- Hydrogenerators efficiently convert a boat’s speed into electricity, have virtually no effect on the speed of modern yachts, and are particularly suitable for longer sailing trips.  
- The choice of model depends on the type of boat, typical conditions on the water, cut-in/cut-off speed, propeller size and pitch, mounting method and required power output.  
- The market offers a wide range of systems, from simple entry-level models to high-end racing solutions, some of which can be combined with wind generators or regenerative electric propulsion systems.

- In the event of an abrupt engine stoppage caused by a line becoming entangled in the propeller, the top priority is to sail safely out of the danger zone.
