The characteristics of electric motors and diesel motors are very different. Likewise, different types of electric motors have different strengths. And weaknesses. 

In narrowboating, efficiency matters and for greatest efficiency it pays to find the optimum propeller for your boat. Then find the motor to drive it. 

Törkmar specialises in producing high-torque Permanent Magnet AC (PMAC) electric motors for boats on inland waterways. These motors excel at driving large propellers slowly, ensuring optimal performance with reduced energy consumption.

Efficiency is also important during installation. We have worked hard with builders to make installation as easy as possible and want to make installing a motor in what is often a cold and uncomfortable environment as straightforward as possible.

Electric narrowboats can only store a limited amount of energy. At Electrika, let’s talk about how you get the most out of your boat’s propulsion system and battery bank.
