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 is the economical 'Entry Level' version. You control this variant simply via a traditional steering cable. In contrast, the 'Normal' version comes standard with an advanced, integrated steering motor. You 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 displayed in our shop consist exclusively of the motor alone. Efficient operation naturally always depends heavily on your boat. Therefore, we are happy to assemble battery packs and control systems as a single custom package. Finally, please feel free to contact us for no-obligation 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.
