The company currently produces two types of propulsion systems for electric boats: saildrives and shaftdrives. Oceanvolt has received several awards for its SD8.6 saildrive system, the latest being the 2013 Pittman Innovation Award given by SAIL Magazine for Oceanvolt's "compact robust design" featuring waterproof permanent magnet motor with closed circulation liquid cooling, single lever control with motor status shown by LEDs, and folding propeller which doubles as a hydrogenerator, silently extracting several kilowatts of electric power from the boat's forward motion while under sail.
