Vision Marine Files Patent for Dual-Mode Electric Trim Control

The proposed technology addresses a practical gap in electric propulsion, where adjusting an outboard during trailering, docking, or maintenance often requires full activation of the vessel's power system. By enabling independent control, the system aims to simplify serviceability and power management for users. The filing expands the intellectual property portfolio surrounding the company's E-Motion™ high-voltage platform, which has already been deployed across 25 different boat models.

CEO Alexandre Mongeon noted that the development is intended to bridge the gap between high-performance electric hardware and the daily realities of boat ownership. Beyond the motor itself, the patent adds to a broader suite of protections covering fault detection, secure communications, and cooling systems. The application is currently under review by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, with no guarantee yet on its final scope or approval timeline.
