Now lots of companies say that right? But then you show them a pic of a 1988 mariner 40hp an they start sucking thier teeth! Or even worse you show them a nice 90hp mariner 4 stoke that you have lovingly cared for all its life only for them to offer you three boiled sweets and a bag of marbles for it (We can even offer px on boats and trailers too!). Well that wont happen here. We care about all of our customers and are committed to doing things the right way. So come on – lets get the deal done!

I’m Interested

We’re not government-backed, so we won’t make it sound too good to be true, but here’s our promise: If you’ve got a similar engine to trade in, regardless of its age or condition, we’ll take it as px, and what’s more we will use Bill Higham’s good old fashioned values of quality and integrity to work out a deal that’s right for you. 😄

Description

The Travel 1003/1003C delivers over 1,000 watts of input power. In terms of propulsion is comparable with 3 HP petrol outboard. With the Travel 1003/1003C you can discover the world on water, completely waterproof to IP67.

Thanks to the on-board computer with its GPS-based calculation of the remaining range, you always have your own travel guide with you.

Compared with the Travel 503, the Travel 1003 has higher overall power and offers over 60% more battery capacity. The Travel 1003C model offers 3 times the battery capacity of the 503, enabling a greater range.

Both motors are suitable for inflatables and other small boats. The Travel 1003/1003C will also easily propel tenders, dinghies and sailboats up to 1.5 tonnes.

Can do everything that a 3 HP petrol outboard can, plus it’s environmentally friendlier, quieter, lighter and more convenient
On-board computer with GPS-based calculation of remaining range
Solar rechargeable – including during the voyage
Can be easily dismantled for transport and space-saving storage
A clean affair: no matter how or where you store your Travel, there’s no risk of leakage or petrol smells

Full throttle	5.0 (9.2)	4.6 (8.4)	00:55

When travelling through water, displacement increases power required in proportion to the cube (third power) of the speed. This means that doubling water speed increases the power required eightfold.

Conversely, it also means that only a slight reduction in speed will increase the range attainable significantly. Simply reducing speed by even half a knot has a considerable effect on the remaining range.

As mental arithmetic to the power of three is quite tricky, the on-board computer of the Travel constantly calculates the remaining range for you. To do this, it combines the consumption data from the motor with the charge level of the batteries together with the speed over water obtained via GPS. This means you can read the remaining range in real time from the Travel’s display. Using the TorqTrac App you can even read the remaining range from a map on your smartphone.

Note: Speed and Range are indicative only. Actual results may vary depending on hull design/configuration and on-water conditions.

Torqeedo Electric Outboards

Back in 2003, ecological issues in Lake Starnberg, Germany, resulted in the introduction of restrictions which essentially banned the use of internal combustion engines. Doctors Christoph Ballin and Friedrich Böbel took up the challenge of creating a viable electric alternative to the outboard motor. The result was the Torqeedo travel range.

Since then, Torqeedo has moved from strength to strength, fully focused on developing a comprehensive range of electric outboards that provide a genuine alternative to petrol motors. As environmental concerns grow, their mission to deliver an alternative to fossil fuels for the outboard industry has become increasingly important. At Bill Higham, we’ve been supporting this mission for over a decade and stock a wide range of electric outboards.

Torqeedo electric outboards and inboards for sailors

Torqeedo now provides a range of electric propulsion solutions for sailors. The Travel range is a light, clean and quiet option for small dinghies and day-sailers, while the Deep Blue Saildrive range can power larger sailboats and catamarans. There’s also a range of pod drives, suitable for sailboats up to 10 tons and a powerful range of inboards. No matter the size of your boat, Torqeedo has an electric solution for you.

Torqeedo electric motors for motor boaters

Transform your motor boating into a green, quiet, powerful and efficient experience. Torqeedo’s Travel range provides a lightweight option for smaller boats while the Cruise range is suitable for those in need of a little more power. These outboards come in variations up to 20hp and are fed by super dense battery solutions. For larger vessels, the Deep Blue range is available in 40hp or 80hp options. These outboards, usually coupled with BMW iDrive battery solutions, come with a nine year warranty that promises 80% residual battery capacity with a nine year daily use cycle.

