    Stealth Electric outbboard

    My choice of electric power is solely based on the reservoirs I have to fish in. There are 6-7 different lakes that are electric only and most of them are within a 45 minute drive, where as someplace to use a gas engine is at least 1 hr to 90 minute drive so its a no brainer for me. As has been...

    Stealth Electric outbboard

    Its powered by 3- 50 volt lithium battery packs wired in series. Each battery is in a sealed box 15"x17. The motor is water cooled, as is the controller which housed in a sealed box in the battery compartment.

    Stealth Electric outbboard

    Back in early January I ordered a complete electric outboard system from Stealth. (6030 50hp) It was finally delivered last week and I was able to get it installed on my Triton SP175 aluminum bass boat. The basic install was very easy, the challenges of the install where trying to fit everything...

    Elco electric outboards

    Agreed, batteries are the weakness with electric motors. That being said I would recommend a 48 volt lithium pack verses traditional lead/agm batteries. Lithium gives you the full 48 voltage through the entire use, where as traditional batteries lose voltage as the battery is used. A guy...

    Elco electric outboards

    I think they are unveiling their products at the Miami boat show in March? It sure will be interesting to see what comes of it. One common issue is power storage. (batteries) They are really making strides within the battery industry. Most companies can provide all the power one needs, its just...

    Elco electric outboards

    While I will agree that some of the items are expensive, if I have a problem or something doesn't work properly I don't want to give him a reason to not warranty it because I used an "after market" throttle. For me its just part of the cost of wanting to be the fastest boat on the lake. (most...

    Elco electric outboards

    I'm hoping to do a complete video of the Stealth outboard once it arrives( mid March?), from how its packaged, install and performance on the water. His video's are horrible so I hope I can give others a better sense of his product, good or bad.

    Elco electric outboards

    After speaking to Scott from Stealth about my boat, weight and cost, I settled on what he calls his 6030 outboard. Peak hp is 60 @240v which can only be run for short runs, ie tournament take offs for about 3-5 minutes and constant run at 30 hp. My range should be about an hr total run time on 1...

    Elco electric outboards

    If you didn't order a tiller motor it should come with the treaded remote steering tube. I would check with Elco or where you are buying the motor. I looked at both of those manufactures as well as Stealth outboards and decided to go with the Stealth. Cost and performance is better in my...
