Meet the Sleipner 8950G Touch Panel — a premium Side-Power Bow Thruster control interface designed for modern vessels. Built for 12V or 24V systems, this compact, front-mounted panel delivers precise touch input, instant response, and clear status feedback when maneuvering in tight spaces or challenging sea conditions.

What makes the 8950G truly distinct

• Multi-Voltage versatility: engineered for single 12/24V systems, reducing wiring complexity and increasing compatibility across a wide range of boats.
