There
is definitely more to electric boating than trolling motors. And there are now
an abundance of options available much smaller than the QE2 or a military
submarine. That's right, the QE2 is electric powered and so are most
non-nuclear submarines. They are diesel-electric hybrids that run on
batteries when submerged.
Imagine
yourself out on a quiet lake, enjoying the tranquility. Yet you are
making good headway thanks to a virtually silent electric motor pushing your
boat across the water. Imagine boating without trips to the marina for
fuel, without lugging gas cans and lubricating oil to the boat. Without
hard-to-start engines that spoil the mood before you start - without annual
tune-ups that absorb your time. Without all these headaches you are left
with just the pleasures of boating and without the guilt of thinking about how
your hobby is harming the environment.

If
no power point at your the dock to recharge your boat, then consider the
potential for charging your boat using solar panels or wind generation.
About 40% of your energy can come from a single 50 watt photovoltaic
panel. The more panels you have the less you have to rely on shore
power.

The
Electric Boat Association of the Americas is an organization of individuals
with an interest in electric-powered boating. Most EBAA members reside in
the United States and Canada, but the membership includes a few individuals
in the Caribbean, Central and South America. We even have members in
Australia and Africa. We welcome new members from anywhere in the world
Since electrically propelled vessels do not put hydrocarbons in the air, do
not put oil and other pollutants in the water and don't make loud noises,
many EBAA members have a keen interest in the positive environmental aspects
of electric propulsion. Other members simply like the idea of clean, silent,
inexpensive boating. Low maintenance and reliability are appealing to all
the members.
