Westerly 26, Early Install Still Running!
Editors Note: This unit was originally purchased in 2010, so equipment is out of date. Below is a comment recently made by our customer, their conversion story and a YouTube video. February 2023: I can’t believe it’s now been seven years since we splashed our...
New life to a US Yacht 1-Ton racer s/v Chilly Bear
It has been a fun project. Once the old saildrive bit the dust, I made the decision for convert to electric so sourced a good electric saildrive from Sillette Sonic. While the bolt pattern was slightly different, I fabricated an aluminum plate to allow the new...
Catalina Mk1
I bought the Quiet Torque 10.0 package from Electric Yacht a couple years ago for my 1979 Catalina Mk1. The Boat had been sitting on a trailer unused for 28 years and she turned out to be a MUCH bigger job than I had originally expected! ...
Cheoy Lee Clipper on Lake Superior
Sailing with an Electric Motor In 2021 we installed the QuietTorque™ 10.0 Electric Motor by Electric Yacht on our 1972 Cheoy Lee Clipper Sailboat, which we use for day charters from May through October on Lake Superior. We have been extremely satisfied with the...
William Garden Ketch 46ft
I'm pleased to say that the motor is performing splendid, giving me maneuvering speed of 3-4kts at 7kW or lower. I motored for two hours into Ensenada at 3.5kts and it did not complain in the least. Now continuing with the unfurnished projects, hoping to get some more...
Catalina 30 in So Cal
In the midst of Covid 2020, I decided it was time to replace our aging diesel engine with a new electric motor. A friend of mine has had one in his lighter 30’ racing sailboat for over 10 years and I was always impressed with how quiet it was, easy to use and how...
Catalina 320 in Hawaii
Sunday, I wrapped up a four day 100+ mile trip with the electric motor. It performed admirably! The first two days were between Pearl Harbor and Waimea Bay resting overnight in Pokai bay on Oahu’s western shore. Winds were very light and we spent a lot of time...
Catalina 36
Sept 2019 …the first use of electric power to go sailing. We had hoped to get to Alcatraz but cut short... We got power regeneration at about 4.5 knots while sailing and the traction bank registered 100 percent when we docked. Control of boat at low speed is vastly...
C&L 37
Thank you for all your help with the motor, and installation advise. I believe it is dialed in. Have gone to Palos Verdes point three times and back to my slip under full electric power. All three times when I got back to slip, I had 86 percent power left on...
Converting a Beneteau Oceanis 400 from diesel to electric drive and solar
As I am confident is the case for most other engine converts as well, a question I am relentlessly asked when detailing the wonders of an electric motor is “How far can you go with it?” While there are many ways of approaching my answer each time, the core incredulity...
Bayfield 29, Okotoks, Alberta/ Nanaimo Harbour, BC
Hey Mike Sorry about the long delay on install info, at least I can say all is well. I really wasn’t able to get started till after the New Year, and it has taken several trips out to get to where I am now. It’s a bit tougher when your project is 1000 kilometers away....
Aloha 27
Hi Guys, I did the conversion because, as I approached 80 (happening in 7 & 1/2 months) taking care of the diesel was too much work. Unexpected benefits to going electric has been, the precise control I now have when docking, the silence under way, the cleanliness...

GAM Conversion
The problem was familiar to a host of boaters – a 30 year old Atomic-4 engine that was noisy, smelly, and clearly needed a very major and expensive overhaul. Inevitably the question comes down to the age-old: “Do you fix or replace that cranky old motor?” Read the...
