Information on using the Plugboats Electric Inboard Guide
The top of this web page is an Illustrated Guide with photos of the motors and specifications to the right. At the bottom of the page is a Sortable/Searchable Table that lets you compare motors easily. If you are going to be using the table extensively the page is best viewed on a computer rather than smartphone or tablet.
- Illustrated Guide
The motors are organized in alphabetical order by manufacturer, then by model line. For the specifications we have tried to make it a user friendly as possible. If there are 3 models in the line, we will give the specs for each model with a comma in between. If there are many models, we give a range from without lining the specs up with specific models.
- Sortable/Searchable Table
The table can be searched with any keyword – manufacturer, for instance, or can be sorted by any of the columns: Peak kiloWatt power, Continuous kiloWatt power, estimated HP equvalent, Voltage, Dimensions (Length, Width, Height), Weight, RPMs, Type of motor and cooling system (air, liquid, water), and whether it is regenerative – capable of recharging when the boat is under sail propulsion.
All specifications are taken from the manufacturers’ websites or brochures without any independent verification. There is a lot of variety in the way manufacturers detail the attributes of their products, particularly when it comes to ‘Power’. Some use peak power as the measurement, some use continuous power, and there are other variations. Some quote minimum RPMs for their motors, others quote maximum RPMs. There is also no set standard for ‘horsepower equivalent’. We have tried to present the information as close as possible to an ‘apples to apples’ comparison.
The photographs and drawings are from the manufacturers’ websites and are not shown in any consistent scale.
Power Ratings – measured in kiloWatts kW power rating quoted is taken from the manufacturer website. Some quote only peak power or continuous power, some quote input power and output power. We have indicated what the measurement is, although in the table we have used peak power as equal to input power and continuous as equal to output. power. HP is ‘HorsePower equivalent’ so that you can get an idea of the power of the motor in comparison to a HP rating you might be more familiar with. As noted above, there is a lot of leeway in how this is interpreted. When manufacturers have provided an HP equivalent we have used that.
- IN THE TABLE , when no HP equivalent has been provided, we have used the continuous power and multiplied it by 1.3 to indicate HP equivalent. We have noted it with an asterisk * when we have done this.
Voltage is most often referred to on the sites as simply ‘Voltage’. Some indicate nominal or peak, we have used nominal and indicated if peak is also referenced.
Current is noted when the manufacturer supplies the information. It is not included in the table.
Torque is shown in Newton metres, Nm. A Nm is about 3/4 of a foot-pound, or conversely, a foot-pound is about 1 and 1/3 Nm.
Dimensions of the motors and shaft are shown in millimetres – mm. There are about 300 mm in 1 foot, or about 25 mm in 1 inch.
Weight is in kilograms. A kilogram is 2.2 pounds.
Motor Types There are advantages and disadvantages to each kind of electric motor. Some manufacturers use abbreviations to describe their motors, others use the full words. We have used whatever the manufacturer prefers, but when abbreviations are used, this is what they mean:
BLDC: BrushLess Direct Current
PMAC: Permanent Magnet Alternating Current

Buyers guide to electric boat motors (2023)
By Author Fiona McGlynn
Posted on Last updated: August 3, 2023
Considering making the switch to an electric boat motor? With electric vehicles now commonplace on the roads, it’s no wonder so many boaters are curious about electric boats.
While electric boat motors have been around for a while, in the last several years the technology has taken huge leaps, resulting in more powerful motors, longer-lasting batteries, and ultimately more options for recreational boat owners.
Today, many types of boats can be outfitted with an electric propulsion system including pontoon boats, sailboats, jon boats, powerboats, fishing boats, yachts, and trawlers . If your boat’s combustion engine is in the range of 1 to 135 hp (.75 to 100 kW), you should be able to find an electric substitute.
While electric boating hasn’t gone mainstream—it’s estimated that close to 2% of recreational boats are electric—it’s still a great time to be thinking about making the switch, particularly if you own a tender, sailboat, or boat on a green lake where combustion engines are prohibited.

Benefits and drawbacks of electric boat motors
Electric marine motors offer several advantages over internal combustion engines:
- They’re completely silent .
- No noxious fumes or smelly exhaust gases to deal with.
- Instant torque. Electric propulsion provides instant torque, giving you better maneuverability and more consistent speeds in choppy conditions.
