Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), has announced the Avator™ 75e and 110e electric outboards have started to ship to global customers. The 75e and 110e, which were officially launched in June, are the latest models of Mercury's five low-voltage Avator electric propulsion systems to be in market. Mercury's Avator lineup now includes the 7.5e, 20e, 35e, 75e, and 110e.
Since its launch in 2023, Mercury's Avator electric propulsion series has won multiple design and innovation awards in both the marine and electronics industries. Most recently, the Avator 20e and 35e received a 2024 CES Innovation Award as well as 2024 Boating Industry Top Products Awards.
"This is an exciting day for Mercury Marine as we deliver on our commitment to bringing five low-voltage electric outboards to market," said John Buelow, Mercury Marine president. "We look forward to all our customers around the world having the opportunity to power bigger sustainable adventures on the water."
Avator's industry-first transverse flux motor technology delivers instant torque and reliable, efficient power. The 75e and 110e outboards connect to an Avator 5400 Power Center, which facilitates seamless battery integration, offering the flexibility of connecting up to four rugged, weather-sealed and touch-safe Avator 5400Wh lithium-ion batteries for extended range and runtime. The portable 520W Avator charger will recharge two depleted 5400Wh batteries in approximately 20 hours, while the 1050W charger can cut charge time by more than 50 percent (requires an AC-compliant inlet and breaker).
Both models are available with digital remote controls for boats with console steering. The 75e is also available with a multi-function tiller handle. The standard power tilt system also makes it easy to raise or lower the outboard for maximum efficiency or to operate in shallow water.
