ELCO
ELECTRIC OUTBOARD MOTOR: EP-9.9RL
COMPLETE 9.9HP ELECTRIC OUTBOARD BOAT MOTOR SYSTEM
Pure Electric Outboard Motors/
Electric Marine Propulsion Systems
The
Elco EP-9.9RL is a powerful electric marine propulsion
system - perfect for pontoon boats, small boats and sailboats.
Combining affordability and environmentally clean and efficient
marine propulsion. It is an easy refit or an even easier option
for new boats under construction - these electric outboards
are made to fit a standard 20 inch transom.
The
Elco outboard marine motors come ready to connect and run -
the leg is filled with gear oil and the motors have been pre-programmed
and test run at the factory for 1 hour.
Most
of the Elco outboards run at 4,500-5,000 RPM with a 2-1 gear
reduction ratio (the EP50 can run up to 6,000 RPM). The lower
leg unit is a proprietary Elco part with a single gear in the
gearbox. Compareable gas outboards typically have several gears
in their gearbox so with just 1 gear the Elco is typically more
reliable. About the only part that can be sourced through a
Yamaha outboard parts center or dealer is the water pump's impeller.
If after several years of use and you ever find vibration occurring
and you are certain that you have never grounded the leg/ hit
it on a hard object, then the first thing that should be checked
is the leg's oil level. If that is OK, then the second thing
we should look at through a reputable marine mechanic is the
water pump's impeller. Water pump impellers do not last forever
and can be damaged quickly if the motor is run out of water
or if the water intake becomes blocked.
How
do I choose - Long Shaft or Short Shaft?
Take a tape measure and measure from the top of the transom
mounting plate that we will clamp the motor to and measure down
to the water line and add 1 inch or so.
If
the measurement is 17.5 inches choose the Short Shaft outboard
If
the measurement is 22.5 inches choose the Long Shaft outboard

Batteries:
Victron AGM battery system minimum size is 110 Amp hours
($298.00 USD each - Four 12 Volt batteries needed).
Victron AGM batteries with 130 Amp hours are $399.50
USD each or the 165 Amp hour models are $472.32 USD
each (4 needed) and the 220 Amp hour model is $598.00
USD each (Four 12 Volt needed).
Lithium-ion
battery system minimum size is 75 Amp hours capacity.
We can connect several battery packs in parallel to
offer longer battery power only running time.
We
can also source a more economical Chinese brand of lithium-ion
battery from Elco.
These are very simple and can be connected in parallel
for larger packs. The 100 Amp hour version at 51.2 Volts
sells for $2,900.00 USD each. The brand name is UBetter
and these have a very limited, restrictive warranty
on the cells only. Their internal BMS does come with
an On/Off/ Reset button.
The
100 Amp hour model measures 25" x 9.8" x 9"
and weighs 101 pounds. These can also be wired in Series
to serve the 96 Volt EP30 and EP50 motors.
There is also a 24 Volt 100 Amp hour UBetter battery
for the Elco EP5 battery for $1,350.00 USD that measures
20.3" x 10.5" x 8.8" and weighs 62 pounds.
We
can also supply the NOCO 48 Volt charger for $610.00
USD. The GX 4820 model outputs 20 Amps of 51.2 Volt
charging current and comes with 76 inch long 12 AWG
DC output power cables with 3/8" ring connectors
on the end. There is also an onboard 50 Amp DC fuse.
You can parallel connect more than 1 of these chargers
for faster charging.
The
GX 2440 model outputs 24 Volts and up to 40 Amps of
current. It also costs $610.00 USD.

Add $142.49 CAD for the fuse holder plus shipping.
As there is a global shortage of Class T fuses please
Contact Us for
price and availability of the Class T fuse itself
that you need. Ships from Pinnacle Innovations in
Vancouver, Canada.
This
is required and installs on the positive power cable
between the battery system and the Elco outboard
motor.
We
do not require our customers to buy this special
extra safe ABYC approved fuse assembly from Pinnacle.
It is available through Blue Sea Marine Dealers
and the part numbers are 5113 and 5007100.
Do
you need a high Voltage DC Disconnect Switch(s)?
According
to the ABYC Marine Electrical Code Book, the answer
is "YES". For all electric propulsion
maritime vessels it is required to have a manual
disconnect switch for the motor/ battery system
that can handle both the Voltage of the Elco motor
system as well as the maximum Amperage of the Elco
motor.
If
you would like, we can also supply you with 1 or
2 of the appropriate DC Disconnect Switches to make
your Elco motor system installation complete and
up to ABYC Standards. The actual ABYC Code stipulates
that we in fact should have two DC disconnects -
one for the main positive and one for the main negative
power cables.

