Ultima’s powerful new 3.0 electric outboard boasts even greater range

Date: 30-Oct-2023

Ultima’s new 3.0 electric outboard comes with an even more powerful battery, giving an impressive almost 50% increase in range.

The latest model’s lightweight Lithium battery has been upgraded from 20.3Ah to 30.0Ah meaning the new Ultima 3.0 can now cover 50km at around 3.5km/h; 23km at just over 5km/h and even 8km at full speed (8.8km/h).

Run time has also been substantially increased to almost an hour at full speed; 4½ hours at half throttle and a whopping 15 hours at slow.

Equivalent to a 3-4hp petrol outboard, the new Ultima 3.0 features a powerful 110lb-thrust brushless motor, making it ideal for use on a wide range of dinghies, tenders and inflatables. It comes complete with an easy-to-use digital speed control on an adjustable handle and is fitted with an emergency magnetic kill switch.

Thanks to its easily removable, rechargeable, LiPo battery (which includes a handy LED status indicator) and its lightweight, compact design, the Ultima 3.0 is easy to transport and store, with a total weight of just 17.3kg (including the 7.6kg battery).

With a practical 540mm shaft, the Ultima 3.0 is designed to be used in both fresh and salt water and is available now through Lusty and Blundell’s nationwide network of leading marine dealers and at their three showrooms in Albany, Whangarei and Tauranga.
