Canadian Yachting February 2023 - 37
This beautiful big Beneteau is now available with an electric motor instead of a diesel auxilliary. Electric is going mainstream.
the boat market, but the way to think of it
for electric boats is by weight and speed.
Lighter, slower boats require smaller batteries,
while heavier faster boats require
larger batteries.
Mercury's Avator prototype has a removable
battery pack.
Vision Marine Technologies' new 180E electric
outboard will be on the new Four Winns
H2e this spring.
Smaller boats are largely powered by
outboards, and there are more options
now than ever for dinghies and RIBS.
Torqeedo, the market leader, is a pioneer
in electric outboards and is joined by ePropulsion
and Elco as being the most widely
available choices in Canada. Power
ranges go from 1 kW (≈ 3HP) models for
dinghies and RIBS up to a 26.4kW model
that provides power similar to a 50HP ICE
motor.
A 25kW/≈50HP outboard is also available
from Pure Watercraft, and Mercury
demonstrated a prototype electric motor
last January with the announcement that it
will be available in 2023. Stay tuned.
Electric trolling motors from companies
like Minn Kota, Motor Guide,
Newport Vessels and Garmin are always
an option for fishing boats, and many people
are now using them on daysailers and
other small craft.
For sailboats with inboard motors, most
of the companies mentioned above have
the same power ranges available as their
outboard lines.
Moving up the weight and length class,
companies like Oceanvolt and Electric
Yacht have been building electric motors
for sailboats for years with rigs that are
designed to easily slip into the space
and mountings of popular diesel motors.
They also have Hydro Generating options
to charge the batteries while the boat is
under wind power.
One of the fastest rates of electric adoption
is actually coming from the yacht
manufacturers themselves. Beneteau, J
Boats and others now offer electric propulsion
as an option and some European
builders like Arcona are now offering it as
the standard propulsion.
Another area of growth for electric
boats is in pontoon boats, where the owners
are looking for a relaxing way to spend
a few hours on the water with friends.
The low noise and zero fumes from
electric motors help make the most of
that experience and the flat deck and
