Research abstract
Patrol boat mission requirements exceed performance capabilities of currently marketed electric marine drive systems. A high power and reliable military grade marine motor must be developed to meet electrifying combatant craft and boats for the Navy. Mainstream Engineering will design a liquid cooled electric motor and complete mounting system that will drop into existing hull architecture and attach to the existing marine drive systems. Our main drive and all subsystems will be hardened for military marine use.
