Above the Waterline's New Electric Propulsion for Sailboats
Above the Waterline (ATW) revolutionizes sailboat propulsion with their new electric drive. Three complete packages are available for Sailors, Racers and Cruisers. Maintenance-free, brushless, permanent magnet, DC technology allows this safe, low voltage system to run cooler, longer, and with more reliability than other marine systems. Variable speed control allows better acceleration, braking and maneuvering of your sailboat up to 35 feet long. Odyssey batteries increase range. ATW electric drives are powerful, reliable, economical, environmentally friendly, easy to install and simple to operate. Coupled to the POLAR DC MARINE generator, THE CRUISER is a diesel electric hybrid propulsion unit with tremendous electrical generation capability for looking after the largest of house loads.
