For a quiet lake or river, choose a Yamaha Electric Drive; there isn’t a more convenient, environment-friendly way to power a small boat.

These simple 12V units are very light and the adjustable bracket allows quick, effortless fitting to almost any smaller boat. A comfortable, twist-grip throttle makes control very straightforward and manoeuvring is a real pleasure. They’re tough, too, with permanent magnet motors, damage-resistant casings and coatings, and a special composite drive shaft that won’t bend, break or corrode in normal use.

All Yamaha Electric Drives are fitted with a special Weedless Wedge propeller that maximises thrust and is designed to resist trailing weeds and other underwater debris.
