Electric Outboard Motor (5–50kW)

Silent, Clean, Powerful – Electric Propulsion for Modern Vessels

Product Overview:

Our 5–50kW electric outboard motor range represents the next generation of marine propulsion. Designed for day boats, tenders, small fishing vessels, sailboat auxiliary drives, and commercial workboats, these motors deliver instant torque, near-silent operation, zero local emissions, and significantly reduced operating costs compared to internal combustion outboards. Available in multiple power ratings, shaft lengths, and control configurations – tiller, remote helm, or dual-station. Whether you are repowering an existing hull or specifying propulsion for a new build, our electric outboards offer a clean, reliable, low-maintenance alternative to gasoline or diesel outboards.

Why Choose Electric Outboard (5–50kW)?

Compared to conventional petrol outboards of equivalent power (approximately 6.7–67hp, where 1kW ≈ 1.34hp), electric propulsion offers compelling advantages for many applications.

Key Advantages:

Near-silent operation: Below 60dB at cruising speed – no engine noise, no vibration, no disturbance to wildlife or passengers
Instant torque: Full torque available from zero RPM – exceptional maneuverability and hole-shot performance
Zero local emissions: No CO, no HC, no NOx, no fuel spills – ideal for environmentally sensitive waters, drinking water reservoirs, and national parks
Extremely low maintenance: No oil changes, no spark plugs, no fuel filters, no impellers (except cooling pump on some systems), no carburetor cleaning
Lower operating cost: Electricity costs significantly less than petrol per nautical mile (typically 70–90% lower)
No fuel storage issues: No stale fuel, no ethanol problems, no fuel tank corrosion
Simple starting: Turn a key or push a button – no choke, no priming, no pull-start
Regen capability (on certain models): Regenerate battery charge while sailing or descending waves
Environmentally friendly: No risk of fuel or oil spills into water

Key Technologies & Design Features
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)

All motors in this range use PMSMs (not brushed DC motors). Advantages include:

High efficiency: 92–96% across typical load range (vs. 80–85% for brushed motors)
Regeneration capability: Motor acts as generator when propeller is driven by water flow (sailing or descending)
No brush wear: Maintenance-free rotor (no carbon brushes to replace)
Smooth and quiet: Sinusoidal commutation, no cogging
Excellent low-speed control: Stable down to near-zero RPM for docking and maneuvering

Controller & Inverter

Each motor is paired with a marine-specific motor controller featuring:

Field-oriented control (FOC) for optimal torque and efficiency
Sealed to IP67 (dust-tight, submersible to 1m for 30 minutes minimum)
Integrated safety features: Over-current, over-temperature, under-voltage, reverse polarity
Regeneration management (where supported)
CAN bus communication for integration with vessel displays, battery BMS, and helm controls
