern thruster, SXP100/185T-24V is built for controlled low-speed handling with variable/proportional speed control and published thrust of 100–116 kg (220–256 lb). Sleipner also highlights special cowls that redirect water flow past stern drives and a hydrodynamic design aimed at minimal water resistance.

add on bow thruster for yachts
For buyers searching an add on bow thruster for yachts, the “add-on” value is the external, sealed, pre-assembled concept: the unit ships fully assembled, wired, and sealed in a waterproof box, helping simplify retrofit planning and cable routing compared with more invasive installs.
sideshift stern thruster
In real docking scenarios, the goal is reliable “side-shift” control at the stern—small, precise corrections that keep the boat aligned while wind or current tries to pivot the transom. Variable/proportional control helps apply only the thrust needed, reducing overcorrection.
external bow thruster for sailboat
If the boat is a sailboat, fitment should be confirmed carefully. This platform is commonly positioned for stern-drive layouts, so sailboat owners should verify transom geometry, underwater appendages, and mounting clearances before purchase.
