Configure your electric outboard propulsion system using the steps below.

If your transom is 15″ or longer, a long shaft is recommended.

Step 2. Select Throttle Control, if remote throttle was chosen above.

(Remote throttle selection is not needed if tiller was chosen above)

Step 3. Select Batteries & Charger

If you do not have batteries and a charger, you will need to select either AGM or Lithium batteries with the matching charger type. If you already have batteries but need a charger, select the applicable charger based on the type of battery you have.

Step 4. Select Battery Connection Kit

Pre-assembled battery connection cables simplify motor installation. Our 7-foot electric battery cables and 18-inch battery jumper cables are adequately sized based on the motor amp draw. Swaged terminal ends are sealed with epoxy-impregnated heat-shrink tubing where they connect to marine-grade fuse blocks, Anderson motor connectors, and batteries.

Step 5. Select Battery Monitor

Battery monitors help you take better care of your battery. Your battery monitor also provides real-time and historical information on voltage, power consumption, and more.

    Elco NMEA 2000 Gateway

    $545.00

    Elco NMEA 2000 Gateway: If you purchase the Elco NMEA 2000 gateway separately, it will be pre-installed in your Elco outboard or inboard. To ensure everything works smoothly, make sure your depth finder or chart plotter supports NMEA 2000, as features can vary by model. You’ll also need to buy a complete NMEA 2000 starter kit for installation. For the best results, consider consulting a marine professional for setup help.
