Electric boats are generally considered safe when designed, maintained, and operated correctly. Like all vessels, their safety depends on factors such as the quality of construction, regular maintenance, and adherence to safety guidelines. It’s essential to ensure that electrical systems are waterproof and that safety precautions are followed during charging and operation. 🚤 Fundamentals of…
Boats will become electric when the dollar-for-dollar cost against internal combustion is at a level of parity or close to. The maritime industry as a whole isn’t entirely suited to electric propulsion. For example, large container vessels will fare better using other sources like wind energy or even hydrogen. On the recreational side, however, the…
Electric boat batteries are the power source for electric boats. They store energy that is used to power the boat’s motor. Several types of electric boat batteries exist, including Lead-Acid, Lithium-ion, and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries. Understanding the basics of electric boat batteries is crucial because they are such an integral part of how…
1️⃣ Dock Safely: Ensure the boat is securely docked and turned off.2️⃣ Connect Charger: Plug one end of the charging cable into the charging port and the other end into shore power or a power outlet.3️⃣ Set Charging Mode: Some boats have different charging capabilities (DC fast charge, standard AC charging).4️⃣ Monitor Charging: Check the…
Yes, trolling motors rely on a battery to work. The battery powers the electric motor that propels the boat. It provides the necessary electrical energy to propel the boat silently and efficiently, making it an essential component for operating a trolling motor. At a Glance: 1️⃣ Operating conditions such as temperature, wind, and current can…
Yes, lithium batteries are worth the investment. The advantages include improved performance, reduced weight, increased longevity, shorter charging time, and maintenance-free operation. But before you go and head to Bass Pro, consider these quick points below and then read on to find out why your money will be well spent. At a glance:1️⃣ Lithium-ion batteries…
The main difference between an electric trolling motor and an electric outboard is the outboard is used for a primary means of propulsion, and the trolling motor is not. Granted, there are exceptions where it’s possible to use an electric trolling motor as your propulsion system, but generally speaking, they are supplementary to your outboard….
Choosing the length of a trolling motor shaft is an important decision. If the shaft length is too short, it may not extend deep enough below the water surface. If it’s too long, it could be damaged on a submerged reef and be more prone to bending caused by the forces it is subject to….
![How To Measure An Outboard Shaft Length [Correctly]](https://kiteship.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/How-To-Measure-An-Outboard-Shaft-Length-768x480.jpg)
The measurement of an electric outboard motor shaft must include the transom height, the propellor’s radius, and an additional margin of between 4 to 10 inches to allow for different hull shapes. The correct shaft length will ensure that the propellor produces maximum thrust. An outboard shaft length is measured differently from trolling motor shaft…
The current holder of the most powerful electric outboard motor is the Evoy Storm 300 HP, and they are set to deliver a new outboard this year called the Hurricane that will deliver a whopping 400 HP. The previous holder of that title was, the E-Motion 180E by Vision Marine Technologies. Not only does Vision…
