Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric motor for 33' Sailboat

Welcome to Advanced Marine electric Propulsion, the direct drive solution. The 5kw 48v model has been testing out just fine, and is now available. Designed specifically for marine traction duty, sealed to 10' of water pressure, and no noisy gears or belts to stretch. It's cool running and maintenance-free. $3500 includes shipping and mounting hardware. References are available...

Be Well,
