ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo (2024) NE-6000-S1 - Short shaft

The ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo (2024) electric outboard motor delivers an input power of 6 kW. This is equivalent to a propulsion power of 9.9 hp.

The Navy 6.0 Evo (2024) is direct-drive brushless. The manual lists 1700 rpm and a maximum overall efficiency of 48 %. The parts sheet gives a static thrust of 1000 N; its "Efficiency 84%" value must not be presented as the overall efficiency.

For this short-shaft version of 616 mm, the manual recommends a transom height of 400 to 500 mm. Propulsion sizing must also account for the hull, load, and sailing conditions; the boat’s mass alone is not sufficient.

The Navy 6.0 Evo engine (2024) has a nominal voltage of 48 Vdc and an input voltage range from 39 to 60 Vdc.

Yes, only with a ePropulsion battery and the prescribed connections. The manual requires a neutral command, battery charge below 90 %, and a stabilized speed above 6 km/h for 4 seconds. Hydrogeneration stops notably above 45 km/h.

The engine offers manual trim angles of 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, as well as shallow-water navigation angles of 35°, 50°, 65°. The manual tilt angle is 80°.

The recommended ambient temperature for operation and storage of the engine is -10°C to 45°C.

The NE-LU01-U0 composite propeller is supplied; the manual specifies a diameter of 11.3 inches and a pitch of 8.5 inches. For an optional propeller, verify the reference and engine version: the dimensions of a former Navy propeller are not sufficient proof of compatibility.

To mount the engine, first choose the appropriate mounting position on the transom. The short-shaft model (S) is suitable for transom heights between 400 mm and 500 mm. Then follow the specific instructions in the manual to securely fasten the engine.

Connecting the battery requires following the steps described in the user manual. It is critical to avoid battery short circuits during connection and to ensure that the main switch is installed on the boat and its rear plate has not been removed.

The manual allows parallel connection of identical batteries, using the prescribed cables. They must be the same model, capacity, age, and manufacturer. Do not mix old and new generations of E60 or E163; validate the configuration against the battery’s instructions.

It is imperative to avoid any short-circuit of the battery during connection. Additionally, the main switch must not be short-circuited with other power sources and must be securely mounted on the boat without its rear plate being removed.

The Navy 6.0 Evo engine (2024) is compatible with several ePropulsion control systems, including the remote control Evo, tiller pilot Evo, side control Evo, and dual remote control Evo.

The manual specifies lead-acid or lithium batteries meeting the nominal 48 V voltage, the 39 to 60 V input range, and the motor’s discharge requirements. Configure third-party battery settings in the Evo command. Hydrogeneration requires a ePropulsion battery.

ePropulsion may refuse a warranty claim if an incorrect operation contradicts what is written in the user manual. It is therefore essential to always follow the manual’s instructions.

The Navy 6.0 Evo electric outboard motor (2024) complies with ISO 16315:2016 standards.
