Mercury Marine, has introduced the Mercury Avator 7.5e electric outboard for 2023 model year.
Avator is Mercury’s next step forward in marine innovation and the 7.5e model will be the first in a series of electric outboard products to be released in 2023 as Mercury advances on its commitment to be the leader in electrified propulsion.
The Avator 7.5e outboard will be introduced into Australia & New Zealand towards the middle of 2023 with the first arrivals on display at the March (23-26) Auckland Boat Show. Mercury also plans to display concepts for its Avator 20e and 35e outboards, which will be in market later in 2023.
The Avator 7.5e outboard generates 750W of power at the prop shaft and produces similar speed and acceleration as a Mercury 3.5hp FourStroke outboard. Offered with tiller or remote steering, it’s ideal for powering many small boats, including tenders, inflatables and kayaks.
Mercury created an entire propulsion system, fully integrated from the advanced controls, props and digital gauges to an all-new mobile app. Swappable batteries, a quick-connect mounting system and intuitive controls make setup and operation easy. A vivid full-colour display tracks battery level and range, for confidently exploring the water.
With its high-efficiency design and advanced lithium-ion battery system, the Avator 7.5e electric outboard is engineered to optimise range. The 1kilowatt hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery was developed in partnership with the battery experts at Mastervolt and engineered exclusively for marine duty. It’s a safe, reliable 48V power source that’s been drop-tested and IP67 rated for water resistance.
Smart chargers constantly monitor voltage and current to deliver a safe, effective charge and can shut down to protect the battery if there is an issue. An intelligent digital display continuously tracks your current power status and estimated runtime.
The Avator 7.5e electric outboard is the first propulsion system from Mercury to be compatible with the all-new Mercury Marine app, available for iOS and Android devices.
