Though electric power propulsion has been around a long time for the marine sector we are now able to offer real world Electric Outboard motors for:

• Yachts (to replace inboard motors)

• Back up engines for boats up to 6 tons

• Tenders (where it all started)

Like many people Ashton Marine Services were more than a touch sceptical about the range, weight, charging time etc. i.e. are these a nice concept or are they in fact real world solutions that are suitable for the west coast of Scotland!

The game changer for us came after testing the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus (with its floating battery). We were looking for an axillary electric outboard for our Warrior 165 and 5m safety Rib (Carson 500 with a deep v hull and wider than other ribs of similar size) and were incredibly impressed with the range and performance achieved.

Our test results revealed a range of over 5nm without the need to link it to our on-board batteries and a speed from 3.2 to 4.8 knots in a force 4/5 wind off Largs on Scotland’s west Coast.

The ePropulsion electric pod solutions are also now being fitted to a wide range of sailing boats and have again produced impressive results and is now a very attractive option for repowering.
