Our mobile installation service
We are receiving more and more requests for the installation of our inboard engines (VETUS, WaterWorld, Aquamot, ...) in our customers' boats. We offer a mobile inboard installation service.
Is your boat stored in a hall with a power connection or on the shipyard premises during winter? That's all we need!
If you want us to remove the old diesel engine, it would be helpful if there is a small crane available on site. In theory, installation can also be carried out outdoors in dry weather.
Our Björn drives directly to your boat with his workshop van and carries out the conversion.
Conversion of inboard engine to electric
Frequently asked questions about inboard engine conversion
It depends! If the diesel engine has already been removed, installing the inboard engine takes about 2 days.
The most time-consuming part is the perfect alignment of the inboard engine with the shaft. In addition, cables need to be laid in the boat and components such as the throttle lever and display need to be installed. It's best to take a look at the following illustration.
Note: In very tight installation spaces, the installation may always take a little longer.
It depends! In Germany, the hourly rates of shipyards and boat builders are usually between 60 and 100€ per hour (this may vary abroad).
Assuming 2 days at 80€ per hour and 8 working hours per day, we have installation costs starting from 1,600€ net for the installation. In addition, there is usually a flat rate for materials (depending on the installation situation) and the costs for travel and accommodation.
You can save the most money by using a boat builder or service that has already installed an electric inboard motor before. An inexperienced boat builder may need 3 or 4 days for the installation. Even if the boat builder charges €10 less per hour, it will end up being significantly more expensive overall.
Some tasks, such as removing the old diesel engine or cleaning the engine compartment, can also be carried out by yourself in consultation with us or the shipyard.
As a rule, the electric motor fits easily into the existing engine compartment. Occasionally, the inboard motors are too long, but for this we also have special models where the controller can be installed separately from the motor.
In our consultation, we look for detailed solutions for the installation and are happy to help. Our service is, of course, free of charge. We would be delighted if you order from us, our offer, and the components, or even have us do the installation for you. Thank you!

Procedure for installing the inboard engine
The most time-consuming part is aligning the motor to the existing shaft system. The vibration dampers are installed and the angle of the motor is adjusted to match the propeller shaft.
However, wiring the motor, battery, display, throttle, main switch, fuses, charger, and shore power socket can also take some time – and of course, a function test must be carried out at the end.
