Throttle
The throttle puts every function within easy reach. With a simple twist, you can switch seamlessly between Propulsion, Port, Hydrogeneration and Charging modes directly from the cockpit while precisely controlling the motor’s output. The integrated display provides live performance data, battery status and system information, giving you complete control at a glance.
Four modes, one twist
Each turn of the throttle selects a mode built for a different moment on the water – cruising under motor, manoeuvring in the harbour, recharging under sail and charging at the dock.

Propulsion mode
Once you’re out of the harbour, switch to Propulsion Mode. The rotating drive locks into position and delivers instant electric power exactly when you need it. The result is smooth acceleration, silent operation and efficient cruising.
Port mode
Port mode is designed to optimise vessel performance in confined spaces, providing enhanced control and precision during docking and manoeuvring.
Hydrogeneration mode
Switch to Hydrogeneration Mode while sailing and let the Searine M360° recharge your batteries. The saildrive automatically rotates 180°, positioning the propeller to face forward. As water flows through the propeller, it turns into a highly efficient generator, converting your boat’s speed into electrical energy.

At around 7 knots of boat speed, the system can generate up to 1500 W, extending your range while you sail.
Mobile app
Stay connected to your Searine-system wherever you are on board. The mobile app gives you full control of the system, allowing you to switch between operating modes, monitor battery status, power consumption, hydrogeneration and remaining range—all in real time from your smartphone.
Charging mode
Whether you’re staying overnight in the marina or making a quick stop, charging is simple. Connect to a standard shore power outlet and recharge your batteries overnight, or take advantage of the increasing number of fast chargers being installed in marinas across Europe for even shorter charging times.
A standard 230V / 16A shore power connection – found in most European marinas – delivers up to 3.68 kW. With three B48 batteries (14.4 kWh), that means approximately 4–4.5 hours from empty to full, so a normal stop in the marina is often enough and an overnight stay gives plenty of time.
Where 32A shore power is available, charging is faster when the onboard charging system is configured for it. And under sail, Hydrogeneration mode keeps putting energy back into the batteries.
