Forget about brackets, brackets and more or less half-baked (and DIY) solutions where to house the heavy outboard when you are not using it on your dinghy. With Revolve ‘s new Mitek inboard outboard, you solve the root of the problem, because it installs directly on the tender’s transom and doesn’t move from there; in fact, if you look closely, it moves…on itself, negating the clutter. Mitek is a Ravenna-based company that manufactures inboard, pod, saildrive and outboard electric motors with maximum power ratings (for now) of up to 40 hp equivalent, excluding the inboard range that includes more powerful models. Revolve is an engine that takes a little something from all the models produced so far but stands outside all the ranges, since it is in fact an inboard-outboard engine.
What differentiates Revolve from other tender engines
The company designed the Revolve especially forinstallation on dinghies, given its very convenient retractable locking mechanism. In fact, once the use of the tender is over, it is enough to press a button to bring the motor to the “closed” position. At this point Revolve will rotate on its axis and will occupy only the transom space, without protruding below the bottom of the tender. With the same button it is likewise possible to return the engine to the “open” position with the propeller submerged in the water when you want to use it. Inside the chassis can be housed a motor with a power rating (your choice) of 6, 1o, 15 or 20 hp equivalent depending on the battery pack you choose to install. The outer casing is made of a special anodized aluminum texture, a finish that protects the internal areas of the motor and prevents its mechanical parts-even those on paper very delicate parts that deal with its rotation and closure-from corroding and rusting.
This motor is 100% electric, patented and received honorable mention in its category (propulsion) at the DAME Awards during the last Metstrade, the annual boat accessories fair in Amsterdam. It is most useful whether you keep your dinghy on board or store it inside a garage, since in either case, with a traditional outboard (thermal or electric) you have to move the engine out of the dinghy after use, and sometimes it is a major weight to move not without some effort. With Revolve the problem of mounting and dismounting the outboard, which is even more inconvenient if you are in adverse sea and/or weather conditions, is nullified: you only have to do the initial installation.
