Award winning Outboard & Inboard Electric Propulsion for the Marine Industry. Elco’s award winning outboard motors might look and feel like a standard outboard motor, but beneath their rugged and durable exterior lies the proven design and leading-edge electric propulsion technology that has made our outboards the leader in power and performance. Elco outboards motors are available in a wide range of horsepower options, from 5HP to 50HP, with remote and tiller control and long and short shaft to fit boats of all shapes and sizes. Elco's inboard propulsion system uses highly reliable AC induction motors that are powerful and simple to maintain, with a suggested service life of more than 50,000 hours. Whether powering a new build or retrofitting a traditional boat, Elco’s inboard systems are designed with easy installation in mind. They are suitable for sailboats, launches, trawlers, catamarans, workboats and water taxis from 15-feet through 85-feet, with a wide range of horsepower options from 6HP to 100HP. Elco is one of the most significant brands in American boat building history, stretching back more than 125 years to the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where a fleet of 55 Elco Electric Launches shuttled over one million passengers during the year long exhibition. Over the years, Elco Motor Yachts has built thousands of vessels for everyone from royals to adventurers, titans of the industry to everyday yachtsmen, and even the U.S. and Allied Navies. Elco was the pioneering company behind marine electric propulsion and to this day we stay true to that proud heritage.
