Key Features & New Upgrades

  • eSSA Smart Integration: The new architecture allows for seamless communication between the pod, the battery system, and the controllers. This ensures faster system response and more accurate data monitoring.
  • Space-Saving Design: Since the motor is mounted underwater, it eliminates the need for an engine room, freeing up significant cabin space for storage or living area.
  • Maintenance-Free: The direct-drive brushless motor has no moving parts like gears or belts, resulting in whisper-quiet operation and zero routine servicing.
  • Hydrogeneration: Ideal for sailors, the motor can recharge your batteries while the boat is under sail at speeds between 4 and 10 knots.
  • Modular Scalability: The eSSA system supports multiple pod drives working in sync and up to 16 batteries in parallel for massive range and power.
