Haswing Ventura F 5.0 (24 V, 160 lbs)
Battery and battery charger included: complete with 2.5 kWh LFP battery (100 Ah) and battery charger.
The Haswing Ventura F 5.0 is a powerful, brushless electric outboard motor designed for transom mounting on larger boats, sailboats, or sloops that require reliable and quiet propulsion. With an impressive thrust of 160 lbs (comparable to approximately 5 to 6 hp of propulsion power), this motor offers the power needed for effective maneuvering and cruising.
The motor operates on 24 V and utilizes an advanced brushless motor design. This means less wear, higher efficiency, and a longer lifespan compared to traditional brushed motors. Control is stepless via a remote control or can be connected directly to the boat's steering system, ensuring comfortable and precise steering.
💡 Key benefits

Here is a summary of general user reviews and experiences with this motor:
Haswing Ventura F 5.0 user reviews
Positive experiences
- Plenty of thrust: users of larger and heavier sloops indicate that the motor provides enough power to remain maneuverable even in headwinds or light currents.
- Quiet operation: the low noise level is frequently mentioned as a significant benefit. The brushless design makes quiet cruising and conversations on board more comfortable.
- Strong at low speeds: users appreciate the available torque when departing and maneuvering with heavier boats.
- Good price-quality ratio: multiple users consider the Ventura an affordable alternative to more expensive electric outboard motors, with sufficient performance for recreational use.
- Stepless control: the precise speed control via remote is perceived as pleasant, especially when cruising slowly or maneuvering.
Points of attention from user experiences
- Finish: some users find that plastic parts and cabling are finished more simply than with higher-end premium brands. According to experiences, this generally does not affect operation.
- Consumption at full power: at 100% power, approx. 105 A at 24 V, battery consumption increases sharply. For a longer sailing time, users therefore usually recommend sailing at around 50 to 70% of the power.
- Battery indicator: the LED indicator on the motor is seen primarily as a guideline rather than a fully accurate battery capacity measurement, especially with lithium batteries.
Summary of user reviews
The user experiences largely align with the product test: the Haswing Ventura F 5.0 is primarily appreciated for its thrust, quiet operation, and good price-quality ratio. The main points of attention are the higher power consumption at full capacity and the simpler finish compared to more expensive premium brands.
Product test & review Haswing Ventura F 5.0
In general, the Haswing Ventura F 5.0 is seen as an excellent mid-range motor that offers a good price-quality ratio, especially for sailors seeking a powerful, quiet electric motor without the high price tag of absolute top brands.
- Field test with Marinaut 495 sloop: tested with two people and a total weight of approx. 500 kg. At 250 W, 3–4 km/h was measured with a range of approx. 35 km on a removable 2.5 kWh LFP battery. At 500 W, 4–5 km/h was measured with over 20 km of range. At 750 W, 5–6 km/h was measured with nearly 20 km of range. At 1 kW, the speed was 6–7 km/h with over 15 km of range. At 2 kW, 7–8 km/h was measured with nearly 10 km of range. With a 5 kWh battery, the range can roughly double under similar conditions.
-
🏆 Strong Thrust for the Price: The 160 lbs of thrust (comparable to approx. 5–6 hp) is perceived as very powerful, especially given the motor's relatively low weight (approx. 16 kg).
-
🔌 Brushless and Efficient: The modern brushless motor ensures smooth, stepless speed control, high efficiency, and lower power consumption than older motor types with carbon brushes.
-
🤫 Very Quiet: Like other electric motors, the Ventura F 5.0 operates virtually silently (<55 dB), which greatly enhances boating pleasure in quiet waters.
-
🛠️ Good Quality and Construction: The motor is considered to be solidly and reliably built. The materials, including an aluminum and stainless steel shaft, are suitable for both fresh and salt water (if rinsed properly).
-
🛳️ Ease of Integration (F-version): The F-version is specifically designed for steering wheel control and remote operation (external throttle), making integration into existing sailboats or motorboats simple.
-
Speed vs. Thrust: While the thrust (pushing power) is comparable to a 5–6 hp combustion engine, the pure top speed on light boats is often closer to that of a 3 hp gasoline engine. This is due to the design focus on efficiency and torque (thrust), which is typical for most electric motors.
-
Battery Indicator: The integrated LED voltage display* for battery voltage may work less accurately in combination with advanced lithium batteries (LiFePO4). Many experts recommend using a battery with its own (Bluetooth) display for the most precise measurement with lithium batteries.
-
Comparison to Premium Brands: The Ventura is very good for its price, but according to experts, it does not quite reach the level of the most expensive A-brands (such as Torqeedo or ePropulsion) in terms of extreme efficiency or the most advanced onboard electronics.
-
The motor is suitable for bringing boats from 700 to 2,200 kg to cruising speed and boats from 250 to 750 kg to hull speed.
If you want a motor with more power, choose the Navy 6.0. - With most boats up to 7 meters, you cruise at about 7 kilometers per hour with 1 kW of power (and thus 1 kWh battery consumption per hour). With a 4 kWh battery, you then have a minimum of 28 kilometers of range, which is sufficient daily range for most boaters.
