New Mercury Avator 35e Electric Outboard

The Mercury Avator 35e is a modular electric outboard designed for boats that need more propulsion than compact portable electric motors can provide. Mercury rates the 35e at 4,467 W of input power and 3,700 W of rated prop-shaft power on a 48 V electrical system. Mercury’s internal performance testing describes acceleration similar to a 9.9 hp four-stroke outboard.

The 35e uses remote 2,300 Wh or 5,400 Wh Avator batteries and requires an Avator Power Center with at least two batteries. Up to four compatible batteries can be connected through the Power Center, allowing the propulsion system to be sized for the intended runtime and boat application.

4.47 kW Electric Propulsion

The Avator 35e delivers 4,467 W of input power and 3,700 W of rated prop-shaft power. Its transverse flux electric motor is designed to provide smooth torque and efficient propulsion. Mercury compares the 35e’s acceleration with a 9.9 hp four-stroke outboard under its stated test conditions.

The 35e is therefore positioned between Mercury’s compact 7.5e and higher-output 75e/110e models. It is intended for boaters who need a modular electric propulsion system while retaining the portability and control options of an outboard installation.

Modular Battery System

The Avator 35e uses remote battery modules rather than an integrated battery. Mercury lists compatibility with 2,300 Wh and 5,400 Wh Avator batteries. The 35e requires an Avator Power Center and at least two batteries.

The Power Center acts as the system hub, distributing power from the connected battery bank to the outboard and allowing the connected batteries to be charged through the system. Mercury states that up to four compatible batteries can be connected to extend range and runtime.

Battery Capacity and Range Planning

Battery capacity should be selected around the boat’s expected cruising speed, load and trip duration. A higher battery capacity does not automatically produce a fixed range because range changes with hull design, displacement, throttle setting, water conditions, propeller and battery state of charge.

Mercury’s published example for the Avator 35e shows a 12-foot Lund WC-12 test boat with two fully charged 2,300 Wh batteries. At 50% throttle, Mercury reports approximately 2 hours 30 minutes of runtime and 13.3 miles of distance. Mercury states that actual results vary with boat, load, environmental conditions and battery state of charge.

Power Center

The Avator Power Center is required for the 35e and connects the outboard to the battery bank. Mercury describes it as an integrated hub that distributes power throughout the electric propulsion system and can charge up to four connected batteries from a single charging port.

Because the 35e requires at least two batteries, buyers should plan the motor, Power Center, battery modules, charger, controls and cabling as one complete propulsion system rather than selecting the motor by itself.

Charging Options

Mercury lists 230 W, 520 W and 1 kW charger options within the Avator battery and charging ecosystem. The 1 kW charger is associated with the 5,400 Wh battery configuration.

Mercury states that a portable 520 W Avator charger can recharge two depleted 5,400 Wh batteries in approximately 20 hours, while a vessel-integrated 1 kW charger can reduce charging time by more than 50%. Actual charging time depends on battery capacity, charger configuration and state of charge.

Tiller and Remote Steering

The Avator 35e is available with tiller or remote steering. The multi-purpose tiller can be adjusted for operator comfort, while digital remote controls are available for console boats in different centre- and side-console mounting arrangements.

Select the steering configuration according to the boat layout and intended installation. Console installations should be planned with the compatible Mercury controls, displays and wiring.

Standard Propeller

The standard Avator 35e propeller is a 12.7-inch diameter propeller with 7 inches of pitch. Mercury’s Avator specification tables list this as the standard propeller for the 35e.

Propeller selection affects acceleration, cruising efficiency, load carrying and maximum speed. Use Mercury’s compatible propeller specifications when changing the propeller rather than selecting a generic propeller solely by diameter and pitch.

Shaft Length Options

The Avator 35e is offered with 15-inch, 20-inch and 25-inch shaft lengths, corresponding to 381 mm, 508 mm and 635 mm. The correct shaft length places the propeller at the appropriate depth and helps maintain efficient propulsion.

Configuration Length
Short 15 in / 381 mm
Long 20 in / 508 mm
Extra-long 25 in / 635 mm

Motor and Battery Weight

Mercury’s Avator specification table lists the 35e at approximately 18.6 kg (41 lb) excluding the battery and transom bracket, or approximately 21.3 kg (47 lb) excluding the battery. The compatible 2,300 Wh battery is listed at approximately 21.7 kg (48 lb).

These figures should be considered when planning transport, battery placement and transom loading. The final system weight depends on the number and capacity of batteries installed.

SmartCraft Connectivity

Mercury’s Avator platform provides connected-system features through its SmartCraft ecosystem. Mercury states that users can use the app to access performance data, view range estimates, connect with their dealer and wirelessly update the Avator system.

Available connected features depend on the installed system and compatible equipment. Verify the required display, communication and control components for the specific 35e configuration.

Quiet Electric Propulsion

The Avator 35e is designed for smooth and quiet electric propulsion. Mercury reports that its internal testing found the Avator 35e 63% quieter than a 6 hp four-stroke combustion outboard at full throttle and with 60% less transmitted tiller-handle vibration in the stated test comparison.

These are Mercury’s internal test comparisons rather than universal results. Actual sound and vibration levels vary with the boat, mounting arrangement, operating conditions and surrounding environment.

Freshwater and Saltwater Use

Mercury describes Avator outboards as suitable for freshwater and saltwater operation and uses corrosion-preventive materials and coatings throughout the system. Regular rinsing and inspection remain important after saltwater use, particularly around the propeller, lower unit, mounting hardware and electrical connections.

Boat Applications

Mercury positions the Avator 35e for recreational boating applications where modular electric propulsion can provide quiet operation and flexible battery capacity. Mercury’s published performance material uses examples including a 12-foot Lund WC-12 boat and an 18-foot pontoon with three 2,300 Wh batteries.

Before installation, confirm the boat manufacturer’s maximum outboard rating, transom requirements, shaft length and system weight. The 35e’s actual performance depends on the complete boat, battery configuration, propeller and operating conditions.

Installation Considerations

An Avator 35e installation should be planned as a complete system comprising the outboard, Power Center, minimum two compatible batteries, charger, steering controls and required electrical connections. Battery placement should account for weight distribution, service access and cable routing.

Use Mercury’s current installation documentation for electrical protection, battery connections, charging and control-system requirements. Do not substitute incompatible batteries or charging components.

What to Consider Before Buying

  • Confirm the boat is rated for the Avator 35e.
  • Plan for the required Power Center and minimum two batteries.
  • Choose 2,300 Wh or 5,400 Wh batteries based on the required energy capacity.
  • Select the correct 15-, 20- or 25-inch shaft.
  • Choose tiller or remote steering based on the boat layout.
  • Confirm charger power and available charging infrastructure.
  • Account for battery weight and the number of batteries installed.
  • Use Mercury-compatible propellers and electrical components.

Compare Electric Outboard Motors
