Electric Boat Pod Drive

For years as boatbuilders we have installed electric drives from third parties.

Electric boat pod drive.

With hundreds of hours cfd optimization the water drag is minimized. Pod drive is becoming popular and epropulsion offers you the electric option. Then in 2009 e tech decided to develop its own e drive for yachts and boats. Only the highest quality li ion batteries are used to ensure performance and safety.

Highest storage capacity high effective current delivery high charge capacity resiliency and wide temperature range performance. Torqeedo pod motors are state of the art electric boat drives in the performance range of 5 to 20 hp. Pods took that basic design and improved upon it making a more sturdy drive that can handle more horsepower built heavier and of corrosion resistant materials so that it can withstand full time submerged in salt water and a position underneath the boat instead of off the transom to enhance the level of control while at slow speeds. Oceanvolt highly skilled technical team ensures proper installation and system optimization.

The many short comings of the systems which were installed till then forced us to develop a better solution. Last year alerion yachts began offering electric propulsion on their new production boats with a mastervolt electric pod drive as a no charge option on their popular alerion express 28 sailboat model substituting for the normal 14hp diesel saildrive. Lithium ion batteries are superior to other battery storage technology. Our electric boat motors prove to be quiet reliable and affordable.

Electric yacht electric propulsion systems are available in many sizes and are recommended for boats up to 60 and 45 000lbs. Here is their august 29 2011 blog entry presenting a great overview of the benefits. It provides top line details for more than 150 individual motors sorted by power range style and usage. Epropulsion is leading the innovation of electric outboard motors with brushless direct drive outboard field oriented control anti corrosion technology.

Boat pod drive brushless perm magnet electric engine bldc. Depending on the size of your battery bank cruise at low speeds all day or faster speeds for a couple hours. The lifetime maintenance free design saves you time for work and have more time for fun on the water. As soon as you start sailing you start recharging your batteries with electric yacht s adjustable.

The engine works underwater the engine is fully maintenance free and has a heavy thrust bearing installed a standard shaft f 25mm 2 pod 4 pod. Welcome to what we believe is the most complete guide to electric saildrive and pod boat motors. Epropulsion is always your first choice of the electric outboard motor.