- Lightweight. An electric setup (including motor, batteries, and generator) typically weighs less than its diesel counterpart.
- No fuel cost. Charging an electric boat may cost a couple of dollars per charge.
- Easy to maintain. Imagine the maintenance on an outboard with no gas, spark plugs, or oil! Electric motors are simple, more reliable, and virtually maintenance-free.
- Renewable power. Once you’ve gone electric you can get power from renewable sources like wind generators and solar panels.
- Better for the planet. Electric marine motors don’t produce water pollution or produce harmful emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbon (HC).
- Range. The greatest drawback of electric boats is their limited range, which is often measured in the 10s of miles. Range is limited because batteries don’t have the same energy density as fuel — they can’t provide the same energy, pound-for-pound as a tank of gas. A good battery monitoring system, one that displays the remaining range in real-time, can help boaters manage energy consumption and ease range anxiety. For those who want to go farther afield, hybrid propulsion may be a better option.
- Upfront cost. This new technology isn’t cheap. For example, a small electric outboard boat motor may sell for two-and-a-half times the cost of a gas outboard. However, prices are expected to come down as the industry reaches scale.
Types of electric boat motors
Electric outboard boat motors.
Some of the first electric outboards to hit the recreational boating market were smaller electric motors, typically used as trolling motors on fishing boats.
Today, it’s possible to buy far more powerful electric outboard motors in the 1 to 80 hp (.75 to 60 kW) range , with ever more powerful versions hitting the market each year. In 2022, Norwegian start-up, Evoy launched the world’s most powerful outboard to date, the 225kW Storm, a 300-hp beast of an electric outboard!
The range on electric outboard boat motors varies dramatically depending on your boat, total weight, propellor, and battery capacity .
The range also depends on how fast you want to travel. If you go slowly you’ll have a much greater range.
For instance, at a slow speed (5 knots) Torqeedo’s Deep Blue 50R , a 50 kW motor (80 hp equivalent) with a 40 kWh battery, has a listed range of 33-100 nm. But at full throttle (20-25 knots), the listed range drops to 16-20 nm.
To get a better sense of what range to expect on your boat (at both low and high speeds), you can look at the manufacturer’s website. See our list of electric outboard brands below.
One of the great things about electric outboards is that they can use renewable power sources. So, for instance, you could plug your boat into a portable solar panel while picnicking and get an extra boost for the trip home.
Some electric outboard boat motors can even generate power! Motors with hydro regeneration capabilities can charge the batteries while the boat is being towed or under sail.
While hydro regeneration is a fairly new feature for electric outboards, some manufacturers, like EPropulsion, are offering it across their outboard product line.
Key features of electric outboard boat motors
Each electric outboard motor brand has slightly different standard offerings and add-on features. Here are some of the key features and options to look for.
- Waterproof. Some electric outboards are fully sealed and designed to withstand immersion
- Remote controls. Choose between tiller and remote throttle controls
- On-board computers . Some electric outboards come with chartplotter connectivity, navigation functions, sonar, GPS anchoring, and autopilot features
- Built-in or stand-alone batteries. Some of the smaller motors come with built-in batteries, while the larger ones have separate battery packs
- Battery monitoring and tracking systems that calculate and display the remaining range in real-time
- Shaft length. Electric outboards come in both short and long shaft lengths to accommodate a variety of applications.
- Hydro regeneration capabilities
Electric outboard manufacturers
These electric outboard boat motor manufacturers (listed in alphabetical order) range from small startups to large companies and serve the North American market.
If you’re looking to learn more about what each of these companies offers (and how they compare) I’d highly recommend checking out the Plugboats’ electric outboard guides and directories . Jeff Butler, the editor at Plugboats has done a great job of compiling motor specifications from across the market.
Headquartered in San Diego, California, Bixby makes a small electric motor system for kayaks, inflatable boats, canoes, and paddleboards.
Elco has been building electric motors for 125 years and counts the likes of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison among their customers. Their award-winning electric marine motors range from 5 to 50 hp. The company is based in Lake George, New York, and its electric motors can be found on boats around the world.
Flux Marine
Flux Marine was founded by mechanical engineering Princeton grads and offers three outboard models—a 40 hp, 70 hp, and 100 hp. In 2021, they won an award for the best new green product at the Newport International Boat Show.
