Well I’m not sure, but I did find something very similar. The dimensions look correct too. The website is called “Hardware Hut” Sugatsune 5-1/8" Recessed Flush Pull (Chrome). What do you think?

Hello, I was looking for the same handle. Was hoping that you had luck finding one? Thanks

After reading the SidePower manual, the tunnel does not come with the thruster. I now understand that there is a tunnel and also separate wings. I was confused, I thought they were one in the same. I do not believe that I need the deflector wings. Well, unfortunately the tunnel is not included...

Well, unfortunately the tunnel is not included. The tunnel without the wings cost a whopping $520.00. Thank you everyone again!

Thanks everyone again, I was confused with the Tunnel. Now I see that there are wings that can be added. I thought that the entire Tunnel/Wings was one piece, something that I had to buy as an option. On Defender Marine I do not see the tunnel being included? I’ll have to ask the...

TwistedTree, I looked up the manual. Yep the “Tunnel” was mentioned 57 times. Thanks for that!! (:

Here is the response from the manufacturer: “ I would suggest the IP version of the SE100 for your stern thruster because the IP version gives the thruster water resistance protection. If you have any water in your bilge and hit the throttles all the water will come to the stern and possibly...

Thank you everyone. Was hoping that someone had a photo of the thruster motor installation (interior) location.

Comodave, Interesting that you could not install the SidePower without the tunnel. I contacted the manufacturer with the same questions that I asked on this forum. Hopefully they will answer if we have to install the tunnel. Thanks

Hello, we are thinking about installing a stern thruster on our 2009 34T Mainship. The question that we have, has anyone installed the optional exterior thruster tunnel? The stern thruster that we are interested in is the “Side-Power Sleipner SE100 / 185T Power Thruster”. There is an optional...

Pete, the model name is a 34. But the overall length is 38’-8”.

Don, we have a single Yanmar 370. Your description makes sense. We will look at the location next time we visit the boat. Thank you very much. Hopefully I can find photos of another owner with the same boat/model with a stern thruster.

Hi Pete, we find that when backing into a slip, we do not need a stern thruster in most cases. But unfortunately the slip that we love, because of the view. We need to pull bow in… our beam measures 14’-3” and our slip is very tight 15’-6” When factoring in strong currents and winds...

Thank you Don, Our existing bow thruster has a dedicated 12 volt battery charger with two dedicated batteries under the bed in the state room. You make a great point… to connect the stern thruster to a 12 volt system. Why complicate things. The installer recommended an “ignition protected”...

Good morning, we own a 2009 34 Mainship. We are thinking about adding a stern thruster, because of a tight slip where we need to pull bow in. We contacted an installer. He asked the size of the existing bow thruster. It’s the Side Power/Sleipner SE100/185T (12 volt). The installer recommended...

Here are the photos that they sent to me before I paid.

Recently we noticed that our Yanmar multifunction gauge was getting hard to read. Looked like a large dark round spot started. Thought it was from the sun because the gauge was located on the flybridge. 3 weeks later the same gauge located on the lower helm started to get the same dark spot...

Is this photo.. looking down under the upper helm into the round hatch located in the center of the floor? Thanks

We have a 2009 34 Mainship. I’m very interested in what you find. I have never seen a reservoir under the upper helm. But I will look for it. Also the three rocker switches as I remember are only off/on positions. I’ll have to look to see if there is a way to possibly hold down to see if that...

I just wanted to share the information that Groco sent in reference to the sea grass clogging the strainer basket. “The problem you have with seagrass is hard to resolve. adding a APHS series will help but then there's the zebra mussels blocking the screen holes. SLOTTED SCOOPS OR SCREEN SCOOPS...

The existing Groco A/C strainer has 3/4” intake and outtake hoses. If we installed a larger water strainer/basket we would have to increase the hoses or possibly add some kind of adapter/reducers. A larger strainer has up to 2” - 3” hose connections. Really do not want to install a larger thru...

Here is a photo of our Groco strainer starting to clog with zebra mussels. Thank goodness for Barnacle Buster!

DDW, we found that the basket loop has to be installed correctly as you mentioned. Otherwise the problem with grass collecting on top of the basket becomes worse. We do not have a problem with pine needles. Thanks,

Twistedtree, I was kind of hoping that you might be right. I found a photo and zoomed in. The inlet and outlet metal parts are “marked”. The strainer was installed correctly. Thanks,

HopCar, I really like the idea of APHS screen strainer. My concern is that the small holes might get clogged by the zebra mussel severe problem that we have here during the summer months. Unfortunately I do not have the capability to attach a photo showing the clogged internal strainer. Were you...
