Electric Outboard Motors
Powerful, quiet, and efficient electric propulsion for every boat. From portable motors to high-performance outboards.
Electric Outboard Motors
Electric outboard motors are reshaping small-craft propulsion. From dinghies and fishing boats to tenders and daysailers, electric drives deliver clean thrust without the noise, fumes, or fuel complexity of traditional gas engines.
They suit inland lakes with noise or emissions limits, marinas with strict air-quality rules, and boaters who want a calmer experience on the water. With few moving parts, many electric systems last for years with limited service.
Benefits of Electric Outboards
- Zero EmissionsNo gasoline, exhaust, or fuel spills onboard
- Low NoiseQuiet operation keeps conversation and wildlife undisturbed
- Lower Running CostElectricity often costs far less per mile than gasoline
- Minimal UpkeepNo oil changes, spark plugs, or winterization routines
- Strong TorqueFull thrust from zero RPM for better docking and acceleration
- Lake AccessPropulsion meets restrictions on bans or limits for gas motors
Buying Guide
Selecting the right motor depends on hull type and range:
Power Rating
Match the motor’s thrust and equivalent horsepower to your boat size and load.
Battery Capacity
Larger batteries extend range but add weight; portable batteries offer flexibility.
Shaft Length
Ensure proper prop depth for consistent propulsion and control.
Charging
Identify where you will charge—dock power, home charging, solar, or portable chargers.
