Overview
The DarwinFPV SeaWater 2006.5 is a brushless motor designed for FPV drones that need improved corrosion resistance for marine or water-adjacent environments. It is rated IP67 waterproof and is intended to withstand seawater exposure; after use in seawater, rinse the motor surface with fresh water as soon as possible to remove salt residues.
Key Features
- Seawater 2006.5 marine motor concept with a small increase in torque
- Multiple anti-rust processes and an anti-rust upgrade
- Dynamic orange dual-tone design
- Developed for 3.5-inch ducted FPV drones and 5–6-inch long-range FPV drones
- Compared to 2004 motors: 36% thrust increase; maximum thrust exceeds 1 kg (test data shows up to 1086 g at 24 V)
- Anti-rust treatments described: magnet oxidation processing, stator electrophoresis coating, titanium alloy shaft, stainless steel bearings
- Upgraded rust resistance details: electrophoretic rust prevention process (V3 vs V2 is referenced), with lab tests noting smooth, like-new surface after over 12 hours of seawater immersion

Details

Built for wet, salty environments, the SeaWater 2006.5 combines IP67 waterproofing with multi-step anti-rust protection and a torque-focused design.

Designed to balance thrust and control for 3.5-inch ducted CineWhoops and 5–6-inch long-range FPV builds.

Anti-corrosion upgrades include treated magnets, electrophoresis-coated stator, titanium alloy shaft, and stainless steel bearings.



Key specs at a glance: 2200KV on 24V (6S), up to 20.2A and 484.8W, with a compact 24.6×20mm footprint.

Test data with GEMFAN D90S props at 24V lists thrust up to 1086g at full throttle.

In the box: the 2006.5-2200KV motor, M2×6 hex screws, and DarwinFPV stickers.
