Electric only reservoir fishing and competitive bass fishing is becoming a bigger part of my life as my TH-cam channel and content continues to grow. I reside in the Great state of Georgia where we are blessed to have many amazing electric motor only fisheries to take advantage of for pleasure or sport. As I become more involved with this culture I have quickly realized the advantages of utilizing an electric outboard. The ePropulsion Navy 3.0, equivalent to 6 hp, is the unit i have equipped the #topgunjonboat with. Im excited to share this new chapter/ huge upgrade with the world to see. This will be the first video of a Playlist I do on my channel dedicated to the ePropulsion electric outboard. In this video I will cover a variety of topics from unboxing, specs and details, to demonstration of the outboard in action! I will also cover some information that I believe is valuable regarding why I use an electric outboard and what the pros and cons are versus a traditional gas combustion outboard. I hope you enjoy my new upgrade and can take something away from this video! As always, may your tiny boat builds be great!
________________________________________

Great video.
Very informative.
Fantastic video! Perfectly showcased and enthusiastically presented! Awesome job. I’m getting one. 👍
Thanks so much! Links in the description for ePropulsion.
Great motor man! Glad we got it done at the tournament
You killed it man!!
I never knew such a thing existed, that's really sweet. Hello from the Navajo Nation Mr. Jones. I wanted to thank you along with Michael Lopez and FIREANT for all the help and advice you all have given. My 14ft 1956 Starcraft is still under construction and my family is anxiously awaiting to hit the water. I really appreciate all that you have tested and revealed to your audience, it has changed my (and so many others) complete outlook on small boats and has allowed me to eventually give my family that "bass boat" experience on a budget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.
Thanks so much man for your heartfelt comment👊👊👊 Often times I forget the positive impact my content has as I get caught up in my own world. Comments like this are well needed reminders of why I do what I do and why I love this scene. Thanks so much man I greatly appreciate your support. Good luck on the Starcraft build, I hope it turns out just the way you want it.
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Thanks a lot, its coming along slowly but surely. I'm just about ready to start laying some foam insulation. Gonna treat my plywood with resin like how you had done in your demonstration before i carpet it. Thanks for mentioning that safe cozy area you built for your little to hang out and chill while your on the water. My littles will appreciate it greatly!
Looks like it handles pretty well, the speed is sufficient, great video cuz👊👊👊
Thanks so much cuz!
Great video. I have been considering a electric motor, currently rebuilding a Jon boat and this sounds like a good option.
Thank You for this video brother
Well done on explaining everything. I would like to consider trying electric outboard for my 14 ft RIB.
Thanks! Give ePropulsion a serious consideration! More content to come, i am very impressed so far!
Super video!
Wow I want that E175 lithium batteries pack cool, great video again mate.
3 hours charge time is insane man! I love the futuristic look of the outboard! I can’t wait to check it out!
Thanks bro, yes the charge time is a gamechanger! Benefit of lithium ion over lead acid battery
Yeah your bass raider would RIP!
I bet it would fly lol 😂
Awesome motor! I’m thinking about a Navy 6.0 for my Macgregor 26x.
Thank you for the video. They are definitely becoming an interesting proposition. Though the price is going to have to come down. I figured the battery would be pricey, but that motor cost seems a bit outlandish. Granted they do appear priced below Torqeedo, and it's a very low volume market right now versus their expenses to startup I'm sure.
Another disadvantage of the electric is the batteries' capacities degrade over time, and performance can be much worse in cold weather. So, I feel like you have to price in the cost of a replacement battery. Though by then the technology will probably have changed and you'll need a complete new unit. Obviously gas motors degrade as well, but you can maintain and repair them to stay near their peak operation for longer.
Wow I love it! Definitely something I'm going to have to consider
I'm loving the ePropulsion so far!
I’m getting this set-up but I’m guessing within a few years these lithium batteries will become cheaper, lighter, and stronger. Clearly this brand is the best electric outboard according to numerous TH-cam reviews and comments. Nick follows through and answers questions very clearly so even I can understand. 😀👍🏼
Nick is great. Good attitude.
