ePropulsion Electric Pod Drive 6.0 Evo 6kW / 9.9HP
ePropulsion pod drives are direc-drive and maintenance-free electric motors for sailboats and small crafts. They’re space-saving and maximize your cabin space.You hear no noise onboard. Under 10HP, it’s a market gap of diesel saildrive, and ePropulsion pod drives can satisfy the demand and offer a new option other than outboard.
Hydrogeneration Empowers Sailboats
The ePropulsion Electric Pod Drive 6.0 Evo is a 6kW under-hull electric propulsion motor that delivers performance equivalent to a 9.9 HP gasoline engine. This propulsion system is specifically designed for sailing yachts and small boats up to 6 tons, offering a pollution-free, quiet, and space-saving solution.
Features – ePropulsion Electric Pod Drive 6.0 Evo 6kW / 9.9HP
Hydrogeneration Technology: Automatically recharges the battery while the boat is sailing, utilizing wind currents.
Zero Maintenance: Uses a direct-drive system (without gears/gearboxes) with natural water cooling, eliminating vibration, noise, and the risk of mechanical component wear.
Smart Control & Digital Display: Supports connection to various control levers (Evo Remote Control or Side Mount) that displays battery status, power, voltage, and remaining cruising time in real time.
Maximum Safety: Equipped with a magnetic kill switch and automatic protection if the propeller strikes an underwater object.
The ePropulsion Pod Drive 6.0 Evo is a 6kW, 9.9HP-equivalent electric pod motor designed for sailboats and small watercraft up to 6 tonnes. It features a space-saving under-hull installation, silent direct-drive operation, and hydrogeneration to recharge batteries while sailing.
- Direct Drive: Gearless motor design ensures no vibration or gearbox noise.
- Hydrogeneration: Automatically recharges your 48V battery bank while under sail (using ePropulsion E-Series batteries).
- Space Saving: Mounted under the hull to maximize cabin room.
- Zero Maintenance: Built without parts that wear out or require routine servicing.
Battery Compatibility
This motor is highly recommended for use with an ePropulsion E-Series Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery (such as the E163) for automatic hydrogeneration optimization. However, the electrical system still supports the use of third-party 48V batteries, provided the hydrogeneration feature is disabled.
