Pod Drive 3.0 Evo

$3,219.00

The Pod Drive 3.0 Evo is a whisper-quiet, space-saving electric propulsion system equivalent to a 6 HP gasoline engine. Designed for sailboats and small watercraft, this direct-drive motor is mounted underwater to maximize cabin space and eliminate the noise and vibration of a traditional gearbox. As part of the Evo series, it features advanced hydrogeneration technology to recharge your batteries while sailing.
Product Details

Key Features & New Upgrades

  • Hydrogeneration Capacity: This standout feature allows the motor to recharge your battery using the natural flow of water while the boat is under sail (typically between 4 and 10 knots).
  • Maintenance-Free Direct Drive: The brushless DC motor has no internal gears or belts, ensuring an incredibly quiet experience and zero routine servicing beyond checking anodes.
  • Space-Efficient Mounting: By moving the propulsion unit outside the hull, you eliminate the need for an engine room, freeing up significant storage or living space.
  • Digital Operation: Fully compatible with Evo-series controls, featuring electric start, a magnetic kill switch, and a clear digital display for real-time range and battery monitoring.
  • Eco-Friendly Performance: Operates with zero emissions and no onboard fuel storage, making it a cleaner and smarter alternative to small diesel saildrives.

  • Input Power: 3 kW (Equivalent to 6 HP)
  • Input Voltage: 39 V – 60 V (Optimized for 48V systems)
  • Static Thrust: 570 N / 128 lbs
