    OWNERS MANUAL:

    PERFORMANCE TEST:

    It is imperative to accurately measure the transom mount height for an Epropulsion outboard. Having the wrong measurement for the shaft length can drastically affect the performance of the outboard. If the measurement taken is too short for the transom mount, the propeller will not sit deep enough in the water. When the propeller does not sit deep enough in the water it will cavitate and decrease efficiency. If the measurement taken is too long for the transom mount, the propeller will sit too deep into the water. When a propeller sits too low behind a boat, it will have increased water resistance and reduced speeds.

    How to Find Your Shaft Length

    If you are looking for an ePropulsion electric outboard for your boat, choosing the correct shaft length is important. 

    *NOTE* TAKACAT, Aircat, Bris and other Fully Inflatable Catamarans require the SHORT Shaft - due to shallow transom depth in the water. 

    Please note that ePropulsion has a different shaft length measurement from gas-powered outboards. For electric outboards, the shaft length is measured from the top of the clamp bracket to the center of the propeller. For gas outboards, it’s measured from the top of the clamp bracket to the anti-ventilation plate.

    As you can see, our XS is close to S from Mercury. Our S is close to L from Mercury. Our L is longer than L from Mercury. See below.

    To find the suitable shaft length, the principle is to make sure the top of the propeller is matched to the lowest point of the transom. In order to get the right shaft length, first, measure the transom height, the length from the top of the boat transom to the bottom of the boat.

    After that, you could choose the recommended shaft length based according to the transom height.

    For most small dinghies and aluminum boats under 15ft, extra short shaft and short will work, depending on the transom height, some over 15.7 inches, some not.

    For boats with the transom height higher than 50 cm / 19.7 inches, a long shaft version is more suitable. For daysailers, sports boats and other sailing boats it’s best to measure the distance from the water line to the top of your outboard mount.

    Outboard motor

    Awesome ! We were at Catalina for the entire weekend and the battery lasted the whole time

    Light weight. Enough torque to move through the water well when starting up and enough horsepower to move through small waves well. Accelerates well.

    What an upgrade

    Purchased as an auxiliary for a 25’ sailboat and a dinghy. Moves the sailboat with four on board out of the marina and not sailing grounds at a comfortable 3-3.5kts. All the while quiet enough for normal conversation. Torque makes maneuvering in and out of the slip as smooth as butter. Easy to carry, mount and dismount. Great service from TBN

    I only used it once and I’m really liking it. It’s really quiet and smooth. Took it out for 3hrs not running it the whole time but returned with around 20% battery. Still learning how to use it and looking forward to many enjoyable trips on the water with this motor.

    First outing for raft and motor.

    Used once on a Approach 120 raft for few hours. We were on a small lake. Stiff winds started up and we at the far side of the lake. Not really sure on how the battery would last, we slowly returned to the boat ramp. Directional control was surprisingly good. Power was sufficient to get us back across the lake. About 30 minutes. Recharge time about an hour. Total time was about 2hrs. Trolling and touring the lake. Part of the time 20 min. Full power , the half speed 20 min. Low speed most of the time.
