Crating Costs Apply to Some of the Larger Inboard Elco Motors. 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, lowest life expectancy/ cycle life (up to about 300 to 600 cycles) AGM batteries: moderate cost, heavy, bulky, require less maintenance, improved life expectancy/ cycle life (up to 800 to 1,200 cycles) Lithionics lithium-ion batteries: best overall system with highest performance, next to zero maintenance, lightweight, 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. A few examples of the industry leading Lithionics Battery lithium-ion batteries are shown down the page... 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) does 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. NOTES: *Prices subject to change. Prices do not include freight/ freight related charges or currency charges. *2.25% Cash Discount offered for Cash, Cheque or Debit Card purchases. Prices are for a complete Elco Electric Propulsion System including motor, switches, prewired 16 foot wiring harness (for non-tiller controller outboards and inboards) and in some cases a remote motor throttle (speed controller). Additional options such as E-Gauge VII, motor couplers and lithium ion batteries cost extra. All battery chargers are optional at additional cost. Top-mount remote throttle. Add $646.00 USD for the single top-mount throttle as shown in the photo. There is also a dual motor top-mount throttle control available for $1,362.00 USD. Wall-mount remote throttle. Add $448.00 USD for smaller outboard motors for the basic remote throttle lever option that mounts vertically beside the driver seat (can mount on either side of the boat). 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. 48 Volt Model: $74.99 USD 1,000 Volt Model: $260.00 USD

ELCO ELECTRIC YACHTS - MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ELECTRIC INBOARD AND ELECTRIC OUTBOARD MARINE MOTORS

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 all the essential components to power the vessel with electric propulsion and we can either provide the Lithionics Battery lithium ion batteries or alternate battery technology that suits your needs.

As of September, 2022, Elco has redesigned the EP6, EP12 and EP20 electric inboards.
The main benefits include:

The components of each Inboard Elco Electric Marine Propulsion System include: Elco high efficiency electric motor with a diesel engine power equivalency form 6hp to over 200hp Battery Charger (available at additional cost as noted on each motor system page) E-Gauge VII (available at additional cost on models 6HP to 40HP) Throttle Ignition Key Power On Light Power Boost Button Controller/AC Inverter 15 foot Pre-Wired Harness All Elco system components are pre-wired for plug & play installation. With batteries configured, your system can be up and running in minutes. Re-powering with electric is far less complex than replacing a diesel because there are no fuel, cooling or exhaust lines, throttle linkages, shifting linkages, or individual wires to deal with. E-Power Electric Hybrid options include generators and/or solar/ wind components to meet continuous cruising needs.

ELCO MOTOR YACHTS - YOU CHOOSE WHICH SYSTEM IS BEST
Pure Electric
With the pure electric configuration, an electric motor powered by batteries drives the propeller shaft. This system is ideal for day cruises in displacement and semi-displacement boats such as sailboats, launches, tenders and sloops. Installation is simple, and the motor fits most standard engine mounts. The batteries can be strategically positioned to keep the boat balanced.

Hybrid Electric Serial
Similar to the pure electric configuration, the electric motor drives the propeller shaft directly. The difference is the addition of a gas or diesel generator, which has no direct connection to the propeller shaft. Instead, the generator powers the motor and charges the batteries. This provides boaters with the option of running the motor strictly off battery power for a quiet, clean boating experience, or switching to the generator when the batteries are low. The serial hybrid-electric configuration is great for boaters who go on day cruises and want to have a backup power supply should a trip take longer than battery power alone can sustain.

Hybrid Electric Parallel - Due to the complexity and costs involved Elco only offers this OEM boat manufacturers.
The parallel hybrid-electric configuration features a diesel or gas engine that is connected to the propeller shaft through an electric motor and a clutching system. The parallel hybrid-electric configuration allows the engine to drive the propeller directly and charge the batteries while the electric motor is inactive. With the flip of a switch, the vessel can switch to exclusively power the electric motor with batteries for situations when the engine would be inefficient.

Hybrid Electric Parallel Serial
Elco's EP hybrid-electric parallel and serial system benefits commercial and pleasure vessels. Tugboats employed by harbor services can use a combustion engine to get where they are needed in a hurry. However, most of their time is spent idling or actively maneuvering to support other vessels. In these low-speed situations, the combustion engine can be shut down so the system can switch to the electric motor for more efficient operation.

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. More information below...

ELCO EP SERIES WARRANTY:
Limited Warranty, 2 years labour, 3 years parts

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.
