Grids, pair for 140mm Tunnel MPN-SM130789

Ensure the safety and optimal performance of your Sleipner thruster system with this pair of protective grids. Engineered specifically for 140mm tunnels, these grids act as a vital barrier, preventing foreign objects, debris, and marine life from entering the thruster tunnel and potentially damaging the propeller. Their robust design is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your thruster system, especially in challenging underwater environments, contributing to safer and more reliable operation of your vessel.

• Key Features
• Propeller Protection: Acts as a physical barrier to prevent damage to the thruster propeller from debris, ropes, and marine growth.
• Enhanced Safety: Significantly reduces the risk of thruster failure due to foreign object ingestion, ensuring operational safety.
• Optimized Water Flow: Designed to allow unrestricted water flow to the propeller while effectively blocking larger objects.

These thruster grids are a fundamental safety accessory for any boat owner who values the reliability and longevity of their thruster system. The primary benefit they offer is the prevention of catastrophic damage to the thruster's propeller. In marine environments, it's common to encounter unexpected items like plastic bags, fishing lines, or even small pieces of wood that can easily get drawn into the thruster tunnel at speed. Without these protective grids, such an intrusion could quickly lead to a jammed propeller, a broken blade, or even motor damage, resulting in costly repairs and significant downtime.

Beyond simple protection, the design of these grids is carefully considered to minimize any impact on the thruster's performance. They are shaped and spaced to allow a substantial volume of water to pass through, ensuring that the thruster can still deliver its intended thrust efficiently. This balance between protection and performance is key to their effectiveness. Easy to install, these grids offer boaters peace of mind, knowing that a critical component of their vessel's maneuverability system is well-protected against the common hazards found beneath the waves. They are an essential investment for maintaining the operational readiness and safety of your boat.
