ePropulsion Americas launched the newest version of its lightweight electric outboard, ideal for drift boats and inflatable fishing boats with a transom over 15 inches. The new eLite 500W Long Shaft builds on existing models by adding more flexibility and a re-engineered mounting bracket. At 41 inches in length and weighing only 16.1 pounds, the new eLite stores easily and features a one-click quick-release bracket that allows for easy installation and removal.
“We were thrilled with the industry and market reaction to the launch of our versatile eLite and we’re excited to enhance that line with the introduction of the eLite Long Shaft,” says Tom Watson, president of ePropulsion Americas. “Whether looking for a reliable motor for an inflatable fishing boat or tender, the perfect engine should be lightweight, easy to mount and remove, easy to use and provide the range and speed for almost any conditions. We considered all of this when creating the next generation of the eLite and we’re confident these outboards check all of the boxes.”
The eLite’s direct-drive motor and advanced design propeller deliver high efficiency with near-silent operation. The outboard delivers multiple trim and tilt angles, adjustable steering resistance and shaft length and a shallow-water model. The Smart Battery Monitoring System efficiently optimizes performance, regulating battery level, temperature and remaining State-of-Charge — all displayed on an ultra-simple interface. The eLite 500W Long Shaft is IP67 waterproof and is constructed of aviation-grade aluminum alloy for lighter weight and greater durability. In addition, the anti-ground auto kick-up feature protects the motor from accidental damage.
