ePropulsion's POD Drives are direct-drive, low-maintenance electric motors ideal for sailboats and small crafts. Designed to be space-efficient, they help maximise your cabin area while ensuring a noise-free onboard experience. Filling a market gap for sub-10HP diesel saildrives, our POD Drives offer a compelling alternative to traditional outboard motors.
