– Our interface standards are fully compatible with steering cylinders and steering cables. (Two different systems are compatible)
– The Entry Level Steerable POD is controlled via a simple and reliable control cable, offering precise and smooth steering for seamless navigation.
– Watertightness is guaranteed by effective sealing mechanism.
The Entry Level Steerable POD 5.0 gives you a high level of control at low speeds. This is especially useful when docking, turning and manoeuvring in harbours. The motor responds directly to your steering movements. As a result, the boat feels predictable and stable.
With 62 kg of thrust, this POD motor has enough power for various boating situations. You benefit from smooth acceleration, quiet operation and fewer vibrations on board. The rim drive design helps transfer power to the water efficiently.
The motor uses no oil and has few moving parts. This keeps maintenance limited. That makes the Entry Level Steerable POD 5.0 a cost-effective solution for daily use. The construction is also saltwater resistant. This makes the motor suitable for recreational and professional use.
This electric POD motor is a good fit for sloops, tenders, sailing boats and compact workboats. This model is also interesting for boats that often sail in harbours or busy waterways. You gain more control without a large or complex propulsion system.
The Entry Level Steerable POD 5.0 is also suitable for rental fleets and refit projects. On existing boats, the old rudder solution can be replaced with a modern POD drive. For new builds, the model offers an efficient foundation for electric boating.
Looking for POD motors for a custom project? Then the 5.0 is a versatile choice with reliable performance.
The installation of the Entry Level Steerable POD 5.0 is designed for practical placement. You replace the existing rudder and seal. Then you install the motor through the opening and attach the rudder arm to the current steering system.
The extra seal helps keep the boat watertight. The motor is compatible with standard steering cylinders and steering cables. This allows it to connect well with many existing systems. The motor controller is supplied as standard, giving you a complete foundation for integration.
