Detailed description

Designed for dinghies, tenders, and sailboats, the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus 1 kW electric outboard motor with an extra-short 52.5 cm shaft offers a silent and clean alternative to combustion engines. It delivers 1 kW of power, equivalent to a 3 HP combustion engine, thanks to its direct-drive brushless DC motor, ensuring a maximum overall efficiency of 55% and a nominal rotation speed of 1200 rpm.

Integrated battery and range

The Spirit 1.0 Plus is equipped with the Spirit Battery Plus, an integrated lithium-ion polymer battery with a capacity of 1276 Wh (28 Ah) and a nominal voltage of 48 V. This battery has positive buoyancy, ensuring it can be retrieved if dropped in water. It provides over 5 hours of range at cruising speed and up to 1 hour 15 minutes at full throttle (approximately 10 km/h), for a range of about 12.5 km. The charging time is 8.5 hours with a standard charger and 3.5 hours with a fast charger. The battery lifespan is 500 cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DOD). Its weight is 8.7 kg.

Design and features

The extra-short 52.5 cm (20.7 in) shaft is recommended for transoms with a height between 30 cm and 40 cm. The motor, without the battery, weighs 10.4 kg for this XS version, bringing the total weight with battery to approximately 19.1 kg. Portability is optimized with a foldable tiller handle. A digital display integrated into the tiller provides real-time information on power, remaining range, and battery voltage. The control system offers progressive speed control and an ambidextrous design. Trim angles are manually adjustable at 0°, 7°, 14°, and 21°, and the tilt angle is 70°. The motor is equipped with a two-blade composite propeller 11' × 5.8'.

Safety and maintenance

Safety is enhanced by a magnetic kill switch that stops the motor in an emergency, complementing the battery’s floating design. The electrical connector ensures increased durability and resistance to corrosion in marine environments. The brushless motor and the absence of a gearbox significantly reduce maintenance requirements. This motor is also compatible with solar charging up to 180 W, even while in operation, and can be connected to external ePropulsion E-Series LFP 48 V batteries for extended range. The operating temperature range is -10°C to 45°C.

Expert opinion

« Spirit 1.0 Plus: compact electric motor for tenders and small sailboats »

The ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor, with its extra-short 52.5 cm shaft, is a relevant propulsion solution for dinghies, small sailboats, or fishing boats with a transom height between 30 and 40 cm. Its integrated design, combining a 1 kW motor and a 1276 Wh lithium-ion battery, simplifies installation and reduces onboard space requirements, eliminating the need for fuel tanks and complex wiring.

The battery’s positive buoyancy is a major safety asset, preventing power loss in case of immersion. The magnetic kill switch is another essential safety feature for operator protection. The integration of a display screen on the tiller allows instant monitoring of critical parameters such as remaining range, which is crucial for trip planning. For users looking to extend their range, compatibility with external ePropulsion E-Series 48 V batteries offers appreciable modularity without compromising installation simplicity. Finally, the ability to recharge via solar panels up to 180 W, even during use, enables optimized energy management for extended cruising or in remote areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the power output of the Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor?

The ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor has an input power of 1 kW. It is equivalent to a 3 hp (horsepower) thermal engine.

What is the battery autonomy of the Spirit 1.0 Plus?

The integrated Spirit Battery Plus battery provides over 5 hours of range at cruising speed. At full speed (approximately 10 km/h), the range is about 1 hour and 15 minutes, allowing a distance of approximately 12.5 km.

What are the specifications of the Spirit Battery Plus battery supplied with the motor?

The Spirit Battery Plus is a lithium-ion polymer battery with a capacity of 1276 Wh (28 Ah) and a nominal voltage of 48 V. It is designed to be floatable, making recovery easier in the event of a water entry.

How long does it take to recharge the Spirit 1.0 Plus battery?

The Spirit Battery Plus battery takes 8.5 hours to charge with a standard charger. If you use a fast charger, the charging time is reduced to 3.5 hours.

What is the total weight of the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor with its battery?

The Spirit 1.0 Plus motor (extra-short shaft version) weighs 10.4 kg without the battery. The Spirit Battery Plus battery weighs 8.7 kg. The total weight of the assembly (motor and battery) is therefore approximately 19.1 kg.

What is the shaft length of the Spirit 1.0 Plus model?

This specific Spirit 1.0 Plus motor model features an extra-short shaft, measuring 525 mm (52.5 cm or 20.7 in).

Does the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor require any special maintenance after use in salt water?

Yes, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the outboard motor after each use in salt water to ensure its longevity and proper operation.

How to adjust the trim angle of the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor?

The trim angle of the Spirit 1.0 Plus engine can be adjusted manually. The available angles are 0°, 7°, 14° and 21°. It is important not to adjust the tilt setting while the propeller is rotating.

How to install the engine on the boat's transom?

Installation involves mounting the engine on the transom. The outboard motor’s mounting height is critical because it seriously affects operating speed. A mounting height that is too high can cause ventilation and power loss, while a mounting height that is too low increases water resistance and reduces efficiency.

Does the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor have a lifting function?

Yes, the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor has a manual tilt function with a tilt angle of 70°. To tilt the motor, pull the tilt unlock lever upwards and tilt the outboard motor to the 70° position. It is also possible to activate an anti-grounding mode.

Are there any important safety precautions to take before starting the engine?

Yes, before each use, ensure you check the outboard motor’s condition and the battery’s charge level. It is also crucial to always attach the lanyard of the kill cord (engine cut-off switch) to your wrist or your lifejacket/buoyancy aid. The motor will stop in an emergency if you fall overboard.
