The ePropulsion Navy 6.0 is a 6 kW electric outboard designed for larger boats that need more thrust and cruising capability than compact portable electric motors provide. The current Navy 6.0 Evo specification uses a 48 V electrical system, direct-drive brushless motor technology and ePropulsion E-Series batteries. ePropulsion describes the motor as a 9.9 HP-equivalent electric outboard, with the horsepower comparison intended as a theoretical performance equivalency rather than a direct measurement of electrical power.
The current Navy 6.0 Evo is available in short- and long-shaft configurations and can be operated with an Evo Tiller, Evo Remote Control, Evo Side Mount Control or Evo Dual Remote Control. It also incorporates hydrogeneration, allowing the propeller to generate energy back into a compatible ePropulsion battery when the specified sailing conditions are met.
The Navy 6.0 Evo provides 6 kW of input power from a 48 V electrical system. ePropulsion lists an input voltage range of 39 to 60 V DC and a rated rotation speed of 1,500 rpm. The manufacturer’s current product database lists 6,000 W maximum power, while the 2024 manual lists 57% maximum overall efficiency for the Navy 6.0 Evo.
The Navy 6.0 is intended for boats where quiet electric propulsion and low maintenance are important. Its direct-drive architecture eliminates a conventional gearbox, reducing the number of moving parts between the motor and propeller. ePropulsion specifically highlights the direct-drive design for quiet operation and reliability.
The Navy 6.0 uses a brushless DC direct-drive motor. Unlike a geared outboard, the direct-drive system transfers motor rotation to the propeller without a conventional reduction gearbox. This helps keep the propulsion system mechanically simple and supports quiet operation.
The current 2024 Navy 6.0 Evo product records list natural cooling, a maximum power of 6,000 W and 1,000 N of static thrust. ePropulsion’s published general Navy page also lists multiple propeller configurations, so the exact thrust figure should be considered configuration-dependent.
One of the distinctive features of the Navy 6.0 Evo is hydrogeneration. When a boat is sailing and the propeller is driven by water flow under the specified conditions, the Navy 6.0 can generate electrical energy back into a compatible ePropulsion battery.
Hydrogeneration does not mean the motor can continuously recharge itself while operating normally under power. ePropulsion specifies particular operating conditions for regeneration, and the published test data is based on defined propeller and anticavitation-plate configurations.
The Navy 6.0 Evo is designed to work with ePropulsion E-Series batteries. The battery is separate from the outboard, allowing the propulsion system to be configured around the vessel’s available energy capacity and intended operating range.
Battery selection should be based on expected power consumption, cruising speed, trip length and reserve requirements. The electrical system should use compatible ePropulsion components and the manufacturer’s specified cables, protection and communication equipment.
ePropulsion’s current Navy Series performance table provides example Navy 6.0 Evo results at different power levels. At 500 W, the published example shows 6.5 km/h with approximately 18 hours of runtime and 116 km of range. At 2,000 W, the example shows 10.8 km/h with approximately 4 hours 30 minutes of runtime and 48.6 km of range. At the full 6,000 W level, the example shows 24.3 km/h with approximately 1 hour 30 minutes of runtime and 36.5 km of range.
These figures are test results rather than guaranteed performance for every boat. Range changes with hull design, boat weight, battery capacity, propeller, sea state, current, wind and operating speed. Lower power settings generally provide substantially longer operating time than continuous maximum-power operation.
ePropulsion lists multiple propellers for the Navy 6.0 Evo. Current product information includes a 12.6 × 10.8 inch three-blade composite propeller, a 13.4 × 8.5 inch three-blade composite propeller and an optional 12.6 × 8.7 inch three-blade aluminum propeller.
Propeller choice affects thrust, acceleration, cruising speed and efficiency. The correct propeller should be selected using ePropulsion’s compatibility information and the requirements of the particular boat rather than by diameter or pitch alone.
The current 2024 Navy 6.0 Evo uses a redesigned transom bracket with several trim and tilt positions. ePropulsion lists installation positions at 5°, 10°, 15° and 20°, shallow-water positions at 35°, 50° and 65°, and an 80° fully tilted position.
Correct trim can improve handling and propeller efficiency. Shallow-water and fully tilted positions should be used according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions and water depth.
The Navy 6.0 Evo is available with short and long shafts. The current 2024 manual lists a 634 mm (25 inch) short shaft and a 759 mm (29.9 inch) long shaft. ePropulsion’s shaft recommendation is based on transom height, with the short shaft intended for approximately 40–50 cm transoms and the long shaft for transoms higher than 50 cm.
| Configuration | Short Shaft | Long Shaft |
|---|---|---|
| Shaft length | 634 mm / 25 in | 759 mm / 29.9 in |
| 2024 manual weight | 36 kg | 36.8 kg |
| 2024 manual dimensions | 547 × 314 × 1087 mm | 547 × 314 × 1212 mm |
| 2024 product-database weight | 28.5 kg* | 29.5 kg* |
*The current ePropulsion product database gives lower motor weights for the updated NE-6000-S1/L1 product records than the 2024 user manual. Because the two official ePropulsion sources describe the weight differently, buyers should confirm the exact SKU and stated weight basis before planning lifting, shipping or mounting equipment.
The Navy 6.0 Evo supports several control configurations: Evo Tiller, Evo Remote Control, Evo Side Mount Control and Evo Dual Remote Control. This allows the motor to be configured for tiller-controlled small craft or helm-controlled boats with a more conventional console arrangement.
The appropriate control should be selected according to the boat layout. Confirm the required control, kill switch and communication cable components when ordering a complete system.
ePropulsion identifies the Navy 6.0 Evo for larger boats such as motorboats, RIBs, river boats and sailing yachts up to approximately 5 tons. The motor is also described for aluminum fishing boats, dinghies, daysailers, pontoons and cruising sailboats.
The 5-ton reference is application guidance rather than a universal guarantee. Actual suitability depends on hull design, displacement, required speed, propeller, battery capacity and local requirements. Always verify the vessel’s maximum permitted propulsion power before installation.

*ePropulsion states that HP references for electric motors are theoretical equivalents based on thrust and performance characteristics and are not direct measurements of electrical power.
Before installing the Navy 6.0 Evo, confirm transom height, shaft length, battery location, control configuration, propeller selection and the required electrical components. The motor operates on a 48 V system with a 39–60 V DC input range, so battery and wiring components should be selected according to ePropulsion’s current installation documentation.
The current 2024 version also uses updated aviation-style electrical connectors and an inline main switch rather than the blue Anderson connectors used on the previous version. If purchasing a replacement or upgrading an older Navy 6.0, verify the exact motor revision before ordering cables or accessories.
If you are comparing the Navy 6.0 with other electric outboard motors, compare power output, battery capacity, shaft length, control type, propeller options, static thrust and expected range. The Navy 6.0’s 6 kW platform is designed for substantially larger applications than small portable electric outboards.