Panther
Electric Hydraulic Model 40 Trim and Tilt 55-0040
This
is an optional part that many Elco outboard motor
owners
opt for on the smaller motors when they operate
in shallow waters, frequently make beach landings
and/ or when they want to be easily able to lift
the motor out of the water.
In
addition, the Panther system can make installing
the Elco outboards easier on some larger boats that
may have a flat rear transom not necessarily designed
for outboard motors.
This
trim and tilt is designed specifically for the weekend
fisherman. The Model 40 is a heavy-duty, fabricated
aluminum bracket. Holds 2 and 4 stroke motors up
to 150 lbs. Its powerful electro-mechanical actuator
provides automatic trim and tilt with the push of
a button. Bracket comes with electrical relay and
2-button switch with a 12' power cord that connects
to a 12 Volt battery system.
If
needed, we can provide a Victron Energy Orion 48
Volt to 12 Volt DC converter at additional cost
so that you can power the Panther with the Elco
motor's 48 Volt DC battery system.
Do
you need a "Series Battery Connection
Harness"?
Pinnacle Innovations will be more than happy
to supply you with a high quality Custom Made
Series Battery Wiring Harness using Amercian
made tinned copper marine power cabling, tinned
copper marine cable ends with round eyelet
holes, adhesive backed heavy duty marine heat
shrink tubing and the matching Elco motor
quick disconnector cable end.
We
also only use the much higher rated Class
T fuse sets made by Blue Sea Systems instead
of ANL or MEGA fuses (the ANL and MEGA Fuse
holders are primarily plastic, can overheat
and come apart causing a dangerous situation).
We can also make the cables whatever length
that you may need and if you need the cables
to be longer than the standard 82" we
can also look at using larger diameter power
cable.
Available
for Both Elco Inboards and Outboards and This
Kit Ships from Pinnacle Innovations, Langley,
BC, Canada.

Elco's
Supplied Quick Connection System:
Elco uses two fairly short piceces of
2 AWG tinned copper marine power wire
about 8" long between the motor
head and the quick connector. On the
EP9.9 motor, this quick connector is
rated for 120 Amps and is also used
on the EP5 motor. The brand name is
"Anen" so make sure you use
the matching brand/ size.
Your
motor will ship with the one blue connector
and two short power cables attached
to the motor, plus a matching blue connector
with two tinned copper cable end lugs
that you can crimp to your power cabling

