Avator Electric Tiller Outboards

Mercury Avator Electric Tiller Outboards

For nearly 100 years, Mercury Marine has been a leading innovator in the boating industry. Now, Mercury has pushed the envelope again with its new Avator electric tiller outboard motor. Featuring an all-in-one propulsion package that includes the motor, battery, and electronics, the Avator is one of the most remarkable pieces of engineering the boating world has seen in recent history.

The Avator electric motor produces zero emissions during operation - a revolutionary step forward for sustainability in the boating industry. Not only is this good for the environment, but it also means no foul-smelling exhaust fumes during operation!

Compared to conventional gas outboard motors, the Avator has fewer moving parts, meaning less maintenance is required to keep it running. Spend less time in the garage, and more time on the water. Lithium-ion batteries are easily charged and can be swapped mid-operation, giving you greater range.

The electric motor also ensures that the Avator is one of the quietest and smoothest outboard tiller motors available today.

With the release of the new generation of electric outboard motors, we’re thrilled to offer our customers the new:

• Avator 7.5e 15” shaft electric tiller outboard
• Avator 7.5e 20" shaft tiller outboard
• Avator 7.5e 25" shaft electric tiller outboard

NuWave Marine also carries a full range of Avator rigging and controls, Avator accessories, and more.

What is the tiller arm on an outboard?

A tiller is a lever used to steer a watercraft, and is usually attached directly to an outboard motor or rudder post in larger watercraft. By pushing or pulling on the tiller, the helmsman can steer the boat left or right.

On the Mercury Avator tiller motor, the tiller also doubles as a carrying handle after it has been disconnected from the boat, making it extremely easy to transport.

Next to the tiller handle on the Avator is a digital readout that provides information on the motor’s operation, including range estimates and a battery life meter.

What is the difference between a tiller motor and a remote-control motor?

The new Mercury electric tiller outboard is available in both tiller and remote-control configurations, and it’s important to understand which is right for your boat.

A tiller configuration features a built-in handle that allows the person at the control to directly adjust the direction the motor and rudder is pointed. Speed is controlled by twisting the throttle one direction or another to go faster or slower.

On the other hand, a remote-control configuration more closely resembles a car’s steering, with a steering wheel that controls direction and typically a lever or dial that controls speed. These inputs are then relayed to the motor to steer the boat.

What are the advantages of a tiller outboard?

The main advantages of using a tiller configuration like the Mercury Avator tiller motor are:

• Small size
• Better control
• Ease of operation

Firstly, tiller outboard motors are small, light, and attach to the exterior of the boat. This helps save space on smaller watercraft, where space is a premium and needs to be saved for passengers and whatever cargo they bring on.

Another advantage of the Mercury electric tiller outboard motor is how responsive and easy to use it is. With a tiller configuration, adjusting the steering is as easy as moving your arm back and forth, while changing speed is as simple as a twist of your wrist.

Many experienced boaters also feel that a tiller configuration provides better feedback, and helps you better understand how the motor is performing in the water.
