FAQ
What waters is E498 intended for?
Lakes, reservoirs, inland waterways and protected near-shore areas. Recommended use is shallow-water lure fishing, guiding, clubs and rental operations.
Is there an exposed propeller?
No. Propulsion is an integrated electric jet with a protected intake. An external bow trolling motor is optional redundancy, not the standard layout.
What does station keeping include?
GNSS station keeping, heading hold and current-hold mode — intended to hold the boat near grass edges, flats, pilings and structure.
How is the battery specified?
The electric battery system is configurable by market package. Extended packs, fast charging and a cold-weather package are options.
What is the order path?
Sample boats and small pilot orders are available. Standard order lead time is 4 months; custom order 6 months. Warranty is 1 year standard.
Are dealerships exclusive?
Initial cooperation is non-exclusive. France, Germany and other active lake and reservoir markets are the first focus.
