ePropulsion Pod Drive 6.0 Evo 6kW 9.9HP Electric Motor
Propulsion Pod Drive 6.0 Evo – Powerful, Silent & Sustainable Electric Motor
The ePropulsion Pod Drive 6.0 Evo is a premium electric pod drive motor designed for sailboats and small crafts, delivering clean, quiet, and space-saving propulsion. With performance equivalent to a 9.9HP gas outboard motor, it provides smooth, eco-friendly power without the noise, fumes, or high maintenance of traditional engines.
Installed beneath the hull, the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo maximizes cabin and cockpit space while reducing onboard vibration—making it ideal for new builds or retrofit projects. Thanks to direct-drive technology, there are no gears, belts, or messy oil changes, giving you a reliable and virtually maintenance-free solution.
For sailors who value sustainability, the hydrogeneration system recharges your batteries while under sail, extending your time on the water and reducing reliance on shore power. Built for both freshwater and saltwater use, the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo is the perfect choice for boaters seeking zero-emission performance, long-term efficiency, and modern electric motor.
