Since 1893, Elco has led the way in electric propulsion for boats. Today, Elco has supplemented their line of shaft drive motors with a new line of electric outboard motors.
Elco outboards may be small in size, but they are big on advanced design ideas, innovative features, and motor performance. With durability and reliability in mind, Elco offers a traditional proven design paired with leading edge technologies. These outboards are available in 5hp, 9.9hp, 14hp, 20hp, 30hp, & 50hp. They come with remote or tiller and long or short shaft to fit a variety of applications.
