ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo: Quiet, Clean, Powerful Marine Propulsion

ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo

In the shift toward greener boating, electric outboards are increasingly proving their worth. Among the standout options is the ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo—a 6 kW (approx. 9.9 HP equivalent) electric outboard motor designed for dinghies, sailboats, tenders, and other light marine craft. EMO Electric now offers this advanced motor on its platform, bringing cutting-edge electric propulsion to boating enthusiasts and professionals alike.

In this blog, we’ll explore what sets the Navy 6.0 Evo apart, its features, performance, suitability, and some things to watch out for.

Why the Navy 6.0 Evo Matters

1. Power & Efficiency in a Clean Package

  • The Navy 6.0 Evo delivers 6 kW input power, roughly comparable to a 9.9 HP petrol outboard—without emissions or noise. 

  • Thanks to direct drive (i.e. fewer mechanical parts), the system is quieter, simpler, and low maintenance. 

  • ePropulsion’s hydrogeneration tech allows the propeller (when pushed by water flow, e.g. under sail) to help recharge the battery — a clever feature for hybrid usage.

2. Flexible Control Options

You can choose how you control the motor:

  • Tiller handle

  • Top-mount remote control

  • Side-mount control

  • Dual remote control 

You can also swap control modes later if your setup changes. 

3. Battery & Power Compatibility

  • The Navy 6.0 Evo is built to run on 48 V systems (39–60 V range). 

  • ePropulsion’s own E-Series Lithium (LiFePO₄) batteries are the recommended match to maximize efficiency, safety (via integrated BMS), and system integration. 

  • You can also use third-party batteries, but you must ensure matching voltage, current capacity, and preferably an IP rating and BMS.

5. Design & Durability

  • The motor is waterproof (IP rating) and built for both saltwater and freshwater use. 

  • It uses composite 3-blade propellers (various sizes, depending on version). You get features like adjustable trim & tilt (several positions) to optimize performance. 

Ideal Use Cases & Boat Types

The Navy 6.0 Evo is best suited for:

  • Medium-sized sailboats, as a quiet auxiliary motor

  • Dinghies and tenders in salt or fresh water

  • Workboats or RIBs where modest power and reliability matter

It might not be appropriate if your vessel needs very high speed or uses heavy loads—then you may need a more powerful motor or hybrid setup.
