Electric boating is evolving rapidly. The new 8.8 kW Arka pod motor gives the Tender 590 and larger models a powerful, efficient and future-ready drive. This new pod motor combines immediate electric power with optimum efficiency across boating conditions.
What makes the 8.8 kW Arka pod motor unique?
The Arka pod motor is positioned entirely beneath the hull. This creates a clean appearance and, above all, better performance on the water.
With 8.8 kilowatts of power, the motor delivers maximum torque instantly. This means:
- Fast, smooth acceleration
- Whisper-quiet cruising
- No vibration or exhaust emissions
- Immediate throttle response
Positioning the motor underwater produces more efficient water flow along the hull, reducing drag and improving stability.
The perfect match for the Tender 590
The Tender 590 is known for comfortable handling and a modern appearance. The 8.8 kW Arka pod motor adds a new dimension to this model.
Benefits of the new pod motor:
- More efficient energy use
- High torque for faster starts from standstill
- More range per battery charge
- Low-maintenance electric propulsion
The combination of hull design and pod propulsion creates a surprisingly powerful, smooth boating experience. Ideal for relaxed tours as well as brisker cruising.
Also suitable for larger models
The 590 is not the only model to benefit. Larger tender models in the range, such as the 650 and 690, also cruise noticeably more efficiently with the new pod motor.
Improved hydrodynamics and immediate electric torque provide:
- More grip in turns
- Better performance at cruising speed
- Lower energy demand
- Comfortable cruising
On longer trips, this means greater range and a steadier speed with less energy consumption.
