ePropulsion’s POD Drives are direct-drive, low-maintenance electric motors designed for sailboats and small craft. Compact and space-efficient, they maximise cabin area while delivering a quiet, vibration-free onboard experience. Filling the gap left by sub-10 HP** diesel saildrives, POD Drives provide a powerful and sustainable alternative to traditional outboard motors.
