New Video: Electrify Your Sailboat This Winter - Pods, LiFePO4 Batteries & Solar

Winter layup is the perfect time to modernize your sailboat. In our new video, filmed right at the marina, we walk through how pod drives, LiFePO4 battery banks, and solar charging come together to create a quiet, low-maintenance, confidence-inspiring setup for cruising season. Watch the opener to see why electrifying a sailboat is simpler—and smarter—than ever: “This Winter, Go Electric: Pod Drives, Batteries & Solar for Your Sailboat.”

Why pods? Compact electric pod drives reduce drag and free up cockpit space. With instant torque and precise control, docking and maneuvering feel effortless, and maintenance drops to near zero.

Power you can trust. A well-sized LiFePO4 bank delivers predictable range and fast charging. We cover practical sizing (amp-hours vs. desired hours at typical cruising watts), safe installation, and how to plan for backup charging when needed.

Solar that actually helps. A modest array can keep your bank topped up at anchor and extend motoring range on travel days. In the video we show simple charge strategies that fit real cruising schedules.

What M-Oceans does for you. We scope the motor, batteries, system configuration, and safety so your conversion “just works.” From cabling and fusing to prop selection and charge settings, we treat each project like our own and keep the communication clear and honest.
