Momentum M1010 kW electric outboard motor for sailboats, tenders and workboats
10 kW · 72 V · ≈ 15-20 HP
On the water
Built for the sea,
not for the boat show.
RIBs, tenders and dinghies: the M10 fits a standard transom and handles on the tiller just like a combustion engine — in silence.
Performance
The speed you choose
decides the day you get.
A combustion engine burns almost as much at idle as under way. An electric motor does not. On the M10, easing off does not buy you a few percent: it changes the scale of the trip.
| Speed | Runtime | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 2.2 kn4.1 km/h | 68 h 40 | 152 NM281.9 km |
| 3.2 kn5.9 km/h | 17 h 30 | 55 NM102.3 km |
| 5.6 kn10.3 km/h | 4 h 36 | 25 NM47 km |
| 11.9 kn22 km/h | 1 h 18 | 15 NM28.5 km |
| 16.2 kn30 km/h | 45 min | 12 NM23.1 km |
Figures measured at full battery charge. Real-world range depends on installed capacity, hull, load, wind and sea state.
Three shaft lengths
One transom, one height.
Shaft length is chosen to match your transom height. Too short and the propeller ventilates; too long and it drags. The M10 comes in three lengths so the propeller works exactly where it should.

On board
Everything you need to know,
at a single glance.
Integrated colour display
Instant power, remaining range and GPS position, readable even in direct sunlight. No extra instruments needed.
CAN bus safety
Motor, battery and throttle talk to each other continuously. Magnetic kill switch, marine-grade waterproof connectors, reverse and boost lockout.
5-position trim
A single lever, five positions. The motor goes on and comes off in seconds: leave it fitted, stow it below deck or take it home.
72 V architecture
Why 72 V
when the market stays at 48.
48 V has become the de facto standard in electric leisure boating. It is not a regulatory ceiling, it is a habit.
At equal power, a higher voltage means less current. Less current means fewer heat losses, cooler cables and less copper to carry on board. On a compact outboard, that translates directly into better efficiency, higher power density and a lighter installation.
The M10 stays within the extra-low voltage range, with CAN bus supervision between motor, lithium battery and controls, marine-grade waterproof connectors and a magnetic kill switch.
Energy
Range is something you size.
The M10 runs on dedicated MB-6 lithium batteries, separate from the motor. You pick the capacity that matches your cruising programme instead of living with whatever an integrated pack offers.
- Expect 4 to 8 hours of use from one MB-6, depending on speed and conditions.
- Two MB-6 in parallel for long days or coastal passages.
- Full charge in 4 to 6 hours from a standard 220 V socket.
- Stows in a locker: the battery lifts out and carries by hand.
Controls
Tiller or helm station.
For installations without a tiller, the M10 remote unit offers the most compact footprint on the market, with a choice of control.
Remote unit
Ready-to-use configuration, designed for helm stations.
MT-1
Top mount, in single or twin engine configuration.
MT-2
Reversible side-mount lever, port or starboard.

Frequently Asked Questions — M10 Electric Outboard Motor
Which boats is the M10 compatible with?
The Momentum M10 is designed for tenders, sailboats (up to 10 tonnes), workboats, and inflatables. Its 3 available shaft sizes (short, long, and extra-long) make it adaptable to virtually any hull type and transom height.
How long does the battery last?
At cruising speed (3.2 knots), the M10 delivers up to 17.5 hours of autonomy with a 10 kWh battery — over 100 km of range. At low speed (2.2 knots), autonomy reaches an impressive 68.7 hours and 281 km range.
Is the M10 suitable for saltwater use?
Absolutely. The M10 uses a 100% seawater cooling circuit and features waterproof connectors throughout. It is built for continuous use in marine environments, whether coastal or offshore.
How difficult is the installation?
The M10 features a quick-release custom mounting interface — no special tools required. The multi-position trim system adjusts in seconds via a single lever, offering 5 trim positions for optimum performance in any sea state.
What certifications does the M10 carry?
The M10 electric outboard motor is CE certified and compliant with current European marine standards, making it suitable for both recreational and professional maritime use across Europe and beyond.
Why does the M10 electric outboard run on 72 V when most marine electric motors use a 48 V system?
48 V has emerged as the de facto standard in recreational electric boating, but it is not a regulatory ceiling. The 72 V architecture on the M10 electric outboard reflects a clear engineering choice: at equal power, a higher voltage means lower current, which reduces copper losses, cable heating and the conductor cross-section required. On a compact electric outboard like the M10, this translates directly into improved efficiency, higher power density and a lighter installation. The M10 remains within the Extra-Low Voltage range and benefits from a complete system architecture: CAN-Bus supervision between motor, lithium battery and controls, marine-grade waterproof connectors and a magnetic safety kill-switch.
Is the 72 V M10 electric outboard motor certified and compliant with European and international standards?
Yes. The M10 electric outboard is covered by an EU Declaration of Conformity under three European directives: the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (harmonised standard EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2020), the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU, and the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU on hazardous substances. For the North American market, the M10 also holds an FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity under CFR Title 47 Part 15 Subpart B. Declarations of conformity and associated test reports are available on request from your Momentum Electric distributor.
