ePropulsion Electric Pod Drive eSSA 20kW / 27HP Description:

Introducing Pod Drive eSSA

A Pod Drive eSSA motor opens up new design possibilities for naval architects, setting a fresh standard in marine innovation. It elevates any vessel, bringing onboard a new level of luxury and sophistication

Exceptional Reliability

Engineered for durability, designed for the demands of constant saltwater
exposure, the electric Pod Drive is crafted from marine-grade, high-strength
aluminum alloy for exceptional impact resistance and durability. Rigorously tested to withstand harsh marine conditions, its self-cooling design naturally disperses heat through water submersion, removing the need for cooling channels and frequent impeller changes—delivering dependable, low-maintenance performance you can trust in any environment

 

Hydrogeneration

Equipped with a hydrogeneration function as standard, Pod Drive eSSA can charge your batteries when sailing.

Space Saving

The electric Pod Drive redefines onboard space, combining the motor, propeller, and cooling system into one sleek, compact unit that mounts beneath the hull. By eliminating the need for bulky inboard engines and complex shaft lines, it frees up valuable interior space, allowing for more passenger comfort, added amenities, or increased storage. This innovation lets you reimagine the possibilities onboard, enhancing both design flexibility and luxury.

Effortless Installation and Versatile Mounting

The electric Pod Drive is designed for ultimate flexibility, featuring straightforward installation and versatile mounting options compatible with various vessel types. It easily fits onto any Volvo or Yanmar sail drive mounting, saving time and ensuring a seamless integration—ideal for elevating any design with minimal effort.
