About EcoPower
Electric outboards from EcoPower are a real "insider tip" in terms of first-class price-performance ratio (the emphasis is mainly on "performance") - and only available exclusively from us! EcoPower's powerful lull sliders fill a gap in the market for medium-sized sailing yachts – between 20 and 28 feet, for example. The brushless electric motors have been manufactured in Australia since 2002, and since 2013 these motors have also been used specifically in inland areas – mainly on the Australian and Asian markets. The structure and handling of the entire boat engine are uncompromisingly geared to the propulsion of sailing yachts in particular:
- The tiller control can be adjusted in length and thus adapted to the conditions on the boat.
- A digital voltmeter is integrated and shows the battery status.
- The boat engine also has a protective cut-off if the battery gets too low. If the battery voltage drops below the specified value, the motor automatically regulates down to 50% of the drive power. This leaves sufficient reserves for the safe return journey.
- The automatic temperature shut-off (heat protection) of the EcoPower lull gate valve reduces the drive power to 50% from an operating temperature of 110 °C. This prevents damage to the engine.
- The model range includes operating voltages of 12V, 24V and even 48V.
- The smaller models are about as powerful as mid-range models from other manufacturers – although they are significantly cheaper!
- Each of these brushless and absolutely quiet motors comes with a second (spare) rotor/propeller.
Shop operator Johannes Vogelhuber uses the EcoPower himself on his Falcon 24 (KS), built in 1983, displacement: 1,100 kg, at Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland and puts various models of this calm slide through its paces again and again. The result: measurement data that are classified under real Conditions arise and are therefore particularly meaningful!
