Electric Steerable POD Motor RIM Drive 3.0
The Steerable POD, a pinnacle of innovation with a maximum input power of 3.0kW and a 48V nominal voltage, ensuring optimal efficiency surpassing 90%. Experience unparalleled acceleration compared to conventional alternatives, coupled with zero-turn steering. The steerable POD is rotatable up to 320 degrees with 160 degrees both ways for ultimate manoeuvrability. All combined in a lightweight compact design.
Enjoy diverse control options with joystick, steering wheel, or CAN control. Adding to its resilience, all our POD motors are fully waterproof with an IP68 rating, achieved by completely casting the motor not by using sealings. The design also minimizes risk of damage to the propeller, perfect performance in any environment
Mounting plates and sealing for our steerable POD motor are available in stainless steel (RVS) and fiberglass (GFK). In addition, an ECU is available. All drawings can be downloaded below in the ‘Downloads’ section.
