One way to reduce fuel consumption and emissions on your boat is to invest in hybrid power, as opposed to relying solely on traditional combustion engines. This involves combining internal combustion engines with electric motors and battery packs, allowing the vessel to optimize its usage of both petrol/diesel and electric energy sources. You may also consider retrofitting your boat with exhaust gas aftertreatment systems, such as catalytic converters or selective catalytic reduction systems, in order to reduce harmful emissions from your existing engine configuration.

Modifying your boat to reduce fuel consumption and emissions will depend on the model and age of your vessel. Some possibilities include replacing old engines with more efficient new ones, switching to low-sulfur fuel, or installing devices that help maximize the amount of air entering the engine (like a sulfur oxide filter). You may also want to install a shore power system if you plan on spending extended periods at marinas in order to reduce your reliance on diesel fuel.
