Fixed installation and still limitlessly free

The entry-level models Trend 1.1 & 1.6 are the first flange motor systems with included and portable high-performance lithium batteries. This compact set thus combines two advantages: a permanently installed motor and limitless charging options – a feature that opens up unforeseen possibilities not only for buoy moorers but especially for all sailors who do not have a direct charging station at the jetty.

Trend 1.1

Fixed Pod Motor Trend

The highly efficient motor operates brushless at low speeds. This ensures a significant amount of power is silently transferred to the robust stainless steel shaft. Motors with minimal drag provide optimal flow to the propeller. Thanks to the specially developed folding propeller design, these motors achieve the highest thrust values, making them market leaders. To ensure the motor delivers maximum possible propulsion, we offer custom-made compensation plates for mounting the motor parallel to the waterline. Additionally, these plates dampen mechanical vibrations and guarantee maximum smooth running.

Frequently Asked Questions

What power is required?

Both motor models are particularly suitable for sailboats as auxiliary propulsion, but also for smaller motorboats. To ensure sufficient reserves against wind and waves, we recommend, depending on the hull shape, the Trend 1.1 for boats up to 1.5 tons, and the Trend 1.6 for up to 1.8 tons.

The operating time is doubled when using the 1,560Wh battery.

With a Trend 1.1 – 1.6 drive package, you are essentially ready to go. Everything is included: from the highly efficient motor with fixed propeller, onboard computer, and throttle control, to the high-performance lithium battery, charger, on/off switch & anode. Optionally, a folding propeller to reduce drag and a custom-made compensation wedge for easier installation can be purchased.

Generally, fixed pod motors are positioned between the keel and the rudder. The motor should be closer to the keel than to the rudder. The reason for this is that turbulence can occur behind the propeller, potentially causing vibrations at the rudder. Furthermore, the motor is also in the leeward water of the keel, thus having less drag. Additionally, flange motors should be arranged parallel to the waterline. For this purpose, Aquamot offers custom-made compensation wedges, which simultaneously dampen vibrations.

The warranty period is 2 years.