Hello,
can you display the mounting of the timon on the motor ?
You said it is bluetooth connected : can we use it at a distance from the motor ? (and, so, powering for both sailboat and dinghy with the same engine)
Thank you for this review !
How does the external powersource/battery cope wtih getting wet/water when it is in an open speed boat like a truekit discovery? Is that an issue?
Hey Anthony. Thank you for a nice demo-video. Does the the tiller bend/tilt upwards? Or is it locked to a horizontal position. My sailboat transom is quite high, and it would require tiller handle to either tilt upwards or the engine be placed further aft, so the handle can move freely.
The tiller handle is a separate part and locks into place and is stationary, no ability to manipulate up and down. I do believe this design will be changed down the road eventually. Thanks for watching !
I bought the Navy 3 outboard a few weeks ago after months of reviewing all the electric outboard options out there. My specific use is for a 20 ft sailboat. I was shocked at the price of the ePropulsion battery - over 3k for less than 65Ah and only rated for 800 cycles. For $1200 I have built my own waterproof, LiFePO4 battery with 85Ah and bluetooth connectivity for monitoring rated at 4000 cycles before 80% DoD. It weighs 68lbs. A 135Ah battery would weigh around 100lbs. Haven't had it out on the water yet as I'm making some repairs to the sailboat - great review to see what's in store!
@@chandlerxu9107 I have not yet - I did not know one existed. I'll be sure to check that out. Thanks for the information!
@@wesleyclark2032 You're welcome!
Any chance you would share the build info for your battery? Does it report any info to the tiller or do you just look at your bluetooth status separately?
are you able to increase the length of the tiller?
Can’t wait to see speed you get. Curious to know if there’s props to increase it further
I know the 9hp model comes with different props. Mine is the 6. I think w some fine tuning and testing we can get a bit more speed in the 14 but I'm really curious to see what it will get in my 12 ft build with a slick bottom coat epoxy and all 1/16 aluminum framing.
Excellent review man. Have had my eye on a torqeedo and this one for a while.
Give ePropulsion some serious consideration, ill have a full in depth review in a few months, so far I'm pretty impressed
Torqeedo nickel&dimes you to death. Their outboards alone aren't much more expensive than the equivalent ePropulsion, but EVERY accessory you need is like twice the price. They also don't have the best reputation for reliability or customer service; ePropulsion's products aren't perfect either, but they are trying very hard to deliver superior customer support through their dealer network.
Wonder wut it would do in current . How fast it would eat threw that battery ?
Did you make a video testing this on your 14? I wonder if a jack plate would increase the top speed … 🤔
Does the battery charger shut off after the battery is fully charged?
What's the average life span of the battery? Thanks for another fantastic video.
Where can I get one?
I tried the "schedule a test ride" dealer link and have not received a single response.
I was just about to ask if that was Fire Ant Fishing when you said his name lol.
I fish lake oconee, I'm all electric (trolling) right now myself. Hope to see you out on the water!
Probably won't see me in Oconee much but we dig Hard Labor!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats that's only like 30 mins from me, I'll havta check it out as soon as my trailer gets registered
Awesome review what's the L,W,H on the battery?
The size of the Navy battery is 59.4 × 20.9 × 28.3 cm
23.4 × 8.2 × 11.1 inches"
hi. i want to buy navy 3.0 or 6.0. i have a question. there isn't much money between them. and also if i use at same watt (for example at 3000watt) they both present same working hours with same battery. so, shall i buy 6.0 for future, or 3.0 may prefer because of its weight?
very nice , very expensive , how long will the batteries last ?
Good video. I may have to get an electric mud motor so we can race. LoL
let her rip tater chip
what was the top speed so far? nice setup btw..
