The RAD 40 electric outboard motor

RAD 40 electric outboard with 40 kW continuous power (60 hp petrol equivalent), 400 V fast-charging architecture, ±90° electro-hydraulic steering, IP67 closed-circuit design and RADBus drive-by-wire controls.

Description

The RAD 40 is a 40 kW electric outboard motor delivering thrust equivalent to a 60 hp petrol outboard. Designed for RIBs and powerboats, it is supplied as a complete plug-and-play propulsion system with drive-by-wire controls.

Key features

  • High-torque axial flux motor paired with bespoke propellers
  • 180° (±90°) integrated electro-hydraulic steering for docking and tight manoeuvres
  • Remains behind the transom when tilted up
  • Closed-circuit cooling with no intakes or impellers; tested to IP67
  • 400 V architecture compatible with fast chargers
  • Smart steering wheel with variable resistance and adaptive mapping that limits steering angle at high speed

RADBus control system

  • Drive-by-wire throttle with neutral safety and illuminated tilt/trim buttons
  • Vessel Control Unit with GPS, NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and GSM
  • Battery interface for charge, range and endurance data
  • RAD Tag intelligent key and stop lanyard
