BACK COVE 372
Boating|November 2022
The Back Cove 372 is a single-engine cruiser that can be easily handled by a couple, especially with a standard Side-Power bow thruster and optional stern thruster.

BACK COVE 372

It offers great visibility from the helm and companion seat through the large tripane windshield framed with glare-reducing black mullions. A bi-fold stainless-and-glass door connects the salon and cockpit and provides outstanding sightlines aft. A convenient helm pod on the Llebroc Ultraleather adjustable helm seat gives access to controls and electronics.

The 372 accelerated smoothly as we throttled up to a wide-open speed of 33 mph. Settling back to 2,500 rpm for a fast cruise of 26.5 mph, the engine used 21.1 gph, yielding 1.26 mpg.

FLIPPING THE SWITCH

Much reporting focuses on reasons why one might choose electric marine power. The issues of range, speed, noise levels, winterizing and ethanol challenges, lake restrictions, environmental concerns and more all must be resolved on an individual basis.