7mph fully loaded, two men in boat
Hey buddy... nice vid..... im not sure if you have seen them but check out the karvin electric motors.... this motor can be a 8, 12 or 16hp depending on the voltage.... 24, 36 or 48v..... they also make there own battery packs... but I would go two 24v tesla modules 😆
Karvin gets credit for making the most powerful direct-drive (no gearbox or belt) electric outboard, but that's about it. They clearly misunderstand basic concepts like efficiency and propulsive power, since they claim their top-spec 6.8 kW motor is equivalent to a 24 HP outboard (maybe it's equivalent to a 24 HP with only one cylinder firing!). They also don't have a twist throttle on the tiller, it's a panel of 4 pushbuttons (+/-/F/R); that would get old FAST. I surveyed the electric outboard landscape (Torqeedo, Karvin, Stealth, Elco, etc), and ePropulsion stood above the rest when it came to design, power/weight, and price. I own a Vaquita, Spirit 1.0, and Navy 6.0. None of have been perfect, but ePropulsion has worked with my dealer to resolve every issue I've had; they are a good company trying to make their mark on an emerging industry.
@@the_phew3552 Another great video, And they now have a Navy 6.0 now I am sure, will you be doing a video on that Anthony? How much flatout run time on that huge battery also? Cheers Steve D Australia.
Tesla modules??? So where can I get these and how much?
how fast is it?
Hey Anthony, can you hook up the battery to a solar system?
I'm not 100% sure but I think you can
You can, but be aware that it will take a fairly large solar array to charge a 48v, 60+Ah battery in a 'reasonable' amount of time with the appropriate amperage (typically 10% of the rated Ah capacity) Charging a battery I built with a 10 amp inverter charger takes just shy of 10 hours. I would need roughly 500 watts of solar to achieve the same charge time; 1000 watts to cut the charge time in half etc. etc. If you are trying to install enough solar on your boat to achieve a decent charge rate you would run out of space fairly quickly for all the panels needed.
Yes, make sure you buy the correct solar charger with MPPT function. Consult with ePropulsion Facebook if you need.
The battery pack has a service life, so its not a "no cost" after purchase except charging... Product warranty?
ePropulsion lithium ion good for up to 3,000 charge cycles, warranty is 2 yr excluding commercial use
How much was the total?
Where did you order your setup from?
Links are in the top section of vidro description. You can click the "try before uou buy" link for more info as well
The future is electric and it is already here!
seriously? A lawnmower engine will get you there faster.
Price for this thing?
ill buy it one day. Need some more mula though 😂
Don't we all lol
One downside is the weight of the batteries, a lot of us senior citizens are limited in how much weight we are supposed to lift, these heavy batteries, whether its a big deep cycle or a lithium ion they are both beyond safe limits for many of us to lift. Once an engine is mounted to the boat the only lift required is gas, and if needed you can load up a larger number of small gas cans so you aren't lifting too much weight. Just something to think about.
7:28 “Obviously it’s electric start .“ Ha Ha Ha!
Put that thing on a Porta-Boat and do 20MPH!
With electric start, you are free from the hassle of pull start. Simply push the button and go. :)
what was total cost with battery all in?
I go over that in video but 2,600 for outboard, 2,000 for e series battery. So 5k
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Thanks missed that..
Did you buy direct or some third party or some dealer?
ePropulsion doesn't make direct sales, but only through the dealer network. There's a "Have a Dealer Contact Me" button on the Navy 3.0 product page: www.epropulsion.com/navy-3
It’s a nice motor, but I haven’t got the money
Their tiller arms are all on a ship from China.😮A month supply-chain delay so far. Total spent-$6,000. Considering Marlin Jon boat for the outboard. They’re spendy too, but wide and stable. EPropulsion has been very businesslike and the guys are professional and enthusiastic. I can’t blame them for slow boats from China.
Not sure who you purchased from but there are dealers right now with the outboards in stock. Unless you are getting a replacement part, im not sure.
Is that $4900 with the battery?
Yes that is correct
Very informative! Just way too much loud music on detailed info.
Thank you! Sorry about that!
The E80 battery weighs 106#.
Yes, that is correct. What exactly are you getting at?
you also will get better price then they sell for before you buy let him know i sent you will get 75 usd off
I understand your reason on why you’ve made that choice. But this is not for everyone, especially for the price $5k? Holy crap!
