Mercury Avator 5hp Electric Outboard 20ELRC

The Mercury Avator 5hp Electric Outboard 20ELRC expands the Avator 20e lineup with a 20-inch long shaft, making it ideal for boats with taller transoms. Designed to deliver performance comparable to a 5hp four-stroke outboard, this electric motor provides smooth acceleration, instant torque, and near-silent operation—without exhaust fumes or direct emissions.

Whether cruising, fishing, or navigating shallow waters, the 20ELRC adapts to your day with scalable energy and refined control.

Features and Performance

At the core of the Avator 20ELRC is an industry-first transverse flux electric motor producing 2200 watts of prop-shaft output. This advanced design delivers immediate torque and efficient power transfer, driving a high-thrust three-blade propeller optimized for extended runtime.

Remote models use a modular battery system that requires an Avator Power Center and a minimum of two 2300Wh batteries (sold separately). The Power Center distributes power throughout the system and can charge up to four batteries from a single charging port, allowing you to expand range as needed. With electric starting, remote control steering, and manual trim and tilt, operation is smooth, intuitive, and precise.

Why You Should Buy It

If you need long-shaft compatibility with scalable electric power, the Mercury Avator 20ELRC is a smart choice. It combines advanced electric propulsion, modular energy management, and the trusted engineering of Mercury Marine. Perfect for eco-conscious boaters and emission-restricted waterways, this outboard delivers clean performance without compromise.
