The Mercury Avator 7.5e integrated display allows the electric outboard motor to share all the info the user needs for their electric marine journey. It was designed to offer a premium appearance and be conveniently placed on the motor to provide quick access to motor data via navigation buttons. The user can select engine speed, battery percentage, and range estimates. Leveraging common colors – Green for Good and Red for Warnings/Alarms allows the user to quickly assess the motors status at a glance.
Idea
Marine motors need to communicate critical information to the user much like the gauges in your car. With the Mercury Avator 7.5e electric outboard motor being designed as a portable product one of the goals was to minimize the components required to use it, as a portable tiller handle controlled motor. By incorporating the display into the cowl of the outboard, the development team was able to create a way to inform the user without adding additional hardware. This kept the experience simple and self-contained with a great viewing angle for a wide variety of users.
Form
The Mercury Avator 7.5e was designed to be portable and is intended to be used in various marine applications. The need to have an integrated display was critical. By positioning the display partially into the exterior front panel, it was positioned in the best viewing angle possible with minimal glare. This allows the user to be informed on the motors state of heath, and battery level while underway. A remote display version was also created to support larger boat applications when the user has a steering wheel and throttle controls. This allows the user to get the same benefits as the integrated display with two different mounting options.
Function
The display leverages intuitive interaction buttons placed directly below the display so the electric motor and battery level information is always at the ready. No matter if you are boating on the sunniest days or trying to seek refuge during a storm. The information is always ready and easy to view.
Differentiation
The full color integrated display sets the bar high for portable marine electric outboard displays. No other portable electric outboard in the marine industry can match the easy-to-read segmented display technology. The full color capabilities allow the information to jump of the screen if a low battery or motor problem should arise.
