Used inboard boat motors1/26/2024 ![]() ![]() Mercruiser complete marine engine/sterndrive packages describes a complete new drop-in marine engine including all of the related accessories and mounting hardware. When it comes to re-powering projects Mercruiser engine packages top the list of marine engine manufacturers to consider. Along with this level of technical service we offer the lowest prices along with a refreshing level of honesty and integrity. Having spent these years actually engineering product for the largest marine engine manufacturer in the industry we not only understand the industry, but also the technical details to help you establish the best product for your particular boat and corresponding usage patterns. Performance Product Technologies offers more than 25 years of experience in the marine industry both developing marine engines as well as providing technical marine engine service and support. To be more specific, the motor is 265.5 mm long (10.5″) with a diameter of 254 mm – 10 inches even.PPT offers, Inboard Marine Engines, Mercruiser Inboard Engines, Mercury Inboard Outboard Motors and more. As for dimension, “The drive, including controller, fits easily into a beer crate” says Adrian Patzak, Managing Director and one of the founders of the company. The motor has decreased in size with every advance in development and now weighs in at 45kg / 95 lbs. The stator cage – the part of the motor that remains stationary – uses bars of copper, rather than the copper windings in most motors, which lower powers production costs considerably, as bars are much easier and cheaper to manufacture than literally winding wire. That also helps reduce weight – always a good thing for a boat! The ISCAD 50 further cuts down on cabling and connection issues by integrating the controller with the motor. 48 Volts is also at the power level where technicians working on the installation do not require any special training. One of the benefits of the low voltage motor is that the wiring and clamping technology is much simpler compared to high-voltage systems. Light, compact, variety of configurations You can see the boat in action in the video below. Late last year they teamed up with German electric boat manufacturer my-elektroboat to put together a demo model that debuted at Austria’s Tulln Boat Show in early March, just before the severity of COVID-19 became apparent and restrictions were put in place. While the motor first started out as a solution for electric cars, it became apparent as work progressed that there would also be opportunities in boating. The team has received numerous awards for their groundbreaking work, including the German Mobility Award 2018 from the Federal Ministry of Transport, the Create the Future Design Award 2018 from the renowned Tech Briefs and the Handelsblatt Energy Award 2018. ![]() The production model of the ISCAD V50 is the 5th generation of the motor, the result of 6 years of work that started with a team of students from Munich’s University of Federal Defense. ![]() 5th generation of 48 volt electric boat motor While this ISCAD V50 does not have the variable pole pairings and virtual gearbox of the full ISCAD drive (this Plugboats article has a more complete description of ho it works), it does have the stator cage construction and the advantages that come from being able to operate on 48 volts. The motor is from Germany company Volabo ( Ed’s Note: The company name was changed to Molabo in late 2020) and is a variation on their ISCAD: Intelligent Stator CAge Drive which we wrote about in April. A new 48 volt electric boat motor with peak power of 80kW (96 hp) and nominal power of 50kW (65hp) is going into serial production and can be ordered now for delivery in December 2020. ![]()
