Lymington-based Electric Outboard has been appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for the Momentum electric marine range of outboard motors, batteries and accessories.
The Momentum M10 15hp 10kW electric outboard is designed and manufactured in Singapore.
“The M10 is a real game-changer for any boater looking for an electric equivalent to their old petrol outboard,” says Algie Bennett, founder and owner of Electric Outboard.
“Its instant torque feels more like 25hp off the line, getting most smaller boats on the plane almost immediately.”
He added: “We’ve tested it on a Highfield 310, Bantam 330S, Rigiflex 360 and eGuardian 420 with two people plus equipment and we’ve consistently hit 15-16 knots.”
The M10 tiller package weighs 22kg, plus its 6kg transom mount and its 37kg MB6 battery.
The motor is suitable for a RIB, tender or small sailing boat with no tools required. The transom bracket clamps onto the boat, with the motor sliding onto the bracket and locked in place with a secure sliding clip.
One cable is used for both power and data which is plugged into the motor and then the battery prior to use.
Compact battery
The MB6 battery has been designed to be compact enough to be stowed away in a standard fuel locker while delivering the high power density.
Other design features include a safety button at the end of the tiller to ensure the user cannot accidentally go into reverse or straight to full power in forward.
In addition, the tiller control only allows the first 25% of power to be used before the safety button needs to be engaged to prevent wasting power.
“The team at Momentum have put a huge amount of thought into the design of its M10 electric outboard and MB6 battery, demonstrating real consideration when it comes to real-life usability of this great bit of kit,” continued Algie.
It’s an outstanding piece of engineering and design.

“It’s an outstanding piece of engineering and design and we’re super proud to be able to bring it to UK boaters.”
JC Lew, naval architect and co-founder of Momentum electric marine, added: “Momentum is excited to partner with Electric Outboard for the UK market.
“We believe that they have deep experience in the industry across a range of applications and together with Momentum’s innovative motor technology, we will provide ideal solutions for many boat users and enthusiasts in the UK.”
The M10 is available in both short and long shaft options with remote steering and throttle.
The motor will be on show at Seawork and Southampton International Boat Show 2025.
