How does an all-electric boat deal with debris? One of the smartest features of the ZeroJet electric jet system is Jet-Clear technology — designed to help keep you moving when debris enters the intake.
With the push of a button, the motor briefly runs in reverse to clear weeds, kelp or debris back out through the intake system. No stopping. No climbing overboard. No disruption to your ride.
Combined with quiet electric performance, instant torque and low-maintenance operation, ZeroJet is rethinking what modern boating should be. 🚤
Southern Power currently has Offshore Cruising Tenders vessels fitted with ZeroJet propulsion systems in stock and ready to go. Contact sales@southernpower for more info

Smarter boating isn’t seasonal. It’s all-year capability.
onboard heating and climate systems are designed to extend the true usability of your vessel beyond the summer months. By maintaining a stable internal temperature and managing humidity levels, they help prevent condensation build-up, protect interior materials, and improve overall onboard air quality.
✔️ Efficient diesel-powered heating with low energy draw
✔️ Active moisture and condensation control
✔️ Consistent onboard comfort in colder conditions
The result is not just comfort — it’s preservation, efficiency, and more usable days on the water throughout the year.
