*Last month, Atlantic Marine Electrical Services completed our first ELCO clean electric propulsion motor installation! It was such a success that we were featured in an article in The Long Islander! We removed a Perkins Diesel motor from a Pearson 54' sailboat and replaced it with an ELCO EP-7000 Electric Motor. In addition to the luxury of having a noise-free system, the ELCO motor enables the boat owner to have an approximate run time of 3 hours but can operate as a serial hybrid when running the generator.
