The Pod Drive 6.0 Evo from ePropulsion has the following advantages:
- Space saving (not in the boat)
- Silently
- Maintenance free
- Seawater resistant
- No cooling required
- More beautiful than an outboard motor
- Hydrogenation; charges the battery while sailing or sailing faster with a folding propeller.
-
POD motor benefits: Pod drives are direct-drive, maintenance-free electric motors for sailboats and small craft. They are space-saving and maximize your cabin space.
Furthermore, POD engines offer an efficiency gain of between 15 and 30 percent compared to inboard engines. Because they extend below the waterline and point straight forward, there is no efficiency-degrading shaft angle, as with inboard engines. This means that the thrust is directed in a straight line. Less power and therefore consumption is needed to propel a boat at the same speed compared to inboard engines.
- As a steerable pod motor, for example by mounting it in the rudder blade.
-
Optimal performance: Epropulsion Pod systems ensure optimal sailing characteristics, based on thorough development to achieve minimal water resistance.
Originally introduced on the Spirit 1.0 and Navy 3.0, Pod Drive systems have all the benefits of traditional ePropulsion outboards and more. Epropulsion has developed more user-friendly features that deliver an exceptional boating experience from installation to operation.
- Comparable to a 10 hp (propulsion power) to 15 hp (thrust) internal combustion engine.
-
The engine is suitable for bringing boats from 2,600 to 5,400 kilograms to cruising speed and boats up to 950 to 1,900 kilograms to hull speed . Is your (sailing) boat lighter? Then take a look at the ePropulsion Pod Drive 3.0 Evo electric Pod engine. For heavier boats, the Torqeedo Cruise 12.0 FP 12 kW is available or install 2 pod engines.
- From a similar engine Navy 6.0 We have included some test reports (sailing time and distance).
- Excluding: Battery: minimum 125Ah. For a consumption of 2 kWh and 4 hours of sailing, assume an 8 kWh battery. Recommended: ePropulsion E80 LiFePO4 Battery 4.1 kWh 48V or 2 E80 batteries or 3 E40 batteries. 1 E80 battery is also possible, but then you get a maximum of 3.9 kW of power. Cheaper AGM or other LiFePO4 batteries are also available.
- Excluding remote control:
- ePropulsion Navy, Pod Drive, Spirit Evo Remote top of remote control or
- ePropulsion Side Control Spirit Evo, Navy Evo and Pod Drive Evo or
- ePropulsion Evo Dual Remote Control

Review: I've never heard of the pod drive that works with a 32-ft sailboat. I thought it's only available for the large yacht like Volvo Penta. My cousin shared ePropulsion Pod Drive 3.0 to me when I was working on the configuration of my new sailboat.

The mounting pad is divisible so you can create 2 depth positions, make sure the propeller rotates sufficiently freely from the hull to prevent too much cavitation.
When installing, use plenty of Sika 291 sealant around the centre pipe (on the base plate, where the cables run through), along the outer edge of the base plate and between the flange and the motor.

Option: folding propeller To experience less resistance from the boat propeller during sailing, the folding propeller is used, especially in racing sailing ships. Dimensions: 13.4" x 8.5", Material: NAB (nickel aluminum bronze), Number of blades: 2, Product number: P6-LU01-00
-
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).
