SeaDrive AS
SeaDrive AS holds a unique competence within maritime technology. The products consist of state-of-the-art technology within maritime electric motors, range extenders, motor controllers, battery management systems and lithium batteries. The main components of SeaDrive pods are made of bronze. This is the most optimal material for long-lasting endurance and no corrosion.
At sea, the last thing you want is trouble with your engine. With just two moving parts, all made from high-quality material, SeaDrive´s pods minimise the chance of something unexpected happening. Every sailor has felt this. Moving across the sea with no exhaust or diesel or petrol smell. It’s just you and thesea breeze. SeaDrive’s pods let you experience this on most boats, even when there’s no wind.
The use of fossil-based marine engines has been banned in an increasing number of rivers, lakes and sea areas around the globe. SeaDrive´s durable electric pods are silent and do not pollute the environment. Thus, they can be legally used in many fragile marine environments.
SeaDrive’s versatile pods can be adapted to suit virtually any type of boat. Even Viking ships are being powered by SeaDrive pods. With an electric driveline from SeaDrive you can forget about oil changes, filter changes, spark plug changes, antifreeze changes and winter conservation. Forget about huge service bills and petrol stations draining your credit card as you refuel.
Charging is easy. You can charge your boat at regular shore power stations from a 10-amp fuse. It’s as simple as that. You can also install your own charger at your home harbour to increase the charging speed.
How far can you go on one charge? It all depends on the type of boat, the kind of engine and battery and your speed. On a full battery, you will easily be able to travel 100 nautical miles before recharging.
SeaDrive´s POD design is unique in the way that it offers a streamlined, symmetrical and modular concept so that one basic POD unit can be used for all applications. Placing all of the components inside the SeaDrive´s pod makes it:
- Space and weight saving – the motor and motor controller are integrated inside the pod and mounted outside the hull, adding no extra weight inside the boat
- Very easy to install
- Optimal cooling – no additional cooling systems required
- Versatile
- Robust
