Electric Saildrives

Electric Saildrives

Looking for an electric saildrive for your sailboat, yacht or catamaran? We can help.

Powerful electric saildrives. Robust sail drive transmission fitted with the latest permeant magnet motor technology available in 20 to 20Kw power. Compact, powerful and retrofit ready, Bellmarine saildrives offer sail boats, motorboats and day boats superior electric boating.

Bellmarine electric propulsion helps reduce water and atmospheric pollution, allowing vessels to navigate with maximum silence and respect for the environment. Perfect for protected marine areas, urban settings and inland waterways with ever-increasing restrictions.

Our systems start at £15,000 and are available in a range of configurations.

Benefits

Quiet Performance

Whisper quiet and no vibration makes for excellent leisure performance.

Eco-friendly

As well as using less harmful fuels, electric propulsion also helps protect the environment by completely reducing emissions. Further to this sound and odour pollution are reduced.

 

Operational Saving

Maintenance is greatly minimised, and the frequency of repairs is reduced due to fewer moving parts and the simplicity of electric design. Operation safety is greatly improved by the removal of flammable fuels and oils as well as low 48V options.

What Electric Saildrive Do You Require?

Sail Boat Electric Motor

day-boat

Saildrive for Day Boats

Looking for an electric motor for your motorboat? We can help.

Motorboat operators can now enjoy, silent, emission-free full electric propulsion without polluting the environment.

Can the batteries be recharged using solar energy or propeller rotation?

Bellmarine solar panels can be fitted to the vessel and the Sailmaster(Link) enables the possibility of propeller towing regeneration for self-sustainability.

Do Bellmarine supply only the motor for a sail drive system?

The Sailmaster is a combined system of the Drivemaster motor and a Yanmar drive leg that have been designed together to create a very efficient and reliable electric sail drive option.

Is it possible to convert a conventional system to electric?

We can supply a complete plug and play package to make a retrofit conversion to electric easy.

What if my vessel does not have space or weight allowance to have the necessary batteries onboard for the speed and power requirements?

It is possible to use a low emission genset as a range extender with the electric propulsion system. This would become a series hybrid setup where the genset charges the batteries when needed and the batteries power the motor. You can significantly increase the range of the vessel whilst maintaining low noise and emissions.
