eBox (motor controller)
What the eBox does, which one fits your board, and the data cables it uses.
The eBox is the brain of the eFoil. It sits inside the board's hatch compartment and connects three things: the battery (power), the hand controller (wireless Bluetooth throttle), and the propulsion motor. It comes complete with cooling-line connections, mounting plate, power connector, and data cable.
eBoxes are strictly generation- and board-specific. You cannot run a LIFT3 eBox in a LIFT4 board, or vice versa. Always specify your exact board model and size when ordering a replacement.
Which eBox fits my board?
eBox | Compatible boards |
|---|---|
LIFT5/LIFTX | All LIFT5, all LIFTX |
LIFT4 | LIFT4, LIFT3 F |
LIFT3 F | LIFT3 F, New LIFT3 F (two sizes: 4'9", 5'4") |
LIFT3 | LIFT1, LIFT2, LIFT3 (carbon only) |
If you have a fiberglass board (LIFT3 F or New LIFT3 F), you need the LIFT3 F eBox or LIFT4 eBox — not the LIFT3 eBox.
Data cables (eBox ↔ battery)
Fischer (5-pin) — current standard (LIFT3 eBox and newer)
ODU (8-pin) — older first-generation connector
Adapter Data Cable — Fischer to ODU bridges the two if your eBox and battery use different connectors
Replacement Data Cable — ODU (8-pin) is a 10.5" cable for older setups
