Elco Electric Motor

ELECTRICPROPULSION QUIET | POWERFUL | RELIABLE | GREEN | EFFICIENT

Patent Pending

Drawing upon Elco’s rich history as the leader in reliable marine electric

propulsion, while blending in the most advanced technology in motors and

controllers, Elco has developed a new more efficient series of marine propulsion

systems based upon the use of super reliable AC induction motors. The systems

are all plug and play making installation straightforward for retrofitting existing

boats as well as in new boat construction, and they are suitable for powering

sailboats, launches, and catamarans from 15’ through 85’.

The entire propulsion system, excluding instrument panel and batteries is

contained in a water resistant housing that contains all of the electronics, AC

motor, and safety devices, as well as side flanges that allows the system to be

mounted directly in place of a typical marine diesel or gas engine by virtue of

having the same footprint and being dimensionally smaller.

No exhaust fumes produced

Silent motor operation - No noise pollution

Recyclable batteries

Zero carbon footprint if charged by the solar or wind power options

Cruise all day and charge the batteries overnight for just pennies

The motor fits standard engine mounts

Never needs a tune-up; no need to winterize

Available for conventional shaft connection applications and sail drive units

The motor is encased and water resistant

The patented enclosure ensures that the motor runs cool so it will not heat up the cabin

Great reliability, with an operational service life of 50,000+ hours before scheduled maintenance

More than twice the cruising range than an equivalent diesel engine in a hybrid system

BENEFITS OF GOING GREEN

Elco’s electric motors were first introduced at the

Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. There, in Chicago,

55 Elco electric boats silently carried over one

million passengers during the exhibition. Today,

Elco Motor Yachts produces the most highly

advanced and innovative electric drive systems

made in the USA, along with some of the finest

electric launches. As the predecessor company for

both General Dynamics Corp. and Electric Boat

Co., Elco stands almong the most significant

companies in American boating history.

HISTORY

Today, Elco continues to the lead the way, having a

Hunter 27e powered by an Elco EP-2000 motor which

won the 2011 Sail Magazine Best Boat Award in the

Green Category. The 27e was also nominated for Boat

of the Year by Cruising World. To find out about the

100% Green 27e or the Hunter e36 Hybrid powered by

The Elco motor offered easy and straight forward installation.

We now have a clean engine room and bilge. There are no

combustibles so it’s a very safe boat to operate. We have

found that the motor allows us to jump on the boat and go!

Guests aboard our boat have remarked that it’s so quiet, is it

really on? On-board gauges keep you informed of your

running time, volts consumed and how many more hours

you have available on the batteries.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. The Elco EP-4000 has more power than the 50 hp diesel the Elco replaced.

Jamie LoonerNew Zealand

I could not be happier with the Elco motor. My experience with Elco

has exceeded my expectations. The customer service has been

flawless – even when dealing with a 16 hour time difference.

Enquires were all answered promptly and transactions were simple.

I was updated continuously during the delivery process.

The Elco motor was as easy to install as promised. The process

was far simpler than any engine I have dealt with in the past. The

advantages of an Elco motor are numerous, including the silent and

no vibration operation, zero emissions, ease of operation and

immediate responsiveness are to name just a few.

The Elco motor changed my sailing experience and has made it a

more relaxed and enjoyable pursuit. Any yacht I own in the future

will be equipped with an Elco motor.
