All-Electric Pure Outboard System
Revolutionary Performance
If your vintage/wooden hull accepts a 25-50 HP gas outboard, you can easily replace your current engine with a clean, quiet and powerful all-electric Pure Outboard System. Experience instant responsiveness, zero emissions, no maintenance, and longer outboard life.
- Outboard weight of only 105lbs makes it easy on older/wooden transoms.
- Battery pack size of only 15″ x 23″ x 9″ makes it easy to swap in for existing gas tanks.
- Modular batteries mean it’s easy to add additional packs for extended range.
- Low profile motor and near-silent operation means the focus is on your beautiful boat, not the motor.