Torqeedo electric motors for kayaks

The Torqeedo Ultralight system weighs just 8.9kg, including the remote control and battery, making it perfect for a lightweight boat like a kayak. Whatever you use your kayak for, the Torqeedo Ultralight will completely transform the experience.

Jamie at Bill Higham Marine did a great job setting me up with a new Zodiac RIB, trailer and all the extras I was after.

Mark Hind

I first encountered Higham Marine about 9 years ago when having got tired of Honwave transoms rotting out , Zodiac valves being expensive to replace way too frequently when I got sand in there accidentally , and Avons being hellishly overpriced for a leisure boater on a work like budget . Simon Higham had developed the SeaPro HD range to a better spec , using a unique fabric that’s durable but tough and my first Seapro was the 340HD. I live in Cornwall and it’s a little rugged round the coastline and we’re dogged by Pacific Oysters too which have sharp edges to their shells . I’ve had punctures in every inflatable … except my 340 HD . It’s now 9 years old so I’ve just had delivery of a new SeaPro 310HD . Meantime the pontoon in the harbour ate the bow off my grp Dory as the glass fibre is no match for swells against a pontoon and it can be carnage in summer when boaters fight for space to moor up across each others boats . That , right there is the prime situation for needing a better quality boat . Any can be used , but can they survive life in the meantime and for me , 19 years as sailmaker here , yacht racer and student marine scientist, the boat has to be versatile . I’ve towed it to the Solent behind a yacht , I’ve carried divers and their kit for surveys and the sectional aluminium floor hasn’t even dented . I’ve beached it and it’s light enough to roll over and scrub the bottom mid season and this really is a little inflatable that can do big things and not need a trailer or boat lift either . Please folks , don’t mistakenly compare the price to lesser boats , even the assembly works precisely by design ! The upgrade to an all aluminium sectional strengthened transom around 2021 proves Higham Marine listen to us the customer and improved the design so negligence no longer leads to rotting transoms when left full of water for extended periods. Come on people don’t always get it right do we ? I sure don’t , but this range of inflatable boats are the Tonka Toys of the industry. The boat is half the equation. The company. ? I’m in Fowey ( deepest darkest Cornwall ) and I’m happy to give my business to a bunch of great people in Wales ! The reason being they know their products . They care that we get maximum fun for our quid . They go above and beyond to make sure we’re happy to have bought from them , and I’ve dealt with a LOT of boat dealers , owners , fellow yacht racers and owners in my time but won’t shop elsewhere! This week they chatted delivery options with me , confirmed yesterday that my new boat would be delivered today . I woke to messages with tracking details , a courtesy message and Jamie rang me to make sure the pallet line courier had arrived and found me . Come on folks , I’m a 55 year old Luddite afraid of technology and even in this social climate Bill Higham Marines customer support installs confidence in buying online . Thank you all from Simon and Jamie to Aled and the rest of the team . Here’s to getting back on the water and I’ll be seeing you guys again before long …. Psst - heads up folks they don’t only sell boats 😉🤗 Thank you all , Mark

Just purchased my Parsun Long shaft 4stroke, Jamie Williams was very helpful over the phone and obviously very knowledgeable in this field. I had a very slight hiccup on running engine within an hour (My total mistake) I rang Jamie and within 2 minutes my issue was solved, So engine seems very good value for money with 3 years warranty, hopefully runs well over time Would recommend these guys

Ahoy Bill Higham Marine : Me looking for a Outboard , in the low /mid power range , BUT also using REMOTES , which is essential for my Boat : a Dory , SO WHY DOES BHM NOT prioritise as a choice outboard in the Low /Mid range with REMOTES ? It would make scnse , really would do ! URG These days the BHM is not what it was when in the Midlands , is it ? URG URG
