Suitable for yachts up to 120 feet long, this robust direct-drive motor delivers the low rotational speeds necessary to efficiently power large sailing yachts and other heavy displacement vessels. This new addition to the Deep Blue family delivers 100 kW of continuous, emission-free power, ultimate torque, low maintenance and is powered by high-capacity batteries with technology by BMW i.

 

It is not just power and performance that make Deep Blue the first of its kind. It is unparalleled performance combined with full system integration and groundbreaking safety levels that set Deep Blue apart from all other electric propulsion systems on the market.

 

All the components of the system are perfectly engineered to match each other and are completely waterproof. State-of-the art monitoring technology with pilot lines and insulation monitors safeguard the high-voltage system against the risk of short circuits. The same high-performance lithium batteries used to power cars also power Deep Blue – after we developed them further for use in boats. These and many more safety and performance features make Deep Blue a unique high-voltage propulsion system for electric boats.

Deep Blue 100i 900 rpm – Benefits:

 

• Deep Blue: the first high-power propulsion system in serial production. A fully integrated system in which all components are designed to match each other seamlessly and to work together perfectly on the water. An overall concept that is unique in terms of safety, performance and range.
• The Deep Blue 100i 900 rpm is the "planer" at your side.
• Available as 100 HP equivalent depending on requirements.
• Torqeedo provides a 9-year warranty on battery bank: a reliable battery lifespan is key for electric boating economics. That is why the Deep Blue battery comes with a long-term battery capacity warranty: 9 years after commissioning, the batteries will still have 80 % of their original capacity, even if you use them every day.* Battery ageing is transparent and can be tracked by the user in the on-board computer at any time.

* Adherence to warranty conditions required. See Deep Blue battery capacity warranty at www.torqeedo.com for more details.
