ePropulsion UK will be making a debut at the RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show 2023, together with eSolent, the Hayling Island based dealer for ePropulsion and eco marine solutions.
The ePropulsion stand will feature a live tank demo comparing a Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor with a typical 4 stroke and 2 stroke engine. For anyone who has previously used a petrol-based outboard, it starkly shows after just 30 minutes run time how, by switching to electric, we can all significantly reduce our impact on water quality and pollution.
To help Clubs and watersports providers move away from burning hydrocarbons, eSolent will be launching a new e-Safety Boat package. Specifically aimed at RYA Affiliated Clubs, training and watersports centres the e-Safety Boat Package makes switching to electric propulsion easy. The package comprises a Rigiflex 360 safety boat and Extreme Trailer fitted with an ePropulsion long-range Navy 3.0 electric outboard and E80 battery. It includes full fit-out with cabling, controls, charging and a bespoke bow locker for the battery.
The ePropulsion team will also be on hand to help advise visitors, Clubs and event organisers on the many advantages of converting to electric propulsion, that include preserving marine life and reducing ocean pollution. On show will be a Navy 3.0 and 6.0 long-range electric outboard as well as the highly portable Spirit outboard.
The Navy 3.0 outboard will comfortably power a 2.5 ton boat and between 300w and 3000 watts of power between low speed and full throttle, and run times of 80 minutes at full speed up to 13 hours at low speed.
The Show takes place 25-26 February at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. See ePropulsion on stand P10.
