🌊 Ride Harder. Go Further. Built for Maximum Thrust.

The Firduo 3.7KW Waterproof eFoil Kit is a complete, high-performance propulsion system engineered for electric surfboards, hydrofoils, and eFoil builds that demand more power. Combining the Manatee 100 Pro VESC, T2000 Underwater Thruster (2000W rated / 3700W peak), and VX3 Waterproof Remote, this kit delivers up to 32 KGF of thrust with full waterproof protection across the entire system — so you can focus on the ride, not the wiring.

Compared to the 2KW kit, the T2000 thruster delivers 73% more thrust at rated power, installed directly on the mast for lightweight hydrofoil applications

🔗 Compatible Builds & Recommended Pairings

  • eFoil / Hydrofoil boards — direct-drive mast mount; T2000 suited for lightweight hydrofoil applications
  • Electric surfboards (eSurf / Jetboard) — rear or bottom mount; use eSurf cruise mode on VX3
  • SUP / Kayak conversions — fin-box or custom bracket mount
  • Battery: 12S–16S LiPo or Li-ion pack recommended; Battery is not included. The Firduo FD13S5P(5C,20AH,936Wh) fully waterproof battery is also compatible with the T2000 thrusters
  • Recommended Connector: Firduo 120A–250A Waterproof Connector — for sealed battery-to-ESC connection rated for 120A+; Firduo 120A IP68 Waterproof Connector — for sealed ESC-to-motor connection rated for 120A+
  • VESC replacement: Firduo Manatee 100 VESC — if you need an ESC without Bluetooth, requiring higher continuous current and peak current.
  • Signal Connectors: Firduo 3-Core / 4-Core IP68 Waterproof Connector — for receiver, sensor, and hall signal wiring
  • Standalone pages: Manatee 100 Pro VESC | T2000 Thruster | VX3 Remote

🛠️ Setup Guide

  1. Check voltage compatibility — confirm your battery is within 4S–20S (14–84V). For T2000 full-power output, 12S–16S with ≥100A burst discharge is recommended.
  2. Mount the T2000 thruster — secure to your board's fin box or custom bracket. Route the 1300mm motor cable away from the propeller; ensure clear water flow around the 360° inlet.
  3. Connect ESC → Thruster — plug the 3× 8.0mm gold bullet connectors into the Manatee 100 Pro phase outputs (A-B-C). Rotation direction can be reversed in VESC Tool — no rewiring required.
  4. Connect ESC → Battery — use a waterproof connector rated ≥100A continuous (e.g. Firduo 120A IP68 connector). Verify voltage is within range before powering on.
  5. Pair VX3 Remote — power on ESC first, then remote. Follow the VX3 pairing procedure in the user manual.
  6. Configure via VESC Tool (recommended) — run motor auto-detection to optimize current limits and throttle curves for the T2000. Our support team can provide a pre-tuned config file on request.
  7. Water test — start at low throttle (0.5 kW / ~13 KGF) in calm water. Check all connections are dry and secure before each session. Gradually increase power as you confirm stable operation.

❓ FAQ

Q1: How is this 3.7KW kit different from the 2KW kit?
The key difference is the thruster: this kit includes the T2000 (2000W rated / 3700W peak / 32 KGF), while the 2KW kit uses the TUNA thruster (1500W / 18.5 KGF). The T2000 delivers 73% more thrust at rated power — It can provide higher speed. The ESC (Manatee 100 Pro) and remote (VX3) are identical across both kits.

Q2: Do I need to configure the ESC before use?
The kit works out of the box with default VESC settings for most builds. However, we strongly recommend running motor auto-detection via VESC Tool (free, PC/Mac/mobile) to optimize performance for the T2000's higher current range. Our support team can provide a pre-tuned config file on request. Bluetooth connectivity is also supported for wireless configuration.

Q3: What battery do I need, and is it included?
The kit supports 4S–20S (14–84V). For T2000 full-power eFoil use, a 12S–16S LiPo or Li-ion pack with minimum 52A continuous discharge (100A burst recommended) is ideal. Battery is not included. The Firduo FD13S5P (5C, 20AH, 936Wh) fully waterproof battery is compatible — contact us for build-specific recommendations.

Q4: Is the ESC truly waterproof? What about the connectors?
The Manatee 100 Pro ESC body is waterproof to 5 meters depth. The wire end (where cables exit) is not fully sealed — ensure this area is above the waterline or use waterproof silicone sealant / waterproof connectors at the cable exit point. The VX3 remote is IP67 rated (submersible to 1m for 30 min). The T2000 motor is fully sealed for continuous underwater operation.

Q5: Can I use this kit for an ROV, AUV, or non-surfboard application?
Yes. The T2000 thruster's wide voltage range and standard 8.0mm bullet connectors make it suitable for ROV, AUV, and USV applications. The UART/CAN interface on the Manatee 100 Pro supports autonomous or remotely operated vehicle integration. Contact us for application-specific wiring diagrams and VESC configuration support.
