Description and specifications
Electric Steerable POD 5.0 propulsion for you boat! These motors are perfect candidates for those who want to sail electric, as they have a streamlined design, are sustainable and functional. Because of its unique design, the motor consists of only one rotating part. It significantly decreases maintenance costs. Combined with extremely high torque, fast response time, and saltwater compatibility our electric propulsion motors can be equipped in many boats.
You will find the Electric Steerable POD 5.0 and other Rim Drive Technology motors on sloops, autonomous unmanned vehicles, ROVs, research vessels and navy-related sailing solutions.
Unique POD propulsion design
During the design phase, we have set goals to minimize installation and service costs for our users. By having just one rotating part, we have achieved minimized maintenance costs. On the other hand, we succeeded in replacing an anode or propeller within less than two minutes.
All our products are saltwater resistant to ensure ease of installation for every boat owner. In addition to this, all motors are certified with an IP68 rating. We want to support our customers from start to finish. To realize this, we offer a wide range of accessories which increases the user friendliness of our motors. To provide the best customer experience, our accessories work efficiently with all our electric propulsion motors.
