Marine Solutions for Electric Boats

Today, many thermal motors in boats can be replaced or assisted by electric motors.

One of the most important factors for any user of their boat has to be the general day to day operating costs. Fuel is one of the most costly components and as we all suspect is one that will continue to increase. Along with this is the servicing of the IC engine and many of its parts that will require replacing over time again adding to the expense.
