RIM Drive

Rim Drive Technology offers a genuinely innovative approach to electric propulsion: a shaftless design in which the motor is integrated into a ring around the propeller, rather than relying on a conventional shaft. This results in fewer moving parts, no oil within the system, and a significantly reduced risk of rope or net fouling. Manufactured in the Netherlands and available in outboard, POD and steerable POD configurations, Rim Drive is an excellent option where reliability and low maintenance are as important as performance.

Torqeedo

Torqeedo is the world's leading name in electric outboard propulsion. German-engineered and now part of the Yamaha Motor Group, its range spans lightweight tiller motors for tenders and dinghies through to the Cruise and Deep Blue series for larger cruisers and commercial craft. Torqeedo systems are renowned for quiet operation, instant torque and minimal maintenance requirements, making them a dependable choice for anything from a simple dinghy motor to a complete electric repower.

OceanVolt

Oceanvolt specialises in electric propulsion systems designed specifically for sailing yachts. Its systems are engineered to regenerate charge through the propeller while under sail, converting drag into usable power. This makes Oceanvolt a purpose-built solution for owners seeking to transition their sailboat to electric propulsion, rather than adapting equipment originally designed for motor vessels.

We've worked with Adam and the team at A.Hartnell Marine Electrical for over 10 years, and they've been our go-to marine electrician throughout that time. Whether it's a small job or a complex refit, their knowledge, reliability, and attention to detail have made them a trusted part of how we deliver refits here at Willett Built. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the marine industry.
