As we looked at last year, French startup BlueNav has developed a rather particular kind of hubless marine e-drive with a propeller inspired by whale flippers. But while the company specializes in electric-powered hardware, it's ultimately interested in supporting the development of hybrid boats. Toward that end, it's applied its whale fin drives to the all-new Smart Hybrid Boating Solution, an a
Sharrow Marine has quietly been working to disrupt the marine industry with a reimagined propeller it calls the "future of propulsion." The tech originally looked like it might be too expensive and make/model-specific to see that future to fruition in a substantial way, but Sharrow has now introduced the more affordable, consumer-friendly MX-A. Less than half the price of previous models, the lat
Born from the high-powered world of electric jetboarding, ZeroJet is now channeling all its energy into building performance electric boat drives. Its very first outboard combines drop-and-drive convenience with a superior power-to-weight ratio ready to give small boats a quiet but potent boost.Continue ReadingCategory: Marine, TransportTags: Electric Boats, Outboard Motor, Electric Motors
Torqeedo, a major innovator of all-electric boat motors, is working on a new version of its iconic bright-orange propeller, crafted from 100% recycled plastic. Not only will its future electric marine-drive products eliminate carbon emissions from the air around them, but they'll also reduce the amount of plastics in the world's oceans.Continue ReadingCategory: Marine, TransportTags: torqeedo, Ya
Magonis launched one of the sleekest little electric boats on the water in 2021, an 18-footer (5.5-m) with a speedy look and lightweight vacuum-infused hull construction. At the time, it offered a range of electric outboard options ranging between 4 and 30 kW (5.4 and 40 hp) of power. The Spanish shipyard has now teamed with US powertrain company Flux Marine to equip the Wave e-550 for the power-
Oru Kayak has long offered some of the market's most compact, conveniently portable watercraft. Now the company is expanding the appeal of its lineup by pairing its vessels with an equally compact, portable electric drive system. Teaming up with the folks at Bixpy, it's developed an e-drive solution that travels and mounts easily and provides quiet, range-extending performance with less paddling
Yamaha previously announced it would show its prototype hydrogen-combustion outboard motor at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show, and it's gone the extra mile in bringing a prototype boat and fuel delivery system to go along with it. Yamaha calls its new hydrogen V8 outboard a world first for the recreational boating industry and has partnered up with Roush and Regulator Marine to install it
Yamaha may be the largest, most well-known manufacturer of outboard motors in Japan, but Tohatsu Corporation beat it to market by a couple years back in the mid-20th century to become the country's first outboard producer. Tohatsu remains a venerable force in outboard production today and is now teaming with US-based Ilmor Engineering in developing an entire all-electric outboard family that will
French startup FinX was founded on the idea that the best way to preserve nature is to look to it for inspiration. Toward that end, it's developed an outboard motor that allows boats to move through the water more naturally and efficiently, similar to actual creatures of the sea. It cuts out the basic propeller and replaces it with a fin-like undulating membrane directly inspired dolphins and jel
While other marine companies were using this year's Boat Dusseldorf show to electrify fast, furious water toys of every possible size, Chinese e-drive maker ePropulsion was presenting its smallest, most versatile electric outboard yet. The new eLite outboard weighs less than 15 lb (6.8 kg) and is designed to bring immediate torque and power to small boats and tenders. The plug-and-play drive carr
