Connection Yachts believe in providing an honest, reliable and genuine service for all our clients.

Complete diesel to electric motor conversion

We will be with you from start to finish, from design planning to suit your vessel size and range, to removing the diesel engine, prepping the engine bay to install and sea trails.

System design

System design is a critical part of the project, we will cover all aspects of your vessel’s usage, whether it be a simple closed water cruiser to a bluewater cruiser that is going to circumnavigate the globe, every part of the design will be thoroughly examined.

Battery monitoring system

Monitoring your vessel’s battery system is something every captain will need with an electric propulsion system. We can provide a system that allows you to see your system’s complete overview while onboard or overseas. You will be able to see everything from state of charge to current usage, to solar input or battery charger input, the system can even email the client if the state of charge gets below a set percentage.

Solar charging system

When you have the real estate on your vessel, solar is the best way to capitalize on your space and turn the sun power into clean power for your battery bank. We only use the highest quality solar panels and solar regulators to provide the most efficient system for your vessel.

Generator system installs for long range electric vessels

When going that extra nautical mile with an electric motor you will need some backup power to keep the power bank charged. We will find the best suited generator to keep your batteries charged. The system we install will auto start the generator and then shut it down when it reaches a set state of charge, which means you can enjoy your journey without having to worry about keeping an eye on the battery levels.

Fabrication to propeller to suit new motor torque

Due to the fact that the electric motors have a higher torque spec than a combustible engine, sometimes the propeller on your vessel will have to be fabricated to suit. We are able to carry out the design.

Battery bank design to suit range and motor size

The system’s battery bank is one of the most crucial components. The size of your bank will determine your range, as well as equipment that will be required to run while onboard. We select only a few high quality brands when it comes to lithium batteries.
