Remotorizations

Electric Inside specializes in replacing gasoline and diesel engines with 100% zero emission electric systems. Mainly in displacement boats, such as llaut or sailboats.

A typical project to convert a boat of between 4 m and 12 m, sailing at about 6 knots, usually costs between 12,000 € and 25,000 €, and largely depends on the capacity of the batteries to be installed.

In our projects we recommend complementing the autonomy of the batteries with solar energy generation systems.

A real example

Llaut Pascual 27

  • We replaced a 6 hp Solé Diesel engine with a 5 kW Bellmarine inboard electric motor (equivalent to 10 hp diesel).

  • Batteries: 2 x 5,000 Wh Victron lithium.

    Electronics: Raymarine monitor integrated with Victron includes GPS and battery monitoring (state of charge and remaining range), speed and RPM.

  • Maximum speed 6 kt with flat sea. Cruising speed 4.5 kt.

    The recharge of the batteries can be done solar or by connecting to the current. A full charge by plugging to the current takes between 3 and 6 hours, and allows an range of:

    - More than 36 hours at 3 kt.

    - 18 hours at 4.5 kt.

    - 3 hours at 5.5 kt.

  • Solar kit with 3 flexible panels of 130 w generate approximately 1500 w per day, so that they manage to recharge the consumption of a typical outing of one or two hours of navigation.

* Actual measurement data. May vary depending on factors such as number of crew or sea conditions.
