Marine Electric Propulsion

The Shire range of electric outboard motors by Barrus is a result of many years of extensive research, development and testing. There are currently three models available; 6, 10 and 20hp. These 48v outboards have a variable speed range that can be locked making them an ideal option for commercial and hire-fleet applications. 

The Electric Boat Company which operates a luxury self-drive hire fleet on the River Thames, including the prestigious Cliveden Estate, owned by the National Trust, were looking for a reliable electric outboard capable of withstanding daily use throughout the season. They are now in their third successful season.
