E-Tech Electric POD Outboard Drives
Excellence in Electric Marine Propulsion
Mounting & Steering Essentials:
- Material & Customization: Both the outboard bracket and the POD motor mounting shaft are crafted from durable stainless steel. By default, they’re designed to fit the CMC Trim & Tilt but can also be tailored in size and length to meet specific vessel requirements
- Rotation & Steering: The motor can potentially rotate up to 180°. Actual rotation is determined by the chosen steering system, typically allowing 30°-35° in either direction. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a custom or non-standard steering solution.
- Mounting Flexibility: Users can opt to integrate the bracket with a CMC trim and tilt device or attach it permanently to the transom.
- Additional Equipment Options: The bracket’s design accommodates various trim units or jack plates, enhancing versatility. For outboard-style steering, an additional outboard tilt tube is required.
- Custom Angle Adapter: A custom adapter, tailored for specific vessels, is available to achieve the optimal motor angle.
Key Features
- High Torque & Efficiency BLDC PM Technology: Benefit from up to 90% efficiency across the propulsion system, no maintenance requirements, and seamless Plug & Play installation.
- Universal 1:10 Taper Shaft and Counter Rotating Propellers: Designed for optimal performance, compatibility, and balance, ensuring smooth sailing for every sailor.
- Customization and Diagnostics via Bluetooth: Control, customize, and monitor your drive system effortlessly using an Android app.
- Regeneration Function: Each motor can be equipped with a unique regeneration function. This allows your batteries to recharge while you’re sailing, maximizing your boat’s operational duration.
- Hybrid Setup Compatibility: If you’re using another motor, our system can operate in a hybrid setup, ensuring consistent battery recharging.
E-Tech Electric POD Drives: Technical Specifications
Motor Power: Ranging from 4kW for lighter applications to a potent 35kW for demanding conditions. Whether you’re cruising coastal waters or venturing into the open sea, there’s an E-Tech drive calibrated for your needs.
Operating Voltage: Our versatile drives can operate across a broad voltage spectrum from 48V to 144V, ensuring compatibility with a range of power sources and setups.
Battery Compatibility: The beauty of our system lies in its adaptability. While there’s no limit to battery size, it’s essential to note that the voltage should align with the motor’s nominal system. Our system boasts flexibility by accommodating batteries that may have higher or lower voltages than nominal. However, any deviation should be consulted with a specialist to ensure optimal performance and safety.