Joe Grez, a consumer product developer from Washington, invented the EP Carry , a compact, ultralight electric outboard system because he was concerned about exposing his young daughter to the carbon monoxide (CO) emissions produced by gas outboards.
The EP Carry retails for $1,600 and is a great size for small vessels like dinghies, canoes, inflatable boats, and kayaks.
ePropulsion
ePropulsion , based in Guangdong, China, manufactures 3 to 9.9-hp electric motors for sailboats, fishing boats, as well as dinghies and tenders. They all come with hydro regeneration capabilities.
Mercury Marine launched the Avator 7.5 electric outboard (3.5 hp equivalent) in early 2023. The leading outboard manufacturer is currently developing more powerful 20e and 35e models which it plans to release later this year.
In 2023, Newport , a well-known US-based inflatable boat manufacturer, launched three small outboards ranging from 1.8 to 3 hp.
If you’re into fishing, you’re probably familiar with the Minn Kota name, derived from MINNesota North DaKOTA, prime fishing country where the company has its roots. They introduced their first electric trolling motor back in 1934 and they’ve been making them ever since.
Pure Watercraft
Pure Watercraft was founded by CEO Andy Rebele in Seattle in 2011. Their 25 kW (50 hp) motor starts at $16,500.
Ray Electric Outboards
Ray Electric Outboards is a 3rd generation family-owned business based in Cape Coral, Fl. They manufacture one outboard model that can be operated at different power ratings ranging from 10 to 22 hp.
Stealth Electric Outboards
The 50 and 75-hp Stealth electric outboards were developed by Scott Masterston of Houston, Texas.
German manufacturer, Torqeedo , has been leading the propulsion industry for years and sells some of the best e outboard motors in the 1 to 80-hp range
Vision Marine Technologies (formerly The Canadian Electric Boat Company).
Based in Quebec, Canada, Vision Marine Technologies has been in the boating industry for 25 years and produced some very innovative electric boats. In 2021, they launched E-Motion 180E, one of the most powerful electric outboards on the market.
Electric inboard boat motors
Today’s electric inboard motors can provide anywhere from 3- to a whopping 330 hp (2 to 246 kW) and are used in a range of applications from heavy displacement vessels to fast, planing powerboats.
Similar to outboards, the range on electric inboard engines will vary based on your boat, load, battery capacity, and boat speed (among other things).
However, with an inboard electric boat motor, you have the option of a hybrid motor which can significantly extend your range. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of hybrid boat motors later in this post.
Sailors may also want to consider choosing an inboard electric motor with hydro regeneration capabilities. These electric power motors can charge the battery while the boat is under sail.
DIY electric inboard boat motor conversion
One way to save money on an electric inboard is to do the installation yourself. There are a few DIY electric inboard boat motor conversion kits available on the market.
I’ve spoken with a few sailors who’ve had great success replacing their inboard diesel engines with these electric boat motor conversion kits from Thunderstruck-EV , an electric drive manufacturer in Santa Rosa, California.
Key features of electric inboard boat motors
Each brand has a slightly different set of electric inboard motor options. Here are some of the key features and options to look for.
- DIY conversion kits
- On-board computers and touchscreen display
- Waterproof system components
Electric inboard manufacturers
US manufacturer, Elco Motor Yachts , has been building electric motors for over 125 years, having gotten their start in 1893, supplying electric boats for the Chicago World’s Fair. They have seven inboards ranging from 6 to 200 hp.
Electric Yacht
Electric Yacht is a US supplier focused on providing plug-and-play electric motors for DIY installations on sailboats. Their electric propulsion systems range from 10 to 30. They’ve had over 450 installs in 10 years of production.
Oceanvolt is a leader in regenerative systems and their electric inboard motors are popular among sailors. They offer shaft drive systems ranging from 6 to 60 hp.
Torqeedo, a German manufacturer, is the world’s leader in electric boat motors. They have two lines of inboards, one for displacement boats and another for fast planing boats. Their Deep Blue inboard systems range from 25 kW to 100 kW (40 to 135 hp)
Hybrid systems
Hybrid systems combine an electric motor and combustion engine, so you can cruise in silence (but know you’ve got enough gas to get home). These systems offer many of the benefits of pure electric motors, without the limited range.
