ePropulsion - Navy Evo Electric Outboard Motor 6.0

Epropulsion Navy Evo Electric Outboard Motor 6.0

The NAVY 6.0 is a 6kW (~10 HP) electric outboard motor that prioritizes performance and quietness. Its brushless DC motor is strategically placed at the bottom and surrounded by water for efficient and effective cooling. Say goodbye to noisy and high-maintenance gas outboard motors with this gearbox-free design.

• Direct Drive (no gearbox)
• Hydrogeneration
• Essentially maintenance-free

Using the low pitch propeller makes an ideal replacement for high thrust outboards and is capable of moving yachts around 3000kg at their hull speed. The Hydro-generation function is great for sustainable sailing experience.

Build Your Own Navy System

It's easy and flexible to build a Navy electric outboard system that satisfies different needs.

Note:  The standard charger of the E-Series battery is purchased separately. It’s a unified charger that works with E60 and E163. For fast charging, you could use two or more chargers in parallel connection.

FAQs

Can I use E60 to power Navy 6.0 Evo

Yes, but parallel connection is required. To power one Navy 6.0 Evo with E60, you need two E60 batteries in parallel. Or, you'll need to limit the Navy 6.0 power output to 50%.

Officially, we recommend the E60 battery for Navy 3.0 Evo, and E163 battery for Navy 6.0 Evo. 

Can I use third-party batteries to power Navy 3.0 or 6.0 Evo

First, our original E-Series battery has the best unit price on the market, as low as $0.46 per WattHour.

Second, the E-Series battery weighs 70% less than the lead-acid battery with equivalent usable capacity, and costs 50% in five-year use.

Third, because of incompatible communication protocol, when powered by third-party batteries, the ePropulsion motor cannot access real-time battery status and apply the best operation strategy.

Despite all these, if you still prefer third party lithium or lead-acid batteries. The nominal battery voltage should be 48V. The continuous discharge current should be over 62.5A for Navy 3.0 Evo and 125A for Navy 6.0 Evo.

Do I need to charge the Evo top mount control?

The Evo top mount control has a built-in battery and it can be self-powered by its solar panel. When you use it with wireless connection and the control is at low battery level, you could charge the Evo top mount control with a communication cable.

How to find the right shaft length?

See below for transom height and recommended shaft length:

• 30cm - 40cm: Extra Short Shaft*
• 40cm - 50cm: Short Shaft
• 50cm+: Long Shaft

* Extra short shaft is available for Spirit 1.0 series only.

Will Navy 3.0 / 6.0 Evo work for saltwater use?

Yes, it is designed for extensive use in the saltwater. We choose high-quality aluminum alloy as the base material, and apply anodizing coating and powder coating on top of it.
