Following the successful launch of the SEASIDE by TEMO range, the French manufacturer of electric boat motors confirms its rise at the Grand Pavois de La Rochelle boat show. Two sailboats, the Tofinou 7.9 and the Bente 24, are now sailing equipped with the brand new 3000POD*—a successful demonstration of power, silence, and integration.
*The 3000POD delivers 3kW of power, equivalent to 5 HP with a static thrust of 67 kg.
“The 3 kW TEMO pod perfectly meets the needs of our Tofinou 7.9. We were looking for an electric motor with removable batteries, and TEMO successfully developed a tailor-made propulsion system, with a "forward/reverse" control at the tiller end, offering immediate responsiveness—that's the main advantage of electric. Today, six of our boats are sailing equipped with the TEMO 3000POD, whether on the Atlantic coast, on lakes, or even in Australia.” - Benjamin Longy, from Tofinou's design office.
SEASIDE by TEMO – Modular innovation for electric recreational boating.
With its SEASIDE range, TEMO opens a new chapter in marine electrification. Designed with an entirely modular architecture and simplified integration, the range allows for configuring a complete custom system: choice of power, mechanical integration, batteries, displays, throttle, and chargers.
"On the Bente 24 — a 7.50-meter sailboat weighing 1.6 tons — we wanted to find an alternative to thermal outboards, which are often poorly positioned and not always easy to use. The pod seemed like an ideal solution: installed under the hull, it completely frees up space and ensures silent propulsion.
It was a first for us, and we found that installation is much simpler than a thermal inboard engine. No need for a chassis: four drillings are enough for fastening. In one morning, the mechanical part is set up, and the plug & play electrical connection is made with ease. For a professional, the whole system can be assembled in just a day and a half." - Loïc Begue, director of the Redo shipyard and importer for the Bente Yacht brand.

TEMO offers boaters and professionals four complete, modular, and scalable electric propulsion systems, consisting of motor pods (500W, 1000W, 3000W, or 6000W), removable batteries, and innovative controllers to propel sailboats and motorboats.
Ideal solutions for:
- Boat owners
- Rental companies and nautical bases
- Shipyards and construction professionals
- New builds as well as refits
Three versions are offered to best suit the needs of boaters:
- Rotary version (60°) with a rudder stock for optimal maneuverability
- More discreet fixed version for sailboats
- Outpod integration for minimalist external installation, between outboard and pod, to be integrated on the transom, in a well, or a locker.
A concrete example of integration: the OUTPOD·1000
Designed for simplified external integration, the OUTPOD·1000 is a 1000W 48V motor that attaches to the transom and stands out for:

"The particularity of the outpod lies in its attachment to the transom of the boat, unlike other models in the Seaside range, which are installed under the hull. Like an outboard motor, it offers easy access for maintenance. Its height is adjustable, allowing for optimized use or protection of the motor from shocks at anchor. This semi-open system relies on a remote battery pack inside the boat. The outpod also stands out for its control system and remote screen, allowing forward and reverse motion to be managed directly from the cockpit. The screen provides all essential information: range, power, and remaining battery level." - Luc Joessel, OEM Manager at TEMO.
