ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC PROPULSION vs DIESEL or GAS ENGINE
• INCREASED RELIABILITY, SECURITY & COMFORT
An electric marine propulsion motor requires no warm up time. Just turn the key, adjust the throttle and GO. Power is immediately available, making maneuvering in the harbor easier and more accurate.
• LOW WEIGHT & COMPACT SIZE
The electric propulsion system weighs very little and is much smaller than the large diesel engine. Batteries can be placed where they will offer better weight optimization.
• EASY INSTALLATION
Due to the low weight of the electric motor system, it is easy to install and align without the need for heavy tools or a large crane. Many owners have done their own installations.
• LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS
Spend more time sailing and and save money on maintenance costs. The only parts in the electric propulsion requiring maintenance are the brushes and gear belt. No more oil changes! Winter lay up is simple; no anti-freeze needed.
• QUIET, CLEAN POWER
The electric marine propulsion system is virtually silent, making it easier to communicate while motoring. No oil, and no exhaust fumes mean a cleaner boat, a cleaner environment and more enjoyment for you!
