As boats across the Maritimes come out of the water for winter maintenance, many owners take this moment to think about upgrades for next season. Electric boat conversions and repowering have become one of the most common winter projects at Crafts Cove Marine — and for good reason.

Why Winter Works Better

With the boat on land and the marina workload slowing down, our team can properly assess your setup: mounts, wiring, battery space, and overall layout. Indoor conditions also let us test motors and controls in a steady, temperature-controlled environment, so everything is dialed in before spring arrives.

Early winter bookings mean shorter lead times, better scheduling, and no scrambling to finish work once the docks reopen.

Why More Boaters Are Going Electric

Electric propulsion keeps things simple:

• Quiet, low-vibration operation
• No oil changes, carb issues, or fuel smell
• Lower running costs
• Smooth torque and predictable handling

For tenders, small RIBs, inflatables, and light coastal boats, it’s a clean upgrade that makes day-to-day boating easier.

Repower or Full Conversion — Both Options Work

Some owners only need to replace a small outboard. 

Others want a full electric package with modern batteries and controls.

We support both paths and can help match the right system to your boat and how you use it.

Plan for the 2026 Season

If you’re travelling in from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, or Newfoundland, early planning also makes pickup and scheduling far smoother.
