  • Evo: Direct-drive motor for high reliability and ultimate low-noise drive.
  • Promotion: 3 year warranty when registered with ePropulsion.
  • Hydrogeneration > supplies charging current to the battery when the propeller turns while sailing, for example!
  • Available in versions with joystick (tiller) or steering control (remote control).
    The Navy 6.0 Evo Remote can be operated with a mono cable steering wheel control or via a control stick (Tiller / Helmstok).
    Four ways to operate the engine:
    • ePropulsion Navy, Pod Drive, Spirit Evo Remote top remote control
    • ePropulsion Side Controls for Spirit Evo, Navy Evo and Pod Drive Evo
    • ePropulsion Evo Dual Remote Control
    • ePropulsion Spirit Evo and Navy Evo Tiller Control Lever. Item number NE-TC00-00.
    • All displays provide information about, among other things, the remaining sailing time.
    • You can also switch back to tiller control later or vice versa. The tiller can also be folded in (70 degree angle).
  • Easy installation. In addition to the remote control, you only need a steering cable (from around 100 euros) and a steering wheel (from around 30 euros).
  • The ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo is a 6 KW electric outboard motor and is the solution if you want to sail sustainably and comfortably.
  • Sleek, easy to use and environmentally friendly. This electric outboard motor is an enrichment for your sailing pleasure!
  • Power 6000W / 48 Volt / 125 Ampere and 279 LBS thrust. However, electric motors have a much higher thrust than gasoline engines. 1 LBS of thrust can propel 10 to 20 kilograms.
  • Comparable to a 10 hp (propulsion power) to 15 hp (thrust) internal combustion engine.
  • Green power and top performance come together here. A Navy 6.0 easily takes a 4.5 meter RIB to 26 kilometers per hour. The engine is suitable for bringing boats up to cruising speed of 5,400 kilograms and boats up to 1,900 kilograms to hull speed.
    For heavier boats, a Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 R electric outboard motor 12 kW 20-25 hp is available.
    For lighter boats, the ePropulsion Navy 3.0 Evo 3kW 6 hp Electric outboard motor 48V is available.
  • Three-blade premium fiber reinforced nylon propellers (1,500 RPM): 2 Propellers are included a low and high pitch propeller.
    The low pitch propeller ( 340 × 216 mm) is ideal for maneuvering large, heavy boats in tight spaces. Where speed is not essential. It has a higher torque but a lower top speed.
    The high pitch propeller (320 × 274 mm) is nice when you need speed on lighter streamlined boats. Where propulsion is not essential. It has a lower torque but a higher top speed. When in doubt, choose the high pitch propeller.
    A ePropulsion Navy 6.0 aluminum propeller is also available (product number N6-LU01-E0) . The big advantage is that it is aluminum alloy, strong and reliable. The thrust is between low and high pitch propeller. Dimensions: 12.6″ × 8.7″.
  • Optimal screw efficiency: The intensive development process includes hundreds of design and research hours for the most efficient product. This ensures that all aspects of the screws are optimized to the highest level.
  • Closed cooling: The Navy 6.0 Evo is the first outboard in series production to feature a closed cooling system for liquid cooling. The cooling system is completely closed and does not use any outboard water. Keeps the engine at a safe temperature under all conditions.
  • Amazing silent : Virtually silent with a direct-drive motor. There is no gear transmission which means less friction in the motor. Fancy a relaxing trip? That is exactly what electric boating offers.
  • Electric start: No longer pulling like with a combustion engine.
  • Maintenance free : The Navy Evo is a game changer. Spend much less time on maintenance or winterizing. Replace the rust-resistant anode only when necessary, only after 200 hours, and grease some parts. Spend less time on your outboard and more time enjoying the water.
  • Suitable for salt water.
  • Trim: Manual in 5 positions: 0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and 60°. This allows you to position the engine out of the water after sailing to prevent algae growth. The other 3 positions can be set depending on your boat and speed to obtain more efficiency.
  • With manual control you can rotate the motor 360 degrees.
  • Weight: 36 kilograms.
  • High efficiency:

    Engine (rpm) Torque Efficiency

    1200 36.5 76.5%

    1300 35.0 79.3%

    1400 33.4 81.5%

    1500 32.3 83.4%

    1600 30.5 85.1%

    1700 29.2 86.5%

  • Money saving:

    • The investment is currently higher than a 10 hp fuel engine. Based on a consumption of 4 liters per hour, the consumption costs for the fuel engine at 1.60 euros per liter are 6.40 euros per hour.
    • With the Navy electric motor, the electricity costs are only 1.50 euros per hour and at half speed 0.75 euros per hour (based on 0.25 euros per KwH).
    • A whole day of sailing for just a few euros! Save on maintenance costs too. A fuel engine needs an annual minor service (110 euros) and sometimes a major service (200 euros). With the Navy electric engine you only need to change 260 ml of oil annually.
    • So at 50 hours per year you save over 350 euros in costs! After 10 years that is 3,500 euros. Ultimately, electric sailing is the most advantageous.
    • Subsidy : Electric boat engines and lithium batteries are eligible for Environmental Investment Deduction and Arbitrary Depreciation of Environmental Investments for vessels used commercially. The tax benefit can amount to over 14% of the investment amount with the MIA\Vamil.
    • Benefits of electric boating: A premium boating experience . Electric boating is clean, quiet and requires less maintenance. Compared to other electric boating options, ePropulsion stands out as a technological pioneer with guaranteed quality. ePropulsion promises to amaze you and can deliver the boating experience you want.
      • Why electric boating?

Options (not included, necessary for a complete installation):

  • Excluding: Battery: minimum 125Ah. Assume a consumption of 2 kWh and a 9 kWh battery of 4.5 hours of sailing . At 7 kilometers per hour the range is then 32 kilometers. Sufficient for most water sports enthusiasts.
    Recommended: ePropulsion E175 9kWh LiFePO4 Battery or 2 E80 batteries. Cheaper AGM or other LiFePO4 batteries are also available.
  • Exclusive: installation 995,-.
  • For multiple batteries: battery cable(s) and a total of 1 ePropulsion E-Series Battery Communication Terminator or ePropulsion E-Series Remote Battery Switch 5 meters.
  • Side control lever (tip) or Top control lever or Tiller or Dual remote control.

Non-essential options:

  • ePropulsion Wristband with Deadman Switch: The engine will shut down if someone falls overboard.
  • ePropulsion Navy 6.0 anti-ventilation cavitation plate: For performance improvement (only for fast sailing - so for lightweight boats).
    Two-piece, high-strength aluminum alloy plate mounted on the lower units of the Navy outboard motor to improve performance. Improves performance by preventing surface air from being sucked into the negative pressure side of the propeller blades (anti-ventilation). Ventilation is the result of air entering the propeller blades. This causes the blades to lose grip on the water, thus increasing RPM and reducing boat speed.
    Mount the anti-ventilation plate 2-3 cm above the top of the propeller and below the waterline.

  • Option: Steering rod for 2 engines 245,-. Both a longer and shorter version available. Two variants700-900 mm Article number 00-0800-02. If you want to install 2 motors, the transom plate must be longer than 120 cm and the space between the motors must be more than 60 cm. This will give you 12 kW of power.
  • Option: dual control for 2 motors. With the Evo Dual Remote Control you can control two motors in one operation with sync. It is also possible to control the two motors separately. Integrated 4.3 inch (11 centimeter) display shows all information in real time, including battery status, distance traveled/remaining range, speed, power and error messages (for both motors separately).
