With an impressive cruising time of up to 15 hours and a top speed of 12 km/h, this boat is perfect for those who want to sail with complete peace of mind.
It takes 6 hours to fully charge from 0% to 100%.
The motor absorbs vibrations, noise and resonances.
The charge cycles is 3000+ with a 20.8 kwh battery.
– 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 11.0 offers a high level of control at low speed. This is especially important when docking, turning and navigating in limited space. The motor responds directly to your steering movements. As a result, the boat remains predictable, even in wind or current.
With 156 kg of thrust, you have plenty of power reserve on board. This gives confidence under heavier loads or more intensive use. Rim Drive technology ensures quiet and efficient propulsion. You sail without exhaust gases, oil or disturbing vibrations.
The motor has few moving parts. As a result, wear is limited and less maintenance is required. This POD motor is also saltwater resistant and suitable for daily use. This makes the Entry Level Steerable POD 11.0 a cost-effective solution. The motor controller is supplied as standard.
This electric POD motor is a good fit for larger sloops, tenders, sailing boats and light workboats. This model is also interesting for tour boats, rental boats and service vessels. You gain powerful support without a complex propulsion system.
The Entry Level Steerable POD 11.0 is suitable for refit and new-build projects. On existing boats, you replace the old rudder solution with a modern POD drive. For new builds, the motor can be included directly in the design.
Looking for POD motors for a project where power and control come together? Then the 11.0 offers a reliable foundation.
The installation is designed for neat and practical integration. You replace the existing rudder and seal. Then you install the motor through the opening. After that, you attach the rudder arm to the steering system.
The extra seal helps keep the boat watertight. The motor connects to standard steering cylinders and steering cables. This makes it a good fit for many existing systems. It also makes this steerable POD motor suitable for an efficient upgrade.
With this electric POD motor, you choose clean boating with less impact. You sail without exhaust gases on the water. You also prevent oil leakage, because the motor does not use oil.
Rim Drive Technology develops and produces in the Netherlands. The propulsion systems are designed for efficiency, comfort and long-term use. With this Rim Drive POD, you invest in strong performance and a quieter boating experience.
Do you want to manoeuvre your boat more powerfully and precisely with an electric POD motor? The Entry Level Steerable POD 11.0 offers thrust, control and easy integration. Request a free quote today. We are happy to advise you on the current price.
