ELECTRIC OUTBOARD AND 3D JOYSTICK

Share:

The BlueSpin 8kW by BlueNav is a compact, high-performance electric outboard designed for hybrid or full-electric navigation. Engineered for silence, responsiveness, and low environmental impact, the BlueSpin 8kW integrates seamlessly into existing boats without compromising aesthetics or performance – a perfect solution for anyone exploring modern electric boat propulsion.

With 8kW of electric power and 250 Nm of torque, it delivers robust and efficient propulsion in a lightweight footprint. Its retractable, azimuthal pod ensures optimal hydrodynamics, low drag, and smooth integration into both new and retrofit vessels. Fully silent in electric mode, it enables zero emission navigation, while automatic switching guarantees extended range and autonomy within a modern hybrid marine system. Designed for easy installation, it suits both mono and twin-motor configurations.

The new 3D joystick control is a state-of-the-art system that translates simple hand gestures into precise boat movements – forward, reverse, rotate, slide sideways – with natural, proportional thrust. Designed for one-handed use, it dramatically improves docking, low-speed handling, and overall control, even in tight conditions. With features like Heading Hold and Cruise Control at your fingertips, boat piloting becomes as intuitive as pointing your finger.

Available for new builds or retrofits, the 3D Joystick brings fingertip control to the forefront of marine innovation – making modern navigation smarter, smoother, and more accessible than ever, especially for boaters interested in electric boat propulsion and seamless integration of electric outboard technology.
