ELKO MARINE ADVISES: Choose Outboard Motor According to Vessel Specification

Elko Marine has been operating in the nautical industry for over 28 years. Following closely its customers’ needs and guided by a constant desire for improvement, the company has become a complete service nautical center with the production of own vessels, official distribution of vessels of world-renowned brands, as well as servicing centre, marina, winter storage and vessel rental service.

As the general representative and authorized service provider of Honda outboard motors for the territory of the Republic of Serbia for the last 15 years, as well as the official distributor of Torqeedo electric outboard drives, Elko Marine is rightly the service to which boaters entrust their motors.


HONDA OUTBOARD MOTORS

Honda outboards offer outstanding performance, high reliability and extremely easy maintenance. On our market, they are available in a wide power range, from 2.3 HP to 250 HP. The models have different configurations that include both single-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines. Simplicity and ease of use, as well as economical fuel consumption, are just some of the advantages of these drives. What makes Honda outboard motors stand out compared to models of other brands is the fact that they are equipped with innovative technology, especially BLAST and VTEC technologies. BLAST technology enables an increase in torque at lower engine speeds. On the other hand, VTEC technology enables optimal engine operation at high speeds, with increased power and efficiency.

As one of the main criteria for choosing these outboard motors among vessel owners, not only in our market, is surely the largest service network and the largest spare parts stock, which gives the owners of Honda outboard motors additional security and trust that they have given to this manufacturer.


TORQEEDO ELECTRIC OUTBOARD DRIVES

Although Honda outboards are renowned for their reliability and performance, electric outboards have become a serious alternative to traditional outboards. Torqeedo drives represent a unique innovation in the nautical industry and a new generation of motors that meet the growing demands of environmentally conscious boat owners. With an increasing emphasis on environmental conservation, Torqeedo is a pioneer in the production of environmentally friendly and energy efficient motors. These drives are extremely quiet and offer a clean and efficient way of sailing. Torqeedo produces several models to suit different sizes of vessels and yachts, but all models feature good performance and economic consumption. For smaller vessels, models such as Ultra Light or Travel are recommended. The Cruise model of 12 KW is equivalent to 25 HP, so it is suitable for small and medium-sized vessels, while for larger vessels or speedboats we recommend Deep Blue with an equivalent of 40 to 80 HP.
