Our range
Every EClass electric outboard, 8HP to 60HP
Shop by the petrol motor you’re replacing. Each EClass outboard is programmed — we adjust the amp draw — to deliver the equivalent thrust of its HP-rated petrol model, so one motor platform covers several HP ratings.

Find your electric outboard by HP
Every price here is an estimated RRP — the recommended retail price, ex works Kiama, ex GST — and is confirmed on quote. Local distributors set their own retail price, so treat this as a guide rather than a fixed number. Where a tier spans a range, that’s the spread across its variants; the full breakdown is below.








No motor to match? If you’re buying a new boat, or the transom’s bare, check the builder’s plate — every boat has one, usually on the transom or in the cockpit. It states the maximum engine power the hull is rated for, in kW (and often HP too). Match that and you’re right. Buying new? Ask the dealer for the plate details before you order.

| 30.72 kWh | LiFePO4 | 96.2 V | 280 kg | 320 A | $16,000 | $521 |
Battery and charger are additional. Two chemistries, and the choice is a real one: NMC is lighter (≈167 Wh/kg) and costs more per kWh; LiFePO4 is cheaper per kWh and roughly a third heavier. On a small planing hull weight wins; on a houseboat or a workboat it usually doesn’t. Your motor’s voltage sets the pack — 48V motors take 51.2 V packs, 96V motors take 96.2 V packs. Chargers are matched to the pack: AUD $600 for the 1.2 kW unit (runs off any standard 10A plug) up to AUD $1,000 for 3 kW and above (needs a 20A supply — worth checking your shed before you order). A small battery on a big charger is money wasted; a big battery on a small one is a long wait. We quote the complete system, so you see the real figure.
Built for real water
Built like an outboard, not a pod
Under 10 kW you’ll be comparing us with pod motors. The difference isn’t a detail — it’s where the motor lives. Theirs sits underwater in a plastic pod. Ours sits up in the cowling, above the water, exactly where a petrol engine has always sat.
| Typical pod motor | EClass | |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Pod motors have plastic parts, as do some outboards — but on a pod motor those parts sit permanently submerged | Housed up in the cowling, above the water — not submerged in a pod. Built rugged for remote use, where the nearest service agent is a long way away |
| Where the motor sits | Down in the pod, underwater, at the bottom of the leg | Up in the cowling, above the water — exactly where a petrol engine sits. Cooling runs off the casing’s own water system, proven reliable for years |
| Take a hit | Crack the pod and water’s in the motor | Clip a rock, a ramp or a reef and the motor never knows it happened. There’s nothing of it down there to break |
| Drive | Direct drive — the prop turns at motor speed | Geared. The reduction ratio in the leg turns motor torque into thrust — more push from the same kW |
| Shifting | — | No gears to select. No forward, neutral or reverse to crunch — docking is throttle and nothing else, with insane torque the moment you touch it |
| Propellers | Proprietary — order it in and wait | Off the shelf at any chandlery. Standard parts you can actually buy |
| Learning it | A new system, new controls, new habits | Intuitive — it operates like the petrol outboard you already know. Same transom, same instincts |
Sizing it right
Why a houseboat needs less power than a runabout
This trips people up, so it’s worth saying plainly. Our 40HP will push a 30 ft houseboat. Our 60HP is sized for a 4 m runabout. That looks backwards until you know what each hull is actually doing.
| Planing hull | Displacement hull | |
|---|---|---|
| What it’s doing | Climbing out of the water and riding on top of it | Never leaving the water — just pushing it aside |
| Speed limit | Whatever the power gives you | Hull speed — about 1.34 × √LWL in feet. Roughly 5 kn on a 16-footer, 7 kn on a 30-footer. No amount of power goes past it |
| Power it needs | A lot, continuously — and if you’re short of it the boat never gets up. It just ploughs | About 2 kW per tonne, and that’s it |
| What 10 kW moves | ≈ 700 kg – 1 tonne | ≈ 5 tonnes |
| What 20 kW moves | ≈ 1 – 1.5 tonnes | ≈ 10 tonnes |
Five to seven times the boat, from the same motor and the same battery. It’s not a mistake in our range — it’s the difference between lifting a boat and pushing one. So if your boat is a displacement hull — a houseboat, a launch, a sailing boat, a barge — take the tonnage, multiply by 2 kW, and you’re close. If it planes, tell us the weight and what you want it to do, because that’s a different sum entirely.
Watch us in action
Not a render, not a rendering of a render — an EClass outboard doing the job on real water.
Custom builds
Nothing in the range fits? We’ll build it.
Custom electric propulsion is at the core of EClass. We build outboards and RePower conversions around individual vessels — configuring each system for the range, power and efficiency that boat actually needs, rather than the nearest thing on a shelf.
- Unusual transoms and mounts — we work to your measurements, not a standard
- Set thrust and range targets — tuned to the load you actually carry
- Purpose-built craft — research, rescue, tourism, community and training vessels
- Cruise boats 6–30 passengers and historic vessel repowers — we’ve done both
- Built and tested in Kiama — designed by Ron Kelly, proven before it ships
