Boating at night can be more enjoyable with an electric motor because of its quiet operation that reduces noise distractions. This allows for a more peaceful and secure experience, without disturbing the nocturnal tranquility or the surrounding marine wildlife.

New propulsion technologies start with the improvement of LFP batteries with ultra-stable chemistry allowing 3500 charge/discharge cycles against 1200 previously. Our MSAP motor (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is approaching perfection in terms of efficiency thanks to recent technological advances. The energy management system that we have specially developed with Garmin to meet maximum needs is also a new technology proposed. Being able to recycle components is also a real advance in reducing the environmental impact of your navigation. Finally, fast charging technology is also a novelty in the world of electric boating.

Professionals report positive feedback on the use of electric motors, highlighting their low maintenance costs, increased reliability, and reduced environmental impact. They also appreciate the quiet operation and consistent performance of electric motors.

They offer a peaceful and environmentally friendly sailing experience, perfectly suited to leisure activities such as fishing, sea walking, or boating.

The future of electric boat motors is mainly focused on the evolution of batteries. Expected advances include an increase in the number of charge/discharge cycles, increased energy density, which will reduce weight, congestion while increasing the autonomy of electric boats and the possibilities of recycling them. These improvements will allow better adaptability to various maritime applications and a significant reduction in the environmental footprint of ships.

The advanced technologies used in electric motors are high-performance permanent magnets, vector control and oriented flow controls (FOC), advanced sensors, variable frequency drive (VFD), improved cooling, monitoring and self-diagnosis systems, modeling and simulation, modeling and simulation, modeling and simulation, compact optimized coil technology, compact optimized coil technology, optimized compact coil technology, cooling at the core of the rotor optimizing efficiency as well as the development of the dashboard with a connection of information between them.

Electric motors reduce CO2 emissions by completely eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the combustion of fossil fuels. By using electricity, which is often produced from renewable sources, they minimize their overall environmental impact. Thus, electric motors play a crucial role in the transition to more sustainable and climate-friendly navigation.

Electric motors do not disturb marine biodiversity because they do not produce any hydrocarbon emissions and operate silently. Their absence of direct greenhouse gas emissions and their low noise impact contribute to the preservation of marine habitats and to minimize disturbances for sensitive marine fauna. Thus, electric motors play a positive role in the conservation and preservation of marine biodiversity compared to thermal engines.

Electric boat motors are very reliable because of their simplified design: they have around 100 times fewer moving parts than a combustion engine, which reduces wear and requires less maintenance. They have no translational parts, only rotating parts, which significantly reduces wear.

The transformation of a thermal vehicle (car, boat, bus...) into an electric or hybrid vehicle, also called retrofit, involves the replacement of the combustion engine by an electric motor or the integration of a hybrid system. This includes installing batteries, an electric motor, controllers, and other components needed to provide electric propulsion. This process reduces greenhouse gas emissions while increasing the vehicle's fuel efficiency.

The maintenance of an electric boat motor includes a complete overhaul every 20,000 hours of navigation. It can be carried out in your shipyard (subject to partnership), without the need to be put out of the water. It is recommended that you check the water/water exchanger visually every year to ensure that it is not obstructed.

The frequency of maintenance of an electric motor depends on several factors, including the intensity of use and environmental conditions. In general, a complete overhaul is recommended every 20,000 hours of navigation.

The installation of the electric motor is taken care of in the project estimate. We collaborate with numerous shipyards to equip your boat either directly in your usual yard, or in the one closest to your home port, thus ensuring an efficient and professional installation. So you don't have to worry about installing your equipment.

To maintain your electric boat motor at Weenav, no regular maintenance is necessary except for a periodic visual check of the exchanger. This ensures reliable operation and minimizes repair needs thanks to the robust design and reliability of the electric motor.

The price of the engine varies according to the power you want for your boat as well as the type of engine. For an inboard motor, the prices according to power are as follows: 100 hp: 36,500€ TTC 200 hp: 54,900€ TTC 500 hp: 89,900€ TTC For outboard engines, the prices are as follows: 80 ch: €39,900 110 hp: €46,900 180 hp: 63,200€ 200 hp: 67,900€ The prices listed here do not include batteries.

We offer two types of engines; an outboard motor and an inboard motor, each engine is offered in different powers. Our most efficient inboard engine reaches 500 horsepower, while for the outboard motor reaches 300 horsepower. These options ensure optimal performance for a diverse range of marine applications.

The energy efficiency of an electric motor is very high, around 90% and up to 97%. This means that this percentage of the electrical energy consumed is transformed into mechanical work, with a relatively low loss of energy in the form of heat. In comparison, heat engines have a much lower efficiency, generally between 20% and 30%, with more of the energy dissipated in the form of heat instead of being used to propel the boat.

Electric motors offer undeniable ecological advantages by reducing local emissions of exhaust gases and particulates, by reducing the carbon footprint through the use of renewable electricity, and by minimizing noise pollution, thus maintaining marine ecosystems. Their design with fewer moving parts and simplified maintenance also contributes to reducing the overall environmental impact while meeting strict environmental standards.

You can finance the conversion of your professional fleet through a loan granted by your bank or another, or via a zero interest loan offered by Weenav's partner organizations.

The installation time for an electric motor can vary from 2 days for small boats, to 1 month for larger ones. The installation time also depends on the type of engine chosen, the installation of an inboard will take longer than that of an outboard. This estimate takes into account the complexity of the integration, the necessary adjustments and the coordination with the shipyard.
