Want maximum control over your boat? The Rim Drive Steerable POD is a highly innovative, swiveling underwater motor. It offers unparalleled maneuverability. Because the system can rotate up to 320 degrees, maneuvering is child's play.
Fully electric drive with open propeller.
Choice of 'Entry Level' (steering cable) or 'Normal' (electrically controlled).
Immediately available in variants from 2.5 kW to 25.0 kW.
Heavy duty commercial models (30 kW to 75 kW) are available on request.
If you're looking for perfect maneuverability, this swiveling underwater motor is a fantastic choice. This electric motor is installed directly beneath the bottom of your hull. At the same time, the underwater unit can rotate smoothly on its own axis. This allows you to always direct the thrust in exactly the right direction. Also check out our other steerable pods .
What makes this system truly special is its impressive rotation. The unit can rotate up to an impressive 320 degrees. This means 160 degrees in either direction. This allows you to enjoy zero-turn steering on the water. Maneuvering in tight marinas or strong winds becomes considerably easier. You can also accelerate from a standstill to full speed in 1.5 seconds.
for this efficient Rim Drive Steerable POD . First, there's the affordable "Entry Level" model. This version is steered simply via a traditional steering cable. Conversely, the "Normal" model comes standard with an advanced, integrated steering motor. You can then operate this model effortlessly via a joystick or electronic steering wheel.
Another major advantage is the extremely robust and waterproof housing. The motor has been officially certified IP68. This is achieved by fully encapsulating the internal components. Furthermore, there's no central shaft in the middle of the propeller, so unwanted aquatic plants are easily washed out. Moreover, with this drive, you'll sail in near-silence.
Within our online range, you can choose directly from capacities ranging from 2.5 kW to 25.0 kW. For larger, commercial vessels, we also offer robust models ranging from 30.0 kW to 75.0 kW. However, these extremely heavy-duty engines are only available upon request.
The models shown in our shop are exclusively for individual motors. Efficient operation is, of course, always highly dependent on your boat. Therefore, we are happy to customize battery packs and control systems as a single package. Feel free to contact us for a free consultation.
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.
