Mercury 35ELRC 5HP Equivalent – Avator Electric 20″ Shaft Remote Control

Mercury Avator 35e RL Electric Remote

The Mercury Avator 35e RL is a revolutionary electric outboard designed to deliver 5HP gas-equivalent thrust with zero emissions and remote digital control for the US marine market. Utilizing advanced Transverse Flux motor technology and a 3.7 kW input, this 48V DC system weighs only 47 lbs (excluding battery), offering an unmatched power-to-weight ratio for sustainable coastal boating. This 20-inch long shaft model is configured for remote mechanical steering, making it the perfect choice for small fiberglass consoles and sailboats. Our sustainable marine propulsion systems guarantee the digital precision and silent operation necessary for modern eco-conscious navigation.

Operational performance for the Avator 35e RL is achieved through a 3.5 kW propulsion output, providing a consistent torque curve that rivals traditional 5HP gas engines. The Avator digital control system ensures immediate throttle response and high thermal efficiency without the noise or vibration of internal combustion. Manufactured in the USA, this highly corrosion-resistant electric motor incorporates SmartCraft Connect for seamless data integration with modern digital helm displays and NMEA 2000 networks.

Technical Specifications of Mercury Avator 35e RL

• Innovative Transverse Flux motor architecture delivers high torque and immediate acceleration with silent electric efficiency.
• 48V DC nominal voltage system integrates seamlessly with Mercury Avator lithium-ion battery modules for consistent range.
• Remote mechanical steering compatibility offers a professional digital helm experience for small center console boats and tenders.
• SmartCraft Connect allows for real-time monitoring of battery life, range-to-empty, and diagnostics via integrated digital displays.
• Manual tilt system paired with a lightweight 47 lbs frame allows for effortless engine lifting in shallow coastal estuaries.
• Zero-emissions propulsion makes this unit ideal for use in restricted waterways and eco-sensitive American lakes.

Transverse Flux Electric Propulsion

The Avator 35e RL leverages a transverse flux motor that generates high torque with minimal friction. This design provides the smooth, reliable low-end thrust required for pushing sailboats and small consoles through harbor currents without the vibration or exhaust fumes associated with traditional gas-powered kicker motors.

Digital Drive-By-Wire Controls

Mercury’s Avator digital controls replace traditional mechanical linkages with instantaneous digital responsiveness. This drive-by-wire technology provides captains with perfectly smooth throttle adjustments and an integrated awareness of power consumption, ensuring safe and predictable maritime transit during long-range coastal runs.

20-Inch Long Shaft Auxiliary

The 20-inch shaft ensures the propeller operates at the optimal depth for maximum hydrodynamic grip on high transoms and sailboat auxiliary brackets. Its whisper-quiet operation is a game-changer for wildlife observation and peaceful evening cruises in American coastal backwaters where noise pollution is a concern.

Mercury Factory Warranty

The Mercury Avator 35e is protected by a comprehensive 3-Year Limited Warranty for American boat owners. This factory-backed coverage covers the motor and digital control system, ensuring long-term maritime reliability and reflecting a commitment to next-generation electric performance.

Maintenance & Longevity

Electric outboards significantly reduce maintenance by eliminating spark plugs and fuel filters. However, regular inspection of the 48V electrical connections is vital. Pro Tip from the Shop: Always ensure the high-voltage battery terminals are clean and free of salt residue; use the SmartCraft app to track your “range-to-empty” data to maximize your time on the water without power anxiety in restricted waterways.
