WaterWorld Pod 8.0 – Powerful and silent pod propulsion
The WaterWorld Pod 8.0 (8.8 kW | 48 V) offers a powerful and virtually silent boating experience thanks to its direct underwater propulsion. This complete kit is available for fixed or steerable mounting and features regeneration capabilities. The system includes a controller, color display, throttle, and ignition switch. Space-saving, efficient, and suitable for larger boats up to 10 meters or 6 tons.
With the WaterWorld Pod 8.0 (8.8 kW), you choose a powerful, whisper-quiet drive that instantly enhances your boating pleasure. Because this robust engine is mounted directly under the hull, you don't lose valuable interior space to an engine block or engine box. Moreover, the drive remains sleek and subtly concealed on the outside, which enhances the lines of your boat. You decide which configuration best suits your situation: we supply the pod in a fixed or steerable version. This allows you to perfectly tailor the installation to your sailing area, the maneuverability you require, and the way you use your boat.
Despite its compact size, this pod delivers serious performance for larger and heavier boats. Below are the key specifications:
Input power: 8.8 kW (comparable to approx. 20-25 hp combustion engine)
Voltage: 48 V
Suitable for: Boats up to approximately 9-10 meters in length or 6 tons of displacement.
Dimensions: 652 x 150 x 288 mm (lxwxh)
Weight: 35 kg
Communication: CANopen
Regeneration: Yes
WaterWorld designed this pod with an advanced hydrodynamic shape. Combined with the relatively large propeller, this ensures extremely efficient power transmission and minimal underwater resistance. In practice, you'll notice this immediately: the boat responds promptly to your commands, and you can control the power with great precision. This provides exceptional control and confidence, especially when cruising gently or maneuvering in the harbor. Moreover, this efficiency allows you to get more cruising hours out of your battery pack. An additional advantage of the Pod 8.0 is its regeneration , allowing you to recover energy while sailing.
Choosing WaterWorld means choosing reliability. The systems are known for their robust build quality and are designed for daily use. The WaterWorld Pod 8.0 is therefore not only ideal for larger sloops and sailboats, but also perfectly suited for workboats or service boats that require consistent heavy-duty performance. Combine the motor with a suitable battery pack and you're guaranteed a long lifespan and a generous range, time after time.
We deliver the WaterWorld Pod 8.0 as a fully integrated system. You'll receive all the essential controls as standard, including a high-quality throttle, ignition switch, and a clear color display. This allows you to always have a clear overview of your speed, fuel consumption, and remaining cruising time. Want even more insight? The optional WaterWorld Dashboard App (iOS) allows you to easily access all vital system information on your phone.
Every boat is unique. Hull shape and weight play a major role in the final performance. Do you have questions about installation or choosing the right battery? Feel free to contact us; we're happy to advise you on the perfect setup for your boat.