If you want additional power for onboard luxuries like air-conditioning, hybrids can also provide a significant increase in house-side fuel efficiency.
The downside to any hybrid solution is that the systems are far more complex . Not only do they require more equipment, but, for an optimized system, you’ll need highly sophisticated software to manage multiple power sources and switch back and forth between diesel and electric.
Unsurprisingly, the increased complexity adds cost, making hybrids less economical than either a conventional or pure electric install.
Serial vs. parallel hybrids
As with cars, there are two types of hybrid systems: serial and parallel. A serial hybrid uses a generator to power a large electric motor connected to the drive shaft. Whereas, a parallel hybrid has both a conventional combustion engine and a small electric motor connected to the drive shaft.
There are plenty of factors to consider when choosing between a parallel and serial system. Marine mechanics and electrical expert, Nigel Calder, does a great job of explaining serial and parallel hybrids in detail.
In general, serial systems may be a better fit for boats that can get most of their propulsion energy from renewable sources (e.g., a sailing catamaran). Whereas, a parallel system makes more sense on boats that regularly require sustained propulsion (e.g., Greenline’s power yachts ).
Key features of marine hybrids
- Parallel and serial hybrid options
- Integrated energy management systems
Marine hybrid manufacturers
Elco motor yachts.
Elco manufactures serial, parallel, as well as a combined serial-parallel system. Their systems can be used on sailboats, trawlers, yachts, and boats up to 85′ feet.
Hybrid Marine Ltd.
Hybrid Marine sells parallel hybrid systems in the 10 to 230 hp range. Beta, John Deere, and Yanmar’s hybrids all incorporate Hybrid Marine technology.
Finnish manufacturer, Oceanvolt , offers serial hybrid systems for both sailboats and powerboats.
Torqeedo makes hybrid systems for yachts up to 120 feet as well as powerful motorboats.
Electric pod drive and sail drive
Several manufacturers are now making electric pod and sail drives. These electric drive systems are more efficient and can save space onboard.
Electric pod and sail drive manufacturers
Electric Yacht produces a range of sail drives that can replace diesel engines up to 75 hp.
propulsion sells a 3 hp, 6 hp, and 9.9 hp fixed pod drive.
Oceanvolt’s sail drives range from 6 kW to 15 kW (8 to 20 hp)
Torqeedo sells a 40 hp and 80 hp equivalent electric sail drive as well as electric pod drives in the 6 to 25 hp range.
While it’s possible to power an electric motor with a conventional lead-acid battery, there are many good reasons to upgrade to lithium-ion batteries.
Their increased usable capacity is roughly double what you can get out similarly sized lead-acid battery. More battery capacity means more range—and hours of fun—on your electric boat.
They also charge more quickly and have a longer life span than lead-acid batteries. Unlike flooded lead-acid batteries, which need to be watered, lithium-ion batteries are practically maintenance-free.
The downside is that lithium-ion batteries are far more temperature-sensitive and can’t be charged much above 113 F (45 C) or below 32 F (0 C).
They can also present major safety issues . Lithium-ion batteries can go into what’s known as thermal runaway—a self-heating process that can cause the battery to catch fire.
Simply put, lithium-ion batteries are NOT a drop-in substitute for lead-acid batteries. They need to be specially designed for the marine environment and paired with a robust battery management system.
Electric motor manufacturers often provide complete solutions (including motor, batteries, and battery management system). It’s a good idea to work with a manufacturer with extensive marine experience and an ABYC-certified technician on any installation.
The other catch is that lithium-ion batteries cost two to four times as much as lead-acid batteries. However, the increased capacity and longer life span may make lithium batteries a better value option over the long run.
Ready to catch the electric boating wave?
With ever more powerful and feature-packed electric options launching each year, it’s an exciting time to be in the market for a new motor or engine. If you have any doubts about whether an electric boat motor is right for you, head to your local boat show and see, first hand, what all the buzz is about.

THE FACTS ABOUT ELECTRIC POWER, BATTERIES AND PROPULSION
Today's electric motor technology has already moved from
the open road to the open ocean.
Instant High Torque
Electric motors are in constant ‘stand by’ mode; you can engage the control lever at any time for instant forward or reverse propulsion.
Electric motors achieve instant torque with Electromotive Force while internal combustion engines need to build RPMs gradually by increasing piston firing frequency.
