EP Carry is not a typical disposable electric outboard for four good reasons

  1. Robustness: We use high quality materials and we don’t immerse our electronics in a pod underwater. Our motor does not require anodic protection for saltwater use and our electronics prevent prop breakage.
  2. Repairability: EP Carry Gen 2 motors are modular so you can swap broken components without the hassle and time of shipping an entire motor to our factory. See the Replacement Parts section in our store.
  3. Customizability: When your needs change, so can your motor. We now carry 4 shaft lengths, 4 mounting options, tiller options, a remote throttle option, and a remote rope-steering/ tilt option.
  4. Future-Proof: Our motors accept 24V and 36V batteries for full power operation. It also runs on 12V at lower power, or add our 12V boost kit for full power. An EP Carry will never become obsolete when a proprietary or internal battery becomes no longer available.

Real reviews from real adventures.

  • Verified Owner: “Great product and company!”

    I’ve had the first gen EP Carry for 6 years. We have it matched to a Gig Harbor Navigator 10, and the pair are very well matched. We often use the setup with a family of 4 (our kids are under 10) and gear and the motor has no problem moving the dinghy at hull speed. What I really appreciate is the repairability of the system. Ours had a failure long out of warranty, but with a few parts I was able to get it working better than new again.

  • Verified Owner: “Great Package”

    This is a great package for the obvious reason that it has a great range/speed choice for such a light, compact package. I also like the easy tilt up feature, the locking mechanism and the key insert.

  • Verified Owner: “Just what I need”

    My Gen 2 EP Carry does exactly what I hoped it would do and looks great doing it. A masterful bit of engineering in a handy, quiet, simple package. I took it to Maine for a long week and mounted it on the back of a cheapo inflatable (SeaEagle 9) to get out to my mooring, and it motored right along despite tides and winds. I managed to snag some seaweed at one point but the instructions to pull up the shaft and clear the propeller manually worked well. I’m going to build a wooden pram soon that should give the engine a better chance at reaching warp speed.
