In recent years, electric propulsion has rapidly gained popularity in the boating world. From fishing boats to sailboats and sightseeing vessels, more owners are turning to sustainable solutions. At CMVTE, we’ve helped hundreds of customers electrify their vessels—and their experiences speak louder than any sales pitch.
Our company offers complete gas-to-electric conversion kits for fishing boats, sailboats, and small ferries.
After the electric conversion, the boat is quieter, more energy-efficient, and easier to maintain.
Electric boat conversions help reduce carbon emissions and comply with stricter environmental regulations.
Here are some real-world case studies of boat conversions powered by CMVTE electric drive systems:
Case 1：Fishing Boat: Quieter Waters, Greater Range
Before:
Traditional 15HP gasoline outboard
Average noise level: 85 dB
Frequent maintenance, fuel costs rising
After:
CMVTE 10kW electric outboard motor
Lithium battery pack (48V 150Ah)
Noise reduced to under 55 dB
Range: 30–40 km per charge
Customer feedback: “It’s so quiet now, we can actually hear the fish jump! Plus, we save money every month.”
Sailboat: Cleaner Energy, Smoother Cruising
Before:
Inboard diesel engine, high vibration
Strong exhaust smell in cabin
After:
CMVTE 5kW inboard PMSM motor
Integrated regen while sailing
Maintenance-free cruising
CO₂emission reduction: approx. 3.2 tons/year
Customer feedback: “The electric motor blends perfectly into the sailing experience—silent and smooth.”
Case 2：Tour Boat: A Greener Tourist Experience
Before:
40-seater tour boat with twin gas engines
High emissions, noise complaints from passengers and locals
After:
CMVTE 50kW electric motor
336V smart BMS battery group
Range: 200 km daily operation with solar top-up
Annual fuel savings: ~13,000 USD
Passenger rating increased by 25% after conversion
Customer feedback: “Our eco-tourism brand is now truly sustainable. The positive response has been overwhelming.”
Case 3: 10kW Electric Conversion for a 7m Fishing Boat
Before:
A 7-meter coastal fishing boat originally powered by a 30HP gasoline outboard engine. The owner faced rising fuel costs, engine maintenance issues, and noise complaints near eco-tourism areas.
After Conversion:
Replaced the gas engine with a 10kW brushless permanent magnet electric outboard motor
Installed a 72V 150Ah LiFePO4 battery pack
Charging via 3kW onboard AC charger, with optional solar panel support
Result: Quieter operation, 4 hours of range at cruising speed (6 knots), zero emissions
“We can now fish early in the morning without disturbing the nearby village. Plus, no more engine smoke or oil leaks.”
Case 4: Silent Sailing Yacht Refit (Inboard Motor Replacement)
Before:
A 10-meter fiberglass sailboat with an aging 20HP diesel inboard motor. The goal was to eliminate vibration, reduce engine maintenance, and enjoy a more peaceful sailing experience.
After Conversion:
Installed a 15kW water-cooled electric inboard motor
Integrated a 96V 200Ah lithium battery bank beneath the cabin floor
Enabled regenerative power generation through the propeller while under sail
Result: Silent motor cruising, full-day sailing capability with hybrid regeneration
