Measuring 41 inches in total length and weighing 16.1 pounds including its built-in battery, the motor retains the tiller control which doubles as a carrying handle of the original while incorporating a new mounting bracket mechanism said to be more durable and easier to use.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/53799_epropulsionelitelongshaft_362926.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/53799_epropulsionelitelongshaft_362926.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/53799_epropulsionelitelongshaft_362926-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ePropulsion\u2019s eLite 500W Long Shaft electric outboard is designed for drift boats and inflatable fishing boats with transoms over 15 inches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>ePropulsion Americas president Tom Watson says the unit\u2019s direct-drive motor and advanced design propeller deliver high efficiency with near-silent operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were thrilled with the industry and market reaction to the launch of our versatile eLite and we\u2019re excited to enhance that line with the introduction of the eLite Long Shaft,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether looking for a reliable motor for an inflatable fishing boat or tender, the perfect engine should be lightweight, easy to mount and remove, easy to use and provide the range and speed for almost any conditions. We considered all of this when creating the next generation of the eLite and we\u2019re confident these outboards check all of the boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard features on the eLite Long Shaft include multiple trim and tilt angles, adjustable steering resistance and shaft length, and a shallow-water mode.
