Electric Outboard Motor - 5.1 kW (7HP)

5.1 kW Electric Outboard Motor – reliable performance, modern technology

A motor built on proven fundamentals

Developed around a mechanical architecture similar to traditional outboards, this electric model follows design principles that have been trusted in the marine industry for decades. The user benefits from intuitive handling, simplified maintenance, and reliability comparable to conventional engines, while enjoying the advantages of electric propulsion. With a power output of 5.1 kW (equivalent to approximately 7 hp), it is ideal for boaters seeking a compact and robust motor for coastal trips, water activities, or leisure use on inland waters.

48 V: the right balance between safety and performance

The choice of a 48 V nominal voltage serves a dual purpose: delivering sufficient propulsion to replace a small gasoline outboard, while remaining below critical electrical thresholds to ensure safety for both operators and onboard systems. The motor requires a stable power source capable of delivering approximately 100 A continuously, making it compatible with most modern lithium batteries as well as well-dimensioned lead-acid banks.

• Continuous performance: optimal operating range between 5,000 and 5,500 rpm.
• Universal compatibility: suitable for lithium or lead-acid batteries within the recommended capacity.
• Simple integration: safe voltage level allowing direct installation into a 48 V system.

Metal propeller for higher reliability

The propeller is manufactured in metal to guarantee superior mechanical strength against impacts, abrasion, and demanding environments. Unlike plastic propellers, which are more vulnerable to damage and wear, the metal design ensures longer service life and improved hydrodynamic efficiency – essential for regular use and coastal conditions.

Silent and environmentally friendly navigation

Electric propulsion eliminates engine noise and greatly reduces vibration. This ensures passenger comfort, ideal discretion for fishing, and a more immersive experience for nature exploration. The quiet operation also goes hand in hand with a reduced environmental footprint, with no local emissions or fuel spills.

• Onboard comfort: reduced vibration and noise.
• Fishing and leisure: no underwater acoustic disturbance.
• Environmental respect: clean propulsion suitable for sensitive waters.

Tiller control

The tiller handle provides direct and intuitive steering. Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended use. Forward – Neutral – Reverse shifting ensures smooth and precise maneuvers, even in confined spaces.

• Immediate response: simple and reliable mechanical linkage.
• Smooth transitions: fluid shifting between F–N–R positions.
• User comfort: ergonomic tiller designed for long sessions.

Water cooling

The liquid cooling system maintains the motor within its optimal temperature range, even during extended operation. This system protects both electronic and mechanical components from overheating, extending the life of the motor and ensuring maximum reliability.

• Thermal regulation: stable rpm in all conditions.
• Endurance: continuous operation without thermal limitations.
• Durability: reinforced protection for internal components.

Energy management and display

The motor includes an integrated monitoring system displaying battery voltage and remaining capacity. This feature supports better energy management and gives the operator clear visibility of available resources.

• Real-time monitoring: live voltage and autonomy display.
• Wide compatibility: works with various 48 V battery technologies.
• Optimized usage: ensures predictable and safe energy management.

Built-in safety and protection

User safety is ensured through multiple systems. An emergency kill switch with cord allows instant shutdown in case of accidental disconnection or emergency. The motor is also protected against corrosion with a sacrificial anode and the use of marine-grade materials.

• Immediate stop: safety cord (man overboard).
• Corrosion resistance: dedicated protection for saltwater use.
• Enhanced reliability: materials and treatments built for marine conditions.

Easy installation and maintenance

Weighing approximately 30 kg, the motor can be handled by a single person. Its quick-mount system allows easy installation or removal from the transom. Maintenance requirements are minimal, based on familiar design principles and accessible components that can be serviced with standard tools.

• Manageable weight: around 30 kg, easy to handle.
• Quick mounting: fast installation on most transoms.
• Simplified service: familiar design, easy access to key components.
