ServoProp upgrades
What is it? Improved generation of electrical power when under sail
Who’s it for? Yachts with electric propulsion
A common theme at November’s METS marine equipment trade show was that of existing products benefitting from development work that dramatically improves functionality. One example is Oceanvolt, which has worked on its ServoProp series of electric saildrive units to improve efficiency in propulsion mode and to increase battery charge rates when regenerating power while under sail.
Improvements have been achieved though a two-pronged approach. Software changes give much more linear and stable regeneration at higher boat speeds. This is especially true in surfing conditions, when boat speeds can vary dramatically. This update is available for owners with existing systems.
In addition, improved water cooling helps to increase efficiency at
