ePropulsion Electric Pod Drives

ePropulsion’s POD Drives are direct-drive, low-maintenance electric motors ideal for sailboats and small crafts. Designed to be space-efficient, they help maximise your cabin area while ensuring a noise-free onboard experience. Filling a market gap for sub-10HP diesel saildrives, our POD Drives offer a compelling alternative to traditional outboard motors.

ePropulsion POD 3 Electric Motor

The POD 3 Evo Drive is simply the bottom 3rd of the ePropulsion Navy 3 electric outboard engine and designed to fit through the hull of your boat to provide virtually silent propulsion. Please note blue tooth connectivity is not available for these engines including the ePropulsion top mount single or twin controller.
