This advanced electric outboard motor offers ultimate control and maneuverability on the water. Because the entire underwater motor rotates, you can seamlessly direct the thrust in any desired direction. Ideal for tight marinas, workboats, and challenging weather conditions.
Fully electric drive with open screw (hubless design)
320° turning radius with an integrated electronic steering motor
Available in powerful 11.0 kW and 15.0 kW (48V) versions.
If you're looking for unparalleled precision, the Rim Drive Steerable Outboard an excellent solution. This outboard motor is specifically designed for boats that require precise steering. Unlike traditional motors, only the underwater section of this type turns. The robust superstructure, however, remains firmly in place. This maintains a clear view of the stern and prevents cables from tangling. Also view our other selection of electric outboard motors .
The advanced steering unit has a turning radius of no less than 320 degrees. Because the open propeller can also rotate smoothly in reverse, you can seamlessly direct the power a full 360 degrees. You can easily steer this efficient Rim Drive Steerable Outboard using a joystick or steering wheel. A heavy, maintenance-prone hydraulic steering cylinder is therefore unnecessary, as a compact steering motor is already integrated into the housing.
All essential electronic components are safely integrated into the saltwater-resistant design. An additional major advantage of this drive is its remote support . In practice, this means a service technician can easily access the motor controller. This can be done quickly and securely via a laptop computer located a short distance from the boat. Parameters such as steering response are thus perfectly tailored to the specific characteristics of your vessel.
Within this professional line, you can choose from two reliable 48V models. Both versions are naturally equipped with the unique hubless design. This minimizes the risk of debris or weeds sticking to the reel in shallow waters:
11.0 kW (62 kg): This version is ideal for medium-sized yachts or small ferries. It allows them to navigate smoothly through narrow canals and busy harbors.
15.0 kW (70 kg): Provides extra power for heavier workboats. This is especially important for intensive professional use where a lot of thrust is required.
As you'd expect from our service, we always deliver a customized solution. The options shown are for the outboard motor only. A safe system is highly dependent on your boat and your specific sailing profile. That's why we're happy to combine batteries, wiring, and displays as a single, complete package. Feel free to contact us for a customized proposal.
Rim Drive is a manufacturer dedicated to electric propulsion systems. These systems are specifically designed for the maritime sector. Instead of adapting conventional motor technology, this brand takes a completely different approach. They focus entirely on the shaftless electric motor. This technology offers practical solutions to common problems in recreational and commercial boating.
Rim Drive motors so special is the absence of a central shaft. The propeller blades are directly attached to the magnetic outer ring. This ensures that 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, a Rim Drive exceptionally well in challenging conditions. We offer these motors as a high-quality foundation for your boat within our product range. After all, an optimal and efficient system always depends on your boat. That's why we supply the necessary battery packs and wiring exclusively to size. Finally, feel free contact us for tailored and honest advice.
