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 15.0 offers strong thrust at low speed. This is important when docking, turning and manoeuvring a larger boat. The motor responds precisely to your steering movements. This helps you stay in control in harbours, near jetties and on narrow waterways.
With 195 kg of thrust, this POD motor has plenty of power in reserve. This gives confidence in wind, current or with extra weight on board. Rim Drive technology ensures quiet and smooth propulsion. You sail without exhaust gases, oil or disturbing vibrations.
The motor has few moving parts. As a result, wear is limited and the system requires less maintenance. This makes the Entry Level Steerable POD 15.0 a cost-effective solution for intensive use. The steerable POD motor is also saltwater resistant. The motor controller is supplied as standard. This gives you a complete foundation for reliable electric propulsion.
This electric POD motor is a good fit for larger sloops, tenders, sailing boats and light workboats. This model is also interesting for rental boats, tour boats and service vessels. You get powerful manoeuvrability without a heavy or complex system.
The Entry Level Steerable POD 15.0 is suitable for new-build and refit projects. On existing boats, the old rudder solution can be replaced with a modern POD drive. For new vessels, the motor can be included directly in the design.
Looking for POD motors for a custom project? Then the 15.0 offers a powerful foundation with many possible applications.
The installation of the Entry Level Steerable POD 15.0 is designed for 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 integration with many existing systems possible. It also makes this steerable POD motor suitable for an efficient upgrade.
With this electric POD motor, you choose powerful propulsion without emissions on the water. You also prevent oil leakage, because the motor does not use oil. This makes the propulsion cleaner and more pleasant for the surrounding environment.
Rim Drive Technology develops and produces in the Netherlands. The systems are designed for efficiency, reliability and long-term use. With this Rim Drive POD, you choose modern technology and comfortable electric boating.
Do you want to manoeuvre your boat powerfully and precisely with an electric POD motor? The Entry Level Steerable POD 15.0 offers thrust, control and easy integration. Request a free quote today. We are happy to advise you on the current price.
