Elco's electric drives and charging systems are available to boat builders, dealers, and private owners. They can be specified for new hulls or retrofitted in most displacement type boats such as classic replicas, deck boats, dinghies for boats, fishing boats, hunting and boat duck boats, launches, rowboats, skiffs, sailboats, work boats, or most any displacement hull up to 36 ft. in length.
Elco's reliable electric drives come in 1/2 (0.5) to 8 HP range with single and twin (or dual) motor configurations available. The motors can be installed as a ratio drive with a pulley reduction system and in some marine cases as direct drives to better fit smaller hull spaces. The drive systems operate from 24 to 72 volts using permanent magnet or shunt-wound DC motors and include, controllers, side mounted throttles, and instrument marine panels combined to provide proven, reliable operation for years of trouble free, low cost service.
