Practical, high-performance, aesthetically pleasing and made in Brittany, the SEASIDE range of electric PODs by TEMO is an efficient, environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional diesel or internal combustion engines. At TEMO, we design innovative electric propulsion solutions for simpler, cleaner and more enjoyable boating. Discover the SEASIDE range of electric pods.
What is a POD?
What is a POD? A POD is an electric propulsion system integrated into a unit immersed under the boat's hull. The propeller, directly coupled to the motor shaft, is permanently submerged. A shorter drive shaft between the motor and propeller improves energy efficiency. This type of design reduces the size of the circuit, improving reliability, reducing maintenance and therefore the number of breakdowns.
Unlike thermal inboard motors, the pod's submerged installation reduces vibration and boat noise.
The propulsion system consists of five main components:
- The engine block and its propeller, connected to the power unit;
- The power box, which contains the motor control electronics and provides the link between the motor, the control screen and the battery;
- Control screen;
- The gas pedal handle;
- Compact, portable batteries.
Why adopt a POD?
Choosing an electric pod means opting for a modern propulsion system that revolutionizes the boating experience. Compared with combustion engines, it offers several major advantages:
- Greater energy efficiency: direct drive minimizes mechanical losses and optimizes power delivery.
- Less maintenance: no oil, no fuel, no filters to change! Unlike combustion engines, electric PODs require minimal maintenance, reducing costs and constraints for boaters.
- Enhanced navigation comfort: thanks to the absence of vibrations and noise, navigation becomes smoother and more pleasant.
- Space-saving: PODs are compact and modular, freeing up space on board and allowing them to be installed at the end of a worksite.
- An ecological alternative: zero CO2 emissions, no pollutant discharges into the water, and greater protection for marine ecosystems.
- Enhanced security: submerged under the hull and invisible from the quayside, the pod reduces the risk of snagging or theft.

TEMO has designed a new range of PODs from 450W to 3000W for home and boat builders.
TEMO PODs: propulsion designed with you in mind
At TEMO, we've designed our PODs to offer a reliable, high-performance and affordable solution for boaters and professionals alike.
Specific features of the TEMO PODs range :
- Materials: engine block protected by an aluminum shell, propellers in bronze or fiber-reinforced plastic.
- Fiber-reinforced plastic propellers designed and developed specifically for the Seaside TEMO range. Accounting with folding brass propellers.
- A simplified system for intuitive mounting. Quick to install and remove
- Separate electronic boxes: plug & play installation with robust, waterproof connectors.
- Charging and autonomy: you can choose to use one or several batteries, depending on your autonomy requirements. Batteries can be transported and recharged both on land and on board.
