Ecopower 3.0 - the powerful one - with remote control
The brushless drive motor from EcoPower is a powerful electric motor made in Australia. The electric outboard is very well designed – e.g. integrated voltmeter, undervoltage protection and temperature protection are extremely useful in practical use. The brushless motor drives the propeller through the contactless reversal of the polarity of the drive magnets. This guarantees higher energy efficiency and significantly lower wear. Even the smaller models from EcoPower are about as powerful as medium-sized models from other manufacturers – although they are significantly cheaper! This is noticeable at the latest with the next fresh breeze, when you have to maneuver quickly against the wind to reef.
This is the shaftless remote control variant (also POD or similar to flange motor), where the speed or propeller speed is controlled by the electric drive via a remote control. The engine is mounted on the hull of the boat (corresponding mounting shells are included) and the boat is then steered either via a control system e.g. steering wheel or directly via the tiller.
The Ecopower 3.0 has similarly good consumption values as the 2.0 model, but convinces with its power. It unfolds its full potential in strong headwinds and waves, and this with measured max. 60A consumption:

Note: Boat size, design, weight (displacement) and weather conditions (e.g. wind & waves) affect the stated values. Thus, these values are only to be seen as a reference.
* The runtime depends on the battery capacity as well as the risk of overheating, you should exhaust the specified runtime, especially at full speed. If the overheating protection is activated, the motor reduces the current consumption to 50% for safety reasons.
