A sustainable choice for sailing

Electric outboard motors are an excellent environmentally friendly option. They do not produce harmful emissions like combustion engines and operate virtually silently, which offers a peaceful boating experience without causing any inconvenience to the environment. However, choosing the right motor requires attention to factors such as power, battery capacity and intended use. Here we discuss the most important aspects, from advantages and disadvantages to specific models and sets.

Silent and vibration-free : The silent operation makes electric boating comfortable and enjoyable, without disturbing vibrations or noise.

Low operating costs : No fuel costs and less maintenance than traditional combustion engines.

Efficient energy consumption : Electric motors use energy optimally, which ensures a longer sailing time per battery charge.

Better boating experience : No exhaust fumes or noise, ideal for quiet boat trips and nature reserves.

DISADVANTAGES

Higher purchase price : The initial costs, especially in combination with a lithium battery pack, are higher than those of combustion engines.

Limited sailing time and range : The range depends on the battery capacity and sailing speed. In case of intensive use, a larger battery pack may be necessary.

Lower top speed : Electric motors often have a lower top speed than their fuel-powered counterparts, making them less suitable for high-speed water sports activities.

Limited charging points : Charging facilities along the water are not yet equally accessible everywhere, which requires extra planning.
