Undeniable advantages
Discretion and silence
The electric motor is extremely quiet, allowing you to get close to fishing spots without spooking the fish, unlike noisy combustion engines. This silence is particularly appreciated when fishing for wary species or in calm waters.
Respect for the environmentâeuros¯
It produces no greenhouse gases, no water or air pollution, and no unpleasant odors. This contributes to preserving the quality of aquatic environments and limiting the carbon footprint of our activity.
Easier access to certain areasâeuros¯
Electric motors are permitted in many protected areas or reserves where combustion engines are prohibited, allowing you to fish in unspoilt, less-frequented areas.
Easy to use and transportâeuros¯
They're lightweight, compact and easy to install and handle, so they can be quickly fitted or removed from one boat to another. They are easy to handle.
Reduced maintenance and savingsâeuros¯
Electric motors require little maintenance, as they have fewer wear-sensitive parts (no spark plugs, carburetor, etc.), and electricity costs less than fossil fuels over the long term.
Precise navigationâeuros¯
They offer fine control of speed and direction, ideal for maintaining a slow drift or staying on a precise spot, which is a major asset for vertical or trolling fishing.
Benefits for novice anglers too
Electric motors offer a host of user-friendliness features that make them particularly suitable for beginner fishermen¯:
Intuitive handlingâeuros¯
Electric motors are very easy to use, often controlled by a handle, pedal or remote control. A simple push of a button is usually all that's needed to start the motor, with no need for complex manipulations or starter cords. Even a child can easily operate this type of motor.
Easy installationâeuros¯
Their light weight and compact size mean that they can be fitted and removed quickly and effortlessly on different types of craft. This makes life easier for beginners wishing to explore several bodies of water.
Handling and precision âeuros¯
Electric motors offer precise control of speed and steering, making it easy to adjust navigation, even in tight spaces or during tricky maneuvers. Some models offer preset or variable speeds, making the experience even more accessible.
Reduced maintenanceâeuros¯
They require very little maintenanceâeuros¯: a simple rinse and cleaning of the propeller is sufficient in most cases, which avoids the technical tasks that could discourage a beginner.
No boating license requiredâeuros¯
For most electric motors, no license is required, so novices can get started without complicated administrative procedures.
Silence and comfortâeuros¯
Their silent operation allows stress-free, noise-free fishing, making the experience more pleasant and less intimidating for beginners.
Electric motors are easy to install, operate and maintain, while offering precise, silent navigation accessible to everyone, even those with no previous experience.
