Overview
Transom-mounted and nearly invisible when retracted, the BlueSpin 11 kW is a retractable electric outboard designed for hybrid or fully electric propulsion. BlueNav's integrated retractable turbine with patented Dynamic Anti-Cavitation Thrust Control continuously optimizes efficiency and reduces cavitation, delivering smoother, quieter and more controlled navigation suitable for harbors, protected waters and tight approaches.

Design & Installation
Transom-mounted installation requiring no structural modification. The 11 kW preserves the compact footprint of the 8 kW model for easy integration on a wide range of boats. The motor retracts into the housing when not in use to protect the unit and maintain vessel aesthetics.

Operation & Use Cases
Designed to complement combustion engines in hybrid configurations or to provide standalone electric propulsion. Retracts in combustion mode and deploys in electric mode. Provides 360° maneuverability for silent departures, precision docking and access to shallow or confined areas.

Integrated Smart Navigation features

• Positioning: Virtual Anchor, Dynamic Positioning System (DPS), Drift Lock
• Docking: 360° Docking, Lateral Docking
• Autopilot: Heading Hold, Course Hold, Waypoint Tracking, Speed Control

Key technologies & user interfaces
Retractable turbine with patented Dynamic Anti-Cavitation Thrust Control; 3D Joystick control; Intelligent energy management (HMI). Standard 230 V charging. Reduced maintenance by design for professional and private applications.

Integration & Availability
Suitable for new builds and refits. Part of the BlueSpin family with multiple power levels (8 kW, 11 kW, 15 kW) to match different hull sizes and operational profiles. Software and navigation features integrate with common marine electronics and vessel control systems.
