Electric outboard motor Navy 3.0 Evo 3 kW, long shaft 75.9 cm, motor only

3 kW input, at 48 V. ePropulsion rates it as equivalent to a 6 HP thermal engine.

The long shaft measures 759 mm (29.9 inches). It is suitable for transoms over 500 mm; for a transom between 400 and 500 mm, the manual recommends the Navy 3.0 Evo short-shaft version (634 mm).

The weight of this Navy 3.0 Evo long-shaft electric outboard motor is 27.5 kg.

ePropulsion targets dinghies, dinghy keelboats, aluminum fishing boats, and small RIBs. The choice also depends on the transom height (over 500 mm for the long shaft) and the maximum power allowed by the boat manufacturer, which the manual requires to be respected.

Yes, but only with an ePropulsion battery (connected via the communication cable for an E-series battery). Charging starts when the throttle is in neutral, the battery charge is below 90%, and the boat exceeds 6 km/h steadily for 4 seconds. It stops above 40 km/h or when the battery charge exceeds 90%. The function is enabled by default and can be disabled from the Evo remote.

A two-blade composite propeller measuring 10.2 × 6.7 inches, factory-mounted. The same propeller is available as a spare part (reference N3-LU05-00).

The nominal rotation speed of the Navy 3.0 Evo electric outboard motor is 2300 RPM.

The recommended operating ambient temperature range for the Navy 3.0 Evo engine is -10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F).

This motor requires a nominal voltage of 48 V. The accepted input voltage range is 39 V to 60 V DC.

The motor is supplied without a control unit. It is operated using one of ePropulsion's Evo controls:

the Evo tiller, which also handles steering;the Evo remote control, requiring a steering wheel to be fitted;the Evo side control;the Evo dual control.

Yes. The manual accepts a 48 V lithium or lead-acid battery (traction, AGM, or gel; no starter battery) capable of supplying at least 62.5 A continuously. On first connection, set the battery type, cutoff voltage, and capacity from the Evo control unit. Hydrogeneration is reserved for ePropulsion batteries.

To configure the engine with different battery types (lead-acid, lithium, LiFePO4), follow these steps via the remote control or the Evo tiller pilot:

Turn on the main switch and the Evo control. Simultaneously press the "M" and "OK" buttons to access the battery settings page. Use the "OK" and "^" buttons to set the nominal voltage. Press the "OK" button to toggle between battery types: Pb (lead-acid), Li (lithium), and Lfe (lithium iron phosphate). Use the "OK" and "^" buttons to set the battery cutoff voltage. Use the "OK" and "^" buttons to set the battery capacity in Ah. If the capacity is given in Wh, use the formula: Capacity in Ah = Capacity in Wh / Nominal voltage in V.

The dimensions (length × width × height) of the Navy 3.0 Evo outboard motor with long shaft are 437 × 314 × 1174 mm (17.2 × 10.7 × 46.2 inches).

More than 500 mm. Between 400 and 500 mm, the manual recommends the short shaft version. The top of the propeller must be 100 to 150 mm below the waterline: too high, the propeller cavitates; too low, drag reduces speed.

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

The motor is mounted on the boat's shaft, at the transom, using its two clamps or two through-bolts. The manual recommends a safety cable between the motor and a fixed point on the boat, and a check of the tightness before every outing. The 48 V connection (battery, communication cable, control) must be handled by a professional.

According to ePropulsion warranty terms, 24 months or 1,000 hours (whichever comes first) for leisure use, and 12 months or 1,000 hours for commercial use, starting from receipt by the first buyer. Exclusions notably include non-approved accessories and non-original parts. The manual also states that water ingress caused by fishing line wrapped around the propeller is not covered.

The engine with its propeller installed, a set of wrenches (19 mm and M6), a rudder tiller, a cable for the Evo tiller handle, the manual, and the warranty card. The Evo control unit, battery, charger, and communication cable are sold separately.
