How far can you go in an electric boat?

Well-designed displacement boats powered by a Ray Electric Outboard has an extended cruising range of over 70 miles (@ over 6mph) on a single charge. However, the true facts are that most boaters (gas or electric powered) actually only cruise less than 25 miles a day.

How fast are electric boats?

Fast enough. The true facts are that those who are interested in electric boating enjoy a relaxed lifestyle such as cruising and conversing with friends, enjoying a meal on the water, fishing or sipping cocktails in the evening as the sun paints the sky.

Can’t I just use a trolling motor?

No. The true facts are that trolling motors are not designed as a primary source of power for a boat. They are designed as a secondary means of power. Using a trolling motor as a primary source of power, you will find that they are not very dependable and that they do not have sufficient power. So if you expect your boat to have the dependability and power to get you home when the wind kicks up, you had better have a Ray Electric Outboard on the back.

How reliable are electric outboards?

Very reliable if you choose a quality motor. The true facts are that Ray Electric Outboards began producing motors in 1974, and currently there are less than 1% of our motors out of service. In other words, we like to think it’s pretty reliable.

How can I be sure that I won’t run my batteries down?

Unlike flashlights, games and cordless drills, today’s electric boats are equipped with some type of meter. The true facts are electric boats can be equipped with the ultimate in 90’s technology. A Ray Electric Outboard comes equipped with a voltmeter; this meter shows you in an instant the state of charge of your batteries. In addition, we can provide an ammeter (indicates the amps being used) or an E meter (indicates the amount of run time by the amps being used) to further ensure your peace of mind while seeking new horizons.
