Yamaha Debuts HARMO Electric Outboard Motor

By December 16, 2021No Comments

Meet the next generation of boat maneuvering, the Yamaha HARMO. This electric propulsion unit is paired with a steering control system to provide high thrust and maneuverability while remaining whisper-quiet and environmentally conscious.

“HARMO is the perfect system for horsepower or internal-combustion restricted waterways,” says Ben Speciale, president of Yamaha Marine U.S. business unit.

With an innovative rim-drive electric motor that turns a large impeller, HARMO features Helm Master EX system controls (including the joystick) for simple, intuitive operation. While rim drive motors have been deployed for thrusters and other marine applications, this is the first application in an outboard motor.

Available in single or twin configurations, the HARMO motor unit weighs 121 pounds and the system can effectively maneuver boats up to 32 feet in most conditions. HARMO is available through boatbuilders only.
