– 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 biggest benefit of the Entry Level Steerable POD 8.0 is the combination of power and control. The motor responds directly to your steering movements. This allows you to manoeuvre accurately when docking, turning and sailing in busy areas.
The 120 kg of thrust gives you extra confidence during daily use. This is useful for larger sloops, heavier tenders and light workboats. Even when the boat is fully loaded, the propulsion remains easy to control.
The rim drive design ensures quiet and efficient performance. 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. That makes the Entry Level Steerable POD 8.0 a cost-effective solution for daily use. This POD motor is also saltwater resistant and suitable for intensive use.
This electric POD motor is a good fit for boats where power and manoeuvrability are both important. Think of larger sloops, tenders, sailing boats, light workboats and recreational vessels. This entry-level model can also be interesting for rental fleets.
The POD drive supports controlled sailing at low speed. This is useful in harbours, near jetties and on narrow waterways. Looking for POD motors for a refit or custom project? Then the 8.0 offers a powerful foundation with many possible applications.
The Entry Level Steerable POD 8.0 is designed for easy integration. During a refit, you replace the existing rudder and seal. Then you install the motor through the opening and 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 suitable for many existing systems. The motor controller is supplied as standard. In many situations, installation is possible within one day.
