Electric in-board motor 6 hp
(shaft-drive) Elco Electric Launch Incorporated

Elco's electric boat motors 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, fishing boats, hunting and duck boats, launches, rowboats, skiffs, sailboats, work boats, or most any displacement hull.

Elco's reliable electric boat motor drive systems 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 cases as direct drives to better fit smaller hull spaces. The boat motor systems operate from 24 to 72 volts using permanent magnet or shunt-wound DC motors and include, controllers, side mounted throttles, and instrument panels combined to provide proven, reliable operation for years of trouble free, low cost service.

When comparing the requirements for an electric boat motor to that of an existing diesel or gas engine, a rule of thumb is that an electric system will be one quarter of the engine it is replacing. Electric boat motor systems are high torque across the speed range and do not have the parasite loads of the gasoline or diesel engine so the horsepower required is less.
