Marine FAQ's

  • Where are the Lynch Marine Systems built? They are built in the UK at our factory, in Devon.

  • How long is the warranty for with a Lynch Marine Drive System? 2 years.

  • Do I have to remove the existing engine? Yes, unless it is a drop in electric hybrid.

  • Will Lynch be able to give me technical advice on which Lynch Marine Drive System is best suited to my boat? Yes, contact our headquarters to speak to a member of the technical team for further advice. 

  • Do I need a generator? Yes, as solar will not provide you with a significant range, but this can be extended with batteries and a charger.

  • How many batteries do I need? This depends on the space available and length of cruise.

  • Where can I source batteries from and which ones? We can recommend batteries upon request and would suggest Lithium based batteries as they will be weight saving, increase cruising range and motoring duration.

  • How much space do I need for the installation of a Lynch Marine Drive System? This depends on which Lynch Marine Drive System is being fitted.

  • Can I install the Lynch Marine Drive System myself? Yes you can. We can even come and commission the install, once it has been completed, to check it is fitted to specification.

  • Can Lynch Motor Company install my Lynch Marine Drive system? Yes we can, but this is an additional cost and the price depends on location.

  • Can I use solar power as a secondary power supply? Yes but this depends on space. 

  • Can a motor be added to my existing diesel engine? A hybrid option could be practical but will need to be checked by completing a site survey.

  • I'm on a tidal river, can the motor do regeneration with water flow? No, unfortunately it can't.

  • Are the Lynch Marine Drive Systems air cooled or water cooled? The systems are air cooled.

  • Can I use my existing prop shaft? Yes you can but it depends on the boat.
