electric propulsion

---

Electric propulsion is an ideal way to push a sailboat.  It may also be appropriate for some trawler displacement boats:

• Ideal for day sailing - less than 4hrs motoring.
• Good for coastal cruising when combined with ranger extending portable generator.
• Ideal for long range cruiser when combined with solar and marine generator.

VALUE

• Anodized aluminum frame dissipates heat and thrust management is a compact package.
• Weatherproof throttle control and key switch 
• Digital display provides feedback on motor operation and battery state of charge (SOC)
• 14 gearing ratios for max performance with tooth timing belt 
• Includes shaft coupler, power switch, Class-T fuse, fuse holder and relay  complete the package. Add batteries and charger to complete system
• Three year  warranty and superior support from design to commissioning 

Plug-n-Play System vs DIY  

• DIY kits are a box of parts.  Not assembled and tested with limited warranty.
• Electric Yacht systems are complete: add batteries, charger, and cables 
• Compare to the competition…we think you will agree an Electric  Yacht QuietTorque™ electric propulsion motor provides the best value  available today

TERMS YOU HEAR

Diesel “Equivalency”

Electric propulsion is very defined as it has a flat torque curve (torque is rotational power).  when comparing electric to diesel electric is superior at slow to medium and equal to diesel at higher RPMs.

Rating Systems - HP vs KW

746 watts = 1 hp

Diesel engines (BHP) is 10% to 30%.over stated for marine engines at the propeller (PHP)

The Propulsion Curve

The power required to push a displacement hull with a waterline  length of 25’ – 40’ will increase 1.5- 2 times for each knot of speed. 

Maneuvering Thrust

Electric propulsion maneuvering is superior  performance to gas or diesel.engine of higher rating. Electric propulsion with controlled power from 0 RPM to full RPM, makes for superior maneuvering  performance. 

Instant power, no warm up and quiet operation of an  electric motor make for superior overall performance.  

VALUE

• DC electric propulsion motor systems
• Stainless Steel frame and cover
• Compact size
• Weatherproof throttle control and key switch 
• Geared performance with tooth timing belt 
• Includes shaft coupler, 
• Seven year  warranty 

Plug-n-Play System vs DIY  

• DIY kits are a box of parts.  Not assembled and tested with limited warranty.
• Thoosa  systems are complete: add batteries, charger, and cables 

Not for all.

The typical electric boat will have the same range as if they left the dock with about 1.5 to 2 gallons of fuel.  If you sailed 20 times and used less than 20gallons of fuel - it great.  If you sailed 20 times and used 200 gallons of fuel, buy a powerboat.

Electric propulsion will give the sailor another tool to use when sailing.  Add a little power and you can sail faster and point higher.Not for all.

In the marina and around the dock much safer - ultra speed control - forward to reverse and back - quiet to talk to the crew and those on the dock - quiet to help setting an anchor.
