Inboard

THREE POWER LEVELS, ONE SYSTEM

A powerful and quiet electric shaft drive, from tender to commercial vessel. Available as 4.0i, 10.0i and 20.0i, for new builds, retrofits and hybrid setups.

Why the Inboard

Power that runs cool and quiet.

Air cooled propulsion with none of the maintenance a diesel demands. Precise control in tight spaces, near silence for crew and passengers.

Proven and robust

A direct shaft drive that keeps running, season after season.

Worry-free

Air cooled, so nothing can clog or freeze. Less servicing, more time on the water.

Charge while you sail

Your motor charges the batteries under sail, for more range on every trip.
