Differences of the Outboard Motors The main difference between motors today is the driving force. For PVC motorboats, you can choose both gasoline and electric motors. An inflatable boat does not need a motor with too much power. But since vehicles differ in their dimensions for control, they may need an engine with a capacity of 2 to 300 hp. When choosing, many pay attention to fuel consumption. If we are talking about a gasoline engine, then, in this case, the majority prefer four-stroke engines since this saves up to 20% of fuel. But if we are talking about an...

For your convenience, we've chosen the best electric outboards currently available on the market and compared them as we think they should be. So, you can feel the difference between them, plus gain some insights into what they can and can't do. Torqedo or ePropulsion  The Torqeedo Travel 1103C 3HP electric outboard motor was introduced in 2018 METS.

The Travel 1103C is the first direct-drive outboard motor manufactured by Torqeedo, and it thoroughly resolved the noise issue.  From day one, ePropulsion has been...

  When it comes to marine power systems, having a reliable and efficient battery is crucial. Traditional battery technologies such as lead-acid and lithium-ion have served their purpose for years, but the demand for higher energy efficiency, lighter weight, and longer lifespans has led to the development of solid-state batteries. Solid State M-Oceans (SSC) batteries represent the latest advancement in battery technology, offering unmatched performance for marine applications. Solid-state batteries are built with increased energy density technology that enhances their overall performance, lifespan, and safety compared to conventional batteries. Whether you’re using your boat for leisure, fishing, or commercial purposes,...

  If the PVC boat storage rules aren't followed, an inflatable boat can break down very quickly. At the end of the open water fishing season, it is critical to provide optimal storage conditions for the inflatable boat to extend its service life.  Suppose the boat is stored during the off-season (in Canada, that would be winter). To preserve the durability of the boat and seams, it is crucial to keep the inflatable boat clean prior to storage and follow some easy rules when storing a PVC boat in the winter. Later in the article, we will look at the...
