aquawatt green power electric outboard motor
Aquawatt offers the world’s most unique high powered electric outboard to date. It’s the state-of-the-art green electric outboard motor that has long been awaited for and is now ready and available. At first glance, the exterior dimensions and housing look just like a petrol outboard motor, with either tiller or remote control features. However, no petrol smell or loud noise without the compromise of speed. It’s not a trolling motor like you know it from other manufactures!
Green, practical and intelligence!
Its distinctive and intelligent power management system recognises which type of vessel is being used and adapts for optimal and maximum performance. The performance and thrust is equivalent to a 15 HP four-stroke long-shaft outboard motor. Our electric outboard motor was designed and developed for the use on lakes and rivers. It can also be used in saltwater, using a zinc anode, which is available.
The connection points are the same as the standard outboards on the market, making it very desirable using your old set up either way. We are very proud that our electric outboard motor differentiates widely from other electric outboards, using a common chassis with parts available worldwide. This makes it attractive for the professional use.
The all-in-one principle
Our 10/ 13 kW ( 14 – 18 hp) electric outboard motor can also be delivered with reduced power output, (4 or 6 kW) for areas with restrictions.
You can use the Aquawatt green power electric outboard in two different battery set-ups. For a displacement boat, preferable a rather long hull form, the use of AGM (absorbent glass mat) batteries are recommended and is also the cost efficient alternative. This set-up requires four AGM batteries of 12 volts, as the motor runs on 48 volts and weighs approximately 250 – 300 kg (550 – 660 lb.). With this particular set-up and type of boat, speeds up to 10 knots are achievable.
The other alternative uses very light lithium batteries. This is an excellent choice for light planning or inflatable boats (RIBs). Speeds up to 20 knots are achievable using our revolutionary portable lithium battery pack (in store June 2010), which is extremely light weight and durable! With the use of the aquawatt lithium power battery, 13 kW instead of 10 kW of power are provided. We also offer a wide variety of set-up solutions and accessories including chargers, propellers, etc.
The 10 / 13 kW all-in-one green electric outboard solution
The aquawatt 10 kW electric outboard motor comes standard with a 10 kW output on the propeller shaft. The output can be reduced to either 4 or 6 kW. (optional)

* A 6,5 m (21 ft.) wooden fishing boat was used as a test boat. Weight with batteries and skipper approx. 900 kg (1984 lb.)
** A 4 metre RIB was used as a test boat with 50V 160 Ah lithium power battery.
You can choose between two different versions – remote controlled- or tiller steering.
The execution for remote steering is ready for the use of all standard out board remote controls with type C2 cables for throttle and gear (i.e. Yamaha). For steering, most common cable steering systems can be used like ABYC P17 standard.
The execution for tiller handle steering is ready to use and absolute the same as any common petrol out boarder engine.
