To get maximum performance from a boat, we have a few variables we can work with: The kW of the electric engine, rpms we can set the engine at, and the propeller of the electric boat.
And the propeller, blade size, number of blades and pitch is key. Especially if you are wanting high torque for a displacement boat - like a yacht or pontoon or picnic boat or speed for a planing boat such as a speedboat or tender.
That's why our Australian made electric outboard motors don't just come with one proprietary propeller-like some other electric engines.
We offer a range of propellers for each of our electric outboards. And for all our electric outboard motors from 12kW the option includes a really cool Propulse adjustable propeller.
Propulse Propellers (pictured above) are made in Sweden from high-quality composite. 4 bladed for extra blade area (electric loves being under load) they have an easily adjustable pitch from 11" to 17".
All boats are different and require different characteristics from a propeller. This propeller allows you to adjust RPMs by changing pitch and adjusting the pitch to get the optimum performance from the boat. Takes a minute and you don't have to take the outboard off the boat. In an even better feature, we provide extra blades so if you damage your prop blade (so easy to do), it's the work of a moment to fix it. All you will need is a socket spanner.
With these propellers, you can increase or decrease the rpm in multiples of 200 RPMs by adjusting the pitch by a set number of increments. Plus there is an extra increment on either end of the scale. A lower pitch allows better acceleration and high engine revs. A higher pitch allows better running economy and lower engine revs.
We can also supply Propulse propellers for some of your existing boats, even if they are not electric.

For yachts, pontoon boats, picnic boats, houseboats and other displacement boats.
Equivalent to 10 hp
A lightweight but powerful electric outboard option for smaller displacement craft.
No one likes the noise and fumes of 10hp petrol outboards after a day of sailing, yachting, or picnic boating. Our 4kW HD electric outboard motor has been made in Australia especially for displacement boats. Lightweight at only 37kW it is easy to use with push-button starts and no maintenance. Stores anywhere as there is no fuel to spill. Ideal if you want to convert your boat into an electric boat.

When I was young, my family bought a 26-foot powerboat. My happiest days were in that boat or exploring on my own in the tender (an Aluminum tinny). As I was only about 10 years old, I was not trusted with a petrol outboard motor but had to row everywhere.
Fast forward to around 15 years ago. I was the marketing manager for a Government program that aimed to reduce the carbon footprint of small businesses. I knew nothing about carbon abatement and had not thought about the environment in any practical sense. I soon found out that good environmental practice was good business. Companies which took action on carbon abatement were more profitable. I was convinced that these two outcomes were not mutually exclusive. Caring for the environment is good business.
So when the opportunity came to invest in an Australian electric outboard business that combined boating and a good environmental outcome I jumped at it. Eclass Outboards came into being.
Then I had the pleasure of actually boating with these electric outboard motors. I'm telling you there is no going back! What a great user experience. Low noise, no fumes, no pull starts - just push button and go. So easy to use.
With new battery developments daily and the ability to go off the grid boating, we think electric boating is on the cusp of a revolution.

This Pride Cheetah has a proud history as a race-winning boat. Now converted as a fully electric boat. With the recommended 40HP now being served by a 30kW Eclass Outboard and Lithium-Ion Batteries.
We've just released Australia's first 30kW fully electric outboard. For those of you wondering about the power of these engines, instant torque and a flat torque curve means it has the propulsion power at the propeller you'd be looking at in a 40HP internal combustion engine (ICE). Operating cost savings over 10 years are pretty impressive as well. Contact us for a comparison sheet of costs of running 30kW electric vs petrol.
