ePropulsion Pod Drive 1.0 Evo – Silent, Space-Saving Electric Motor

The ePropulsion Pod Drive 1.0 Evo is a compact, efficient, and whisper-quiet electric motor designed for sailboats and small crafts. Delivering performance equivalent to a 3HP gasoline outboard, it offers a clean, reliable, and eco-friendly propulsion solution that maximizes cabin space while minimizing onboard noise and vibration.

Unlike bulky outboards, the Pod Drive 1.0 Evo is installed beneath the hull, freeing up valuable cockpit and interior space—perfect for both retrofits and new builds. Built with direct-drive technology, it eliminates the need for gears, belts, and oil changes, giving you a nearly maintenance-free boating experience.

For sailors seeking sustainable power, the hydrogeneration feature allows the motor to recharge your batteries while under sail, extending your time on the water without relying on shore power.
