ePropulsion Navy 3.0 EVO 6HP

The ePropulsion Navy 3.0 Evo is a robust and powerful 3kW electric outboard designed for heavier tasks, including aluminum fishing boats, dinghies, daysailers, and cruising sailboats up to 3 tons. It serves as a direct, clean alternative to a 6 HP gasoline outboard.

Unlike the smaller portable units, the Navy 3.0 Evo is a 48V system designed to work with high-capacity external batteries (such as the ePropulsion E-Series). It stands out with its industry-leading hydrogeneration capability, allowing sailboats to recharge their batteries while sailing under wind power.

Key Features & Benefits

• 6HP Equivalent Power: Delivers 3kW of propulsive power, providing strong thrust for heavier loads or higher speeds compared to portable models.
• Hydrogeneration: The industry-first functionality that allows the motor to charge its own battery when the boat is sailing (towed by wind) at speeds between 4 and 10 knots.
• Flexible Control Options: Compatible with multiple control styles to suit your boat, including a Tiller Handle, Side Mount Control, or Top Mount Control (dual controls also available).
• External 48V Battery System: Designed to pair with the ePropulsion E-Series batteries (E40, E80, or E175) for massive capacity and all-day range.
• Silent Operation: Direct-drive technology ensures the motor runs quietly, making it perfect for fishing or enjoying nature without engine noise.
• Maintenance-Free: No gears, no oil changes, and no winterization required.
• Safety Wristband: Compatible with the wireless safety wristband, which instantly kills the motor if you fall overboard (man-overboard protection).

Shaft Sizing Guide

The Navy 3.0 Evo is available in two fixed shaft lengths. Correct sizing is critical for performance and efficiency.

• Short Shaft (S): Shaft length 25.0" (63.5 cm) — For transom height between 15" - 20" (38-51 cm)
• Long Shaft (L): Shaft length 29.8" (75.9 cm) — For transom height over 20" (51 cm)Sizing Tip: Because the Navy 3.0 is more powerful, the anti-ventilation plate should sit slightly lower than on smaller motors. Measure carefully.

Performance Estimates

Based on a 12ft aluminum boat with one person and one E80 Battery (4096Wh) in calm water.

• Full Power (3000W): Approx. 10.2 mph (16.4 kph) | 1 hr 20 mins runtime | 13.7 miles range
• Cruising Power (1500W): Approx. 8.0 mph (13 kph) | 2 hrs 40 mins runtime | 21.7 miles range
• Economical Speed (500W): Approx. 5.6 mph (9 kph) | 8 hrs runtime | 45 miles range
