Our propulsion systems consists of a submersible Electric permanent magnet DC motor. The motor mounting shaft rotates for steering, giving greater control than the use of a rudder. The motor is protected by a skeg allowing the boat to slip over or be pulled across obstacles.
High bypass allows for operation at low battery conditions or for top speed in close situations.
