If you’re in the market for a 50 hp outboard motor, you don’t have to settle for the noise, fuel
costs, and maintenance of traditional gas engines. Electric propulsion has advanced to the point
where it can match—and in many ways exceed—the performance of gasoline models.
The Elco EP-50 Electric Outboard is a prime example. Designed for serious power and control,
this motor delivers the thrust you need for bigger boats, tougher conditions, and longer days on
the water—without the headaches of combustion engines.
Built for Bigger Boats and Bigger Demands
The EP-50 is engineered on a rugged chassis and spins a large propeller, producing
exceptional torque for tight maneuvering, even in wind, current, or crowded marinas.
Its 96-volt battery system delivers sustained power that can:
● Push large pontoon boats to impressive cruising speeds
● Bring jon boats up on plane in seconds
● Maintain control when carrying heavy loads or battling chop
Whether you’re powering through an open channel or docking a full crew and gear, the EP-50
gives you responsive handling with a smooth, whisper-quiet ride.