Hydro Generation
At sailing speeds over 6 knots Oceanvolt systems are able to generate significant power for recharging the battery bank by activating at the touch of a button.
Power regeneration increases exponentially with each additional knot of speed.
Lithium Ion batteries are superior to other battery storage technology; highest storage capacity, high effective current delivery, high charge capacity resiliency and wide temperature range performance. In today's digital age, where everything is just a click away, 1xbet mobile takes a significant chunk of the online casino services sector. Starting as an online casino service in 2007, 1xBet expanded its services in 2014 to include sports betting. Fast forward to 2018, and they marked their entry into the Indian market. Their app and website, designed in a calming blue and white hue, are not just a treat for the eyes but are also super intuitive. With a support interface that covers 50 languages, including Hindi, the platform ensures that language is no barrier to placing your bet.
Oceanvolt highly skilled technical team ensures proper installation and system-optimization. Only the highest quality Li-Ion batteries are used - to ensure performance and safety.
For those interested in a hybrid solution, generators are a highly efficient way to extend range while at sea.
DC generators have the advantage of rapid recharging capability.
AC generators are, generally, smaller and even portable which means that the generator can be aboard only in situations where longer motoring might be required.
Battery recharging is accomplished with shore connection, hydro generation (an integrated part of all Oceanvolt systems) and/or solar panels.
In Hybrid solutions , a generator (either AC or DC) can be used to recharge batteries / extend motoring range.
Integrated components
It is essential that all system components are properly selected and installed.
Our team of highly skilled technicians ensure that all components are compatible and that system management software is optimized.

SEAT Cupra CEO confirms Formentor EV and a new electric SUV are coming to the US
SEAT S.A. shared its full 2023 financial results earlier today while also outlining its plans for the future. Part of its strategy includes bringing its Cupra EVs over to the US market, beginning with the all-electric version of the Formentor crossover as well as a larger SUV.
SEAT Cupra, S.A.U., better known as Cupra, is a high-performance brand founded in 2018 as a subsidiary of Spanish automaker SEAT, which itself has operated as a wholly-owned sub-brand of Volkswagen Group since the mid-’80s.
In line with much of the brands under the VW Group umbrella, Cupra has made public vows to go all-electric, promising three new EV models by 2025. That initial rollout includes an angry-looking electric hatchback called the Raval , derived from the UrbanRebel concept.
The Raval will join the all-electric Tavascan, which launches later this year, and the Born, Cupra’s first-ever BEV, in a lineup that has already adopted several plug-in hybrids that will pave the way for all-electric versions of existing models such as the Leon and Formentor (seen below).
Nearly one year ago to the day, we reported that the Spanish automaker was mulling entry into the US market in its quest to expand to a global EV brand . SEAT Cupra CEO Wayne Griffiths spoke at the time:
As far as our ambition of being truly global, we are currently analyzing a possible entry into the North American market. At the moment, we are testing our brand with potential clients; we think Americans would love Cupra’s design and great performance.
During a presentation earlier today, Griffiths took Cupra’s ambitions a step further, confirming plans to sell EVs in the US by the end of this decade.
Cupra plans to enter US market before end of the decade
After reporting an all-time high operating profit for 2023 and record Cupra deliveries, SEAT executives outlined the Spanish automaker’s vision for the future to maintain such profitable growth. Much of that will rely on its performance brand and its transition into BEVs.
The release describes 2024 as the beginning of Cupra’s most extensive product offensive, promising the launch of “new heroes for a new era.” In addition to new BEV and electrified models, globalization remains a crucial target in the brand’s future strategy. Furthermore, those expansions do, in fact, include the sale of Cupra EVs in the US. Per SEAT S.A. CEO Wayne Griffiths:
By the end of the decade CUPRA will be entering the US market. We plan to launch with the battery electric version of the Formentor and a bigger electric crossover SUV. That crossover SUV will be produced at Volkswagen Group factories in the North America region, including Mexico. Initially, CUPRA will launch in selected states in the East and West coasts and the Sun Belt states. This will be done through a new distribution model .
If and when Volkswagen Group facilities assist in producing Cupra EVs for the US market and other parts of North America, it will join SEAT’s existing production commitments in Spain as part of a $3.2 billion investment announced in February 2023. That facility will be home to production of the aforementioned Cupra Raval and the Volkswagen ID.2All .
