II. Core Power Performance Analysis

1. Power and Thrust Matching

The G15 is equipped with a 96V high-voltage permanent magnet synchronous motor with a rated input power of 12kW and maximum of 15kW, equivalent to 24 HP gasoline outboard. It easily powers 6–8m small yachts or work boats with 2–3 tons load capacity, reaching a maximum speed of 12–15km/h (depending on hull and load). Its 1250 rpm full-load low-speed design reduces noise and energy loss while balancing power output and efficiency.

2. Propulsion Efficiency and Energy Consumption

It adopts underwater direct drive + magnetic coupling isolation technology, eliminating the traditional gearbox to reduce friction and energy loss. The overall efficiency reaches 56%, 15%–20% higher than conventional electric outboard motors. Paired with a CFD-optimized 320mm 5-blade propeller, propulsion resistance is reduced by 30%, delivering excellent range at medium speeds. At a cruising speed of 10km/h, runtime reaches 4–6 hours (depending on battery capacity and hull resistance).

3. Quietness and Smoothness

As a core advantage of electric outboard motors, the G15 operates with near-zero noise and vibration, with noise below 55dB, much lower than gasoline engines of the same power (75–85dB). It provides a comfortable experience for recreational fishing and water sightseeing while avoiding noise disturbance to aquatic environments.


III. Core Technical Highlights

1. Direct Drive + Magnetic Coupling Dual Core Technology

Direct Drive Structure: The motor connects directly to the propeller without gear transmission loss, improving power transfer efficiency and reducing wearing parts and maintenance costs.

Magnetic Coupling Isolation: Deep-sea magnetic sealing enables contactless power transmission with zero water leakage, ensuring safety even in complex waters.

2. Full-Condition Protection and Reliability

IP68 Waterproof: Fully submersible, resistant to rain and waves, suitable for lakes, rivers, coastal areas and more.

Wide Temperature Adaptation: Operates from -25℃ to 50℃, stable in extreme winter and summer conditions.

Smart Protection System: Built-in overcurrent, overheating, overvoltage, undervoltage protection. Linear ramp control avoids shock to motor and hull during sudden acceleration/deceleration.

3. Easy Control and Adaptability

Multi-Stage Electric Adjustment: 0°–60° angle adjustment for quick adaptation to different water depths and drafts.

Independent Control Box + CAN Bus: Responsive operation with strong anti-interference, seamlessly integrating with navigation and monitoring systems.

Front/Remote Control Versions: Flexible installation for inflatable boats, fiberglass boats, aluminum boats and more.


IV. Scenario Adaptation and Value

1. Core Application Scenarios

Recreational Fishing: Quiet operation avoids disturbing fish; 12kW power meets cruising and positioning for fishing boats.

Small Yachts / Sailboats: 24 HP equivalent powers 6–8m yachts with zero emissions compliant with eco-friendly dock rules.

Marine Operations: Sightseeing boats, patrol boats, aquaculture boats benefit from low maintenance and long service life.

Events / Rescue: Fast response and precise control for water events and small rescue missions.

V. Summary and Selection Advice

With 12kW high power, 56% high efficiency and IP68 full protection, the Fuber G15 achieves an excellent balance of power, quietness and reliability, making it a benchmark in the mid-to-high end electric outboard motor market.


Selection Advice:

The G15 provides sufficient power and range for 6–8m small yachts, fishing boats and high-frequency marine operations.

It is an ideal gasoline engine alternative for users pursuing quietness, eco-friendliness or operating in gasoline-restricted areas.

A matched battery pack (125Ah or above) is recommended for longer runtime.

The Fuber G15 is more than an electric outboard motor – it represents the electrification, intelligence and sustainability of marine mobility, delivering a more economical, comfortable and eco-friendly boating experience.
