French startup FinX was founded on the idea that the best way to preserve nature is to look to it for inspiration. Toward that end, it’s developed an outboard motor that allows boats to move through the water more naturally and efficiently, similar to … Continue reading Biomimetic electric outboard ditches propeller for fin-driven thrust
While other marine companies were using this year’s Boat Dusseldorf show to electrify fast, furious water toys of every possible size, Chinese e-drive maker ePropulsion was presenting its smallest, most versatile electric outboard yet. The new eLite ou… Continue reading Portable, blade-like electric outboard simplifies clean, quiet boating
A year ago at CES 2023, Mercury Marine presented its first electric outboard ever, the Avator 7.5e. For this year’s show, it cranked up the power to present the highest output models of the all-electric Avator lineup. Both new outboards more than doubl… Continue reading Mercury introduces its most powerful electric outboard motors yet
Yamaha Motor has already pushed to the front of the pack in developing hydrogen engines for automobiles and off-highway off-roaders, and now it’s looking to launch its hydrogen-combustion program into the water. A potentially critical piece of its grea… Continue reading Yamaha hydrogen combustion outboard brings more clean H2 to boating
Norwegian electric marine drive startup Evoy previously presented the world’s most powerful electric outboard motor. At the time, it said even more power was on the way, and it’s made good on the promise. The all-new Storm 300+ is a big, brawny outboar… Continue reading Evoy raises the bar on world’s most powerful electric outboard motor
Mercury Marine has announced its first electric outboard motor at CES 2023.

British modular electric drive specialist Saietta Group is preparing to launch its first electric outboard motor for boats and other watercraft. A year after spinning off the Propel marine division, it’s readying the Red-Dot-winning S1 electric outboar… Continue reading Pancake-motored electric outboard to power e-boats of the future
Back in May, Vision Marine Technologies opened reservations for its all-electric E-Motion 180E outboard, offering boaters the opportunity to equip their vessels with a cleaner, quieter breed of propulsion. Not only is the 180E the world’s most powerful electric outboard, but it could soon become the world’s fastest. Vision has teamed up with Hellkats Powerboats in an effort to push the all-out electric boat world speed record up over 100 mph (161 km/h).

It might be a 90-pound weakling next to the biggest and baddest of the combustion world, but Evoy’s new zero-emissions electric outboard motor and powertrain solution will put it at the pointy end of the all-electric market.Continue ReadingCategory: Ma… Continue reading Evoy launches the world’s most powerful electric outboard motor
Clamped or bolted to the stern of the boat, outboard motors offer a very easy and (relatively) economical way of powering small craft. The vast majority of these outboards are gasoline powered, with electric models generally limited to so-called “trolling motors” which are often used to move slowly and quietly during fishing. That might be fine for most people, but not [Olly Epsom].
An engineer focusing on renewable energy by profession, [Olly] wanted to equip his small inflatable dinghy with a suitably powerful “green” propulsion system. Deciding nothing on the market quite met his requirements, especially for what manufacturers were …read more
