The Pod Drive eSSA is ideal for both custom-designed new boat installation and for retrofitting old boats.
 
High Reliability
Improved impact resistance: Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy and subjected to rigorous collision tests.
Effortless natural cooling: Pod Drive 20 eSSA cools itself by submerging in water, eliminating the need for cooling channels and the risk of blockages.
 
Hydrogeneration
Equipped with a hydrogeneration function as standard, Pod Drive 20 eSSA can charge your batteries when sailing. It will start charging from around 4 knots, and can generate up to 1400W.
 
Space Saving
As it's an external pod drive, considerable space is saved where the diesel engine and tank(s) would normally be. Some of that is needed for the batteries and motor driver, but those components have more location options, giving designers the potential to include extra storage or larger cabins.
 
Easy to Install
Pod Drive 20 eSSA is a modular system, with separate motor and driver units. This makes it easy to install, and easier to upgrade in the future if the user's requirements change.
 
Different numbers of batteries can be selected according to the speed and range requirements (Up to 8 batteries can be connected in parallel within a single cluster. Multiple clusters are possible in the system).
