Mercury Marine continues to grow its electric offerings, now reaching a whopping 11,000 watts (around 15 horsepower) with the 48-volt Avator 110e. Unlike some manufacturers they package it with a matching modular power supply, the LiFePO4 lithium-ion 5400 Power Center, four of which can be connected to house a grand total of 21,600 watt-hours of juice. The 110e also has some perks we’re not used to seeing on most electric outboards this size, like power tilt, available helm displays for remote controls, wireless connection with SmartCraft Connect, a choice of 15”, 20”, and 25” shaft lengths, and 8”, 9”, and 10.5’ propeller options. Each 5400 Power Center weighs in at 93 pounds and the motor is 124 pounds. Price: TBD at this time.
Mercury also now offers the 75e, which can utilize the same 5400 Power Center battery power source and shares the same dimensions as the 110e, but peaks at a propshaft power of 7500 watts rather than 1,100. This model is also available in a shorter shaft length (15") and a tiller-steer version.
