Are you looking for an efficient and unobtrusive propulsion system? The Rim Drive Fixed POD is an extremely simplified, fully electric underwater motor. You simply install this fixed model directly under the hull. This saves a huge amount of space and provides unprecedented tranquility on board. Furthermore, thanks to the unique shaftless design, you will have virtually no trouble with snagged aquatic plants.
Simplified and highly efficient engine design.
Fully electric drive with open propeller.
Immediately available in variants from 0.5 kW to 25.0 kW.
Heavy-duty models (30 kW to 75 kW) are available on request.
If you are looking for an efficient installation solution, this electric underwater motor is an excellent choice. This type of motor is installed directly under the hull of your ship. As a result, you save a tremendous amount of valuable space on board. Moreover, this underwater mounting automatically ensures perfect and continuous cooling of the system. Please also take a look at our other range of electric marine motors.
According to the designers, this is simply the most simplified motor design ever created. Simplicity, however, does not mean a compromise on power. What makes this Rim Drive Fixed POD so unique is the absence of a central shaft. Because the propeller blades are attached directly to the outer ring, an open center section is created. This allows aquatic plants, ropes, and other debris to easily wash out.
The vast majority of waterborne applications don't require extreme top speeds. What is generally important, however, is high efficiency at cruising speed. This guarantees a full day of cruising fun on a single battery charge. Up to average speeds, this type of drive is therefore the most efficient solution on the market.

The housing of this fixed underwater motor is exceptionally compact. It requires no complex transmissions or rotating gears. This significantly minimizes the risk of mechanical wear. As a result, the Rim Drive Fixed POD virtually maintenance-free. This makes the system perfect for intensive rental or daily use, for example.
There's a suitable model for every boat. Choose directly from reliable models ranging from 0.5 kW to 25.0 kW. Looking for a more powerful model for commercial use? We supply the largest models (up to 75.0 kW) only upon request.
Please note that the variants shown only concern the motor alone. After all, an efficient system always depends on your boat and requirements. Therefore, we are happy to assemble battery packs, cabling, and controls as a custom package. Finally, please feel free to contact us for tailored advice.
Rim Drive Technology is a manufacturer fully focused on electric propulsion. Moreover, these systems are specifically designed for the maritime sector. Instead of adapting conventional engine technologies, this brand chooses a completely different approach. They focus entirely on the shaftless electric motor. As a result, this technology offers practical solutions for common problems in recreational and commercial boating.
motors Rim Drive Technology so special is the absence of a central shaft. The propeller blades are directly attached to the magnetic outer ring. As a result, the center of the propeller always remains open.
This so-called "hubless" design also offers a huge practical advantage. Because there's no axle, aquatic plants and ropes are washed away much more easily. Furthermore, the drive consists of only one moving part. This minimizes mechanical wear and tear, making the system virtually maintenance-free.
Besides its clever mechanical design, this brand distinguishes itself through advanced control technology. The engines are controlled by extremely intelligent motor controllers, allowing you to fine-tune the engine response to your specific vessel. These electronics also offer the convenient option of remote support, allowing a service technician to easily access engine readouts from a laptop.
The brand offers reliable solutions for a wide range of boat types. Power outputs range from compact 0.5 kW models to robust 75 kW systems. The product range can be broadly divided into three categories:
Outboards: Complete outboard motors with tiller steering or for fixed mounting.
Fixed POD motors: Compact underwater motors that you mount directly and inconspicuously under the hull.
Steerable PODs: Innovative underwater motors that can rotate up to 320 degrees on their axis.
Thanks to the open propeller and saltwater-resistant design, Rim Drive Technology excellently in challenging conditions. Within our range, we offer these motors as a high-quality foundation for your vessel. After all, an optimal and efficient system always depends on your boat. Therefore, we supply the necessary battery packs and cabling exclusively custom-made. Finally, please feel free to contact us for appropriate and honest advice.
