Pod Drive 6.0 Evo

$3,794.00
The Pod Drive 6.0 Evo is a robust and powerful electric propulsion system equivalent to a 9.9 HP gasoline engine. It is the heavy-duty choice for sailboats and motorboats up to 3 tons that require more thrust and higher speeds. Like the rest of the Evo line, it features a space-saving underwater mount and advanced hydrogeneration technology, allowing you to recharge your batteries while underway.
Product Details

Key Features & New Upgrades

  • Hydrogeneration Power: Designed for sailors, this system automatically recharges your battery bank when the boat is moving under sail at speeds between 4 and 10 knots, effectively turning your motor into a generator.
  • Whisper-Quiet Performance: The direct-drive brushless motor eliminates the clatter and vibration of traditional gearboxes, providing a nearly silent cruising experience.
  • Space-Saving Design: Mounting the propulsion unit beneath the hull frees up valuable interior cabin space typically occupied by a diesel engine, fuel tanks, and exhaust systems.
  • Maintenance-Free Reliability: With no gears, belts, or oil, the Pod 6.0 Evo requires no routine servicing, significantly reducing your long-term cost of ownership.
  • High-Torque Performance: Equipped with a 3-blade aluminum propeller, it provides the necessary torque for displacement hulls and larger boats that need reliable maneuvering in wind and current.
