Elco EP System - Electric Boat Propulsion at Its Finest
The Elco Electric Propulsion System is well engineered using advanced technologies for reliable and outstanding performance.
Elco Electric Motor: Cool, Quiet & Powerful
The entire propulsion system, excluding instrument panel and batteries, is contained in a water resistant cast aluminum finned housing that contains all of the electronics, AC motor, and safety devices. The system is mounted directly in place of a typical marine diesel or gas engine.
Whether on the sound, around the bay, along the lake, or on the river, it is highly valuable to protect our waters. The Elco Electric Propulsion System is a highly efficient and extremely durable alternative to fossil fuel options.
