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. Designed to be mounted to tenders, micro-skiffs, rigid inflatables and kayaks, the Avator 7.5e “delivers reliable, quiet power to get you where you’re going” and features a swa… Continue reading Mercury’s Avator electric outboard extends range with hotswap batteries
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
It’s probably a dream common to many groups of friends among the Hackaday readership: go away together to a sunny island some time in the summer, take a load of beer and maybe a BBQ, and build something. Some of us get close to it at hacker camps such as Toorcamp or EMF, but few do it as well as [KristianKalm] and his friends. Their time on an island resulted in a boat, and what a boat it is!
To be fair, this is not a craft you’d sail the high seas in, its unique hull design rendered in single-skin …read more
