The RIM Drive Outboard 15.0 is a 15kW, 48-volt electric motor. Instead of a normal propeller spinning on a central metal shaft, it uses a rim drive. The blades attach to a spinning ring along the outside edge. This eliminates tangled fishing lines and leaky shaft seals.
Specs & Features:RIM Drive Outboard 15.0 Electric Outboard
- Power & Thrust: Delivers 15 kW of power, creating about 195 kg (429 lbs) of static thrust. It pushes boats up to 7,500 kg.
- Weight & Size: The motor itself weighs around 37kg to 39kg.
- Smart Tech: It accelerates from zero to top speed in just 1.5 seconds. It also allows for 320° steering, making docking incredibly easy.
- Maintenance: Features water-lubricated bearings and no central axle, meaning it requires almost zero maintenance.
- Durability: Built with completely waterproof (IP68) salt-water resistant materials.
How it Works:
Think of a traditional propeller like a ceiling fan with a motor in the center. A rim drive moves that motor to the very edge of the fan blades. The ring itself becomes the spinning magnet, making the engine highly efficient.
