Pulse 63 layout: A simple and effective deck plan

At first glance, the almost rectangular shape at the front of the Pulse 63 is surprising. The hull shape chosen by RS Electric Boats has allowed it to reconcile a straight bow with a wide deck. This results in a generous foredeck for a boat 6.3 meters long and 2.3 meters wide. It will be easy to embark by the front during a transhipment.

A simple guide on the flange acts as a davit for the anchor, which benefits from a generous front locker. In our test version, dedicated to light sailing coaching, the front deck remains free to store equipment, such as course buoys. In the pleasure version, a sunbathing area is available to enjoy the time at anchor. An optional protective cover is also available.

Quite narrow, the Pulse 63's console gathers all the equipment necessary to drive the RIB. It frees up the gangways for good circulation. Solid handrails on the ribs allow the crew to stand safely. A console seat at the front will be used to stand facing the road.

To protect the pilot, a windscreen can be added as an option.

On the dashboard, a 9-inch Raymarine screen displays all the information. The throttle lever, positioned on the side, controls the power of the 53 kW electric motor.

Jockey seats, with backrests, for the pilot and one passenger, are located in line with the console.

If the batteries are under the screwed floor, it is easy to access the charging system, entirely grouped in front of the console. The cable can be connected to it, and is easily stored in the front trunk.

The rear deck, slightly raised from the bottom of the cockpit, covers the electric motor. By hiding the thruster, it also secures access to the water.

Depending on the need, it is possible to install on the rear deck, a traction matereau, as on our test version or a roll bar.

For people who regularly take their boats out of the water with a crane, the tilting lifting rings will prove to be very useful.