ELCO
EP SERIES WARRANTY:
Limited Warranty, 2 years labour, 3 years parts
NOTE: Do not run the outboard
motor out of the water - it will damage the water pump
and void your warranty.
Battery
System:
Please note that the Elco motors as priced do not
include a battery system. Customers can source their
own deep cycle battery system or we can offer a
variety of battery systems:
Lead-acid
batteries: lowest cost, heavy, bulky, require
maintenance, slow recharging, lowest life expectancy/
cycle life (up to about 600 cycles but usually
start losing capacity after about 300 cycles)
AGM
batteries: moderate cost, heavy, bulky, require
less maintenance, slow recharging, improved life
expectancy/ cycle life (up to 1,000 to 1,500 cycles)
Lithionics
lithium-ion batteries: best overall system
with highest performance, next to zero maintenance,
lightweight, fast charging, compact and exceptional
life expecatncy - up to 5,800 cycles at 50% discharge
rate. The only downside is these batteries cost
significantly more than lead-acid batteries initially
but over the long term can be a lower overall
cost but with tremendous performance/ ease-of-use
advantages.
In
order for us to specify and quote a battery system
we ask that you provide us the following information:
For
how many hours per day do you want to be able to
cruise?
At
approximately what % of full throttle do you expect
to use on average?
What
is the weight and size of your boat?
What
are the physical dimensions of the battery area
that you have?
Please
tell us about the electrical outlet(s) you have
access to to plug the battery charger into. Example:
110 Volt AC outlet on a 15 Amp circuit breaker 100
feet away from the boat.
Please
let us know if you have any roof or deck space available
for possible rigid or semi-flexible solar panels
and the dimensions of such areas.
With
this information we can then calculate the Amp hours
of battery capacity required to give you the desired
running time before recharging. Depending on your budget
and other factors we can then quote you some battery
options. Please keep in mind that to be able to run
all day at a high percentage of throttle may require
a substantial battery bank. For many small boats (under
25 feet) we can provide an economical battery system
that can provide a few hours enjoyment but many small
boats (such as a 10 foot tender boat) may not have enough
available space or carrying capacity for a battery bank
that can run the motor more than 1 or 2 hours at high
throttle.
For
applications that require longer running times the most
economical way to go may be what we call a "hybrid-electric
battery system" where we can decrease the size
and cost of the battery system by adding a Polar Power
DC diesel generator or other type of generator.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Elco Electric Outboard Motor Service
Notes:
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong with
the Elco electric inboard or outboard marine motor there
are lights that flash on the electric controller (located
under the engine cover on the top of the motor) and
that tells us what is wrong. It really depends on what
the controller tells us as to whether the motor can
be repaired quickly and easily locally or if it needs
to go back to Elco for repair.
In the rare event that your OUTBOARD motor is causing
vibration after being operated for a long time (many,
many outings or a period of years) the first thing that
we would want to check is the lower leg's water pump
impeller. Over long periods of time (or if you run the
motor out of the water) the rubberized fins on the impeller
can become damaged or worn. For both the Elco EP5 and
EP9.9 there is a direct Yamaha replacement kit with
part number 6EO-W0078-A2. This can be serviced by a
marine outboard mechanic.
In
the rare event that you strike the leg on a rock or
something hard and vibration results, then it may be
possible that the whole lower leg may need replacing
on the outboard motor. Not to worry though, Elco has
you covered with economical lower leg replacements and
the price for the lower leg on both the EP5 and EP9.9
hp is $790.00 USD.
Elco
Inboard Motors: Please read the instruction manual
on the inboards (click on PDF link below). We will help
with a correct prop solution: we need the boat specs
and what the diameter of the prop that the owner wants
to use. It is very important that the pitch is correct
other wise the motor will not function correctly - you
can either go in over Voltage or under Voltage and you
will not get the performance that you should from the
motor and this can cause problems. There is a procedure
that is in the manual for the inboards – you need to
water test and take down the speed you are going and
the rpms and the Amps the motor is pulling (all that
is displayed on the display that come with the unit
but you will have to use a hand held GPS to get the
speed data) at first low speed, then half throttle and
then full throttle. This will tells us if the pitch
is correct and you are getting full Horsepower and reaching
1,500 RPM - 1,800 RPM is about the maximum for the Elco
EP Inboards.

POLAR
POWER DC MARINE GENERATORS
Why
choose Polar Power DC Diesel Generators?
Efficiency is the answer. These diesel generators
are perfect for battery charging and can reduce
the size and cost of the battery bank.
American
made Polar Power DC diesel generators with 5kW
to 25kW output or more. Perfect for use with Elco
motors when long distance electric power is needed
for mid-size boats.
With
advances in lithium-ion battery technology provided by Lithionics
Battery, we are now able to offer Complete Plug and Play
Marine Electric Propulsion Systems. When purchasing an Elco
E-Power System, you're not just receiving a motor, you're purchasing

How long can I go without recharging?
There are various factors in determining how far you can go
before you need to recharge. Winds, tides, currents, weights,
propeller type, vessel speed and battery size are some examples.
With a generator on board running time can be extended or made
continuous. Below is a graphical representation comparing Diesel
fuel consumption for an Elco electric propulsion system using
lead-type batteries versus a diesel engine. NOTE: With Lithionics
Battery Lithium-ion batteries, the savings and ranges will be
much greater.

What size Elco Electric Marine
Motor is right for my boat?
There is some overlap between motor and boat sizes so choosing
the right size motor for you and your vessel can sometimes require
some personal expertise to make the right choice. In selecting
the correct size electric motor, some general tips are - in areas
with strong tides and currents, choose the next larger size motor,
and the same goes for weight - if your boat is heavy for its length,
choose the next size up.
Elco
Motor Yacht has also developed a robust and easy motor coupling
system to allow for twin or triple motor installations. This can
be used when a vessel exceeds 85 feet or if you need a faster
cruising speed. Please contact us about the motor coupling
optionby email.
