In.co.fin’s marine offering includes everything necessary to protect, maintain, and enhance the mechanical core of a boat. In this context, filters play a critical role
From filtration to Electric Boat Propulsion, Italian company In.co.fin looks to the future with innovative and tailor-made technological solutions.
Professionals in the nautical sector – shipyards, yacht owners, technicians, and boaters – know how much the right components can make a difference in terms of performance, reliability, and environmental impact. In.co.fin, an Italian company based in Origgio (VA), is one such partner capable of offering concrete, specialized technical solutions.
Founded as a distributor of spare parts and filters for the automotive and industrial sectors, it has successfully evolved to offer increasingly targeted CustomMarineSolutions for the marine industry, gaining the trust of numerous professionals.
Pier Giorgio Novelli, technical sales representative at In.co.fin, explains: “The marine division of In.co.fin began with filtration, particularly through the Racor Parker brand, which has long been an advanced solution in the sector for fuel impurity filtration. Filtration is a horizontal technology that has allowed us to operate across different industries, including boating. That’s where we started to specialize in this sector as well.”
Innovative, environmentally friendly solutions
Today, In.co.fin is a key distributor in Italy for brands such as Parker Racor, Stabilus, Wolf Lubricants, Mann, Donaldson, and others. Moreover, it is the official Italian distributor for the hybrid system Hybrid Marine Engine developed by BlueNav.
What unites all of In.co.fin’s offerings? “The values that guide us are a constant pursuit of innovative solutions, with a strong focus on MarineSustainability – especially in the marine sector, such as our partnership with BlueNav, creator of the electric propulsion motor,” says Novelli.
A comprehensive and well-stocked catalog
In.co.fin’s offerings for the marine sector cover everything needed to protect, maintain, and enhance the mechanical core of a vessel. High-efficiency diesel filters, water separators, customizable gas springs for hatches and doors, and state-of-the-art marine lubricants – each product is selected and supplied based on specific applications.
The company stands out for its ability to offer tailor-made solutions: the customer receives not just a product, but a technical solution tailored to their system.
A 360° technical approach
Thanks to a team of specialists and a distributed sales network, In.co.fin can closely follow every phase – from initial consultation to delivery, through to post-sales support.
“We have always paid close attention to our customers’ needs. We have enhanced our offering with a fully updated e-commerce site, which allows real-time product availability checks and access to personalized promotions,” Novelli explains. “It’s a valuable tool even for more structured shipyards, which can manage orders and spare parts efficiently.”
The new e-commerce portal offers easy access to technical information, updated availability, and documentation, simplifying orders and spare parts management for shipyards of all sizes.
Added value
In.co.fin’s added value lies in its ability to respond quickly and effectively to any request, thanks to a well-stocked warehouse and a well-organized logistics system. But it’s not just about sales: the company focuses on long-term technical relationships, offering clients a consultancy-based approach.
In.co.fin collaborates with leading international manufacturers to bring certified and continuously updated components to the Italian market, in compliance with the strictest marine sector regulations. The brands it represents reflect a clear commitment to quality, safety, and Marine Sustainability.
Over the years, the company has developed skills that go beyond distribution: it can analyze existing systems, propose improvements, and suggest interventions compatible with the operational requirements of both new vessels and those undergoing refitting.
Electric navigation: a frontier to be explored
Among the most pressing challenges currently facing recreational boating is the need to reduce the environmental impact of navigation, especially in marine protected areas, harbors, and places of special artistic or landscape interest. In this context, Electric Boat Propulsion provides a cleaner, quieter, and more enjoyable way to travel, particularly in areas where traditional engines might be intrusive. Electric boating still represents a frontier field.
“In Italy, unfortunately, electric engines in the nautical sector are still in an embryonic stage. In my opinion, the biggest obstacle is the lack of infrastructure in marinas, which are not yet ready to accommodate hybrid or fully electric boats,” says Novelli. “The spread of these solutions is also hindered by the absence of specific and clear regulations concerning Marine Protected Areas. While the goal is to protect nature, no clear stance is taken to issue laws that allow access to these areas with sustainable means, such as electric engines.”
BlueNav is an innovative solution exclusively distributed in Italy by In.co.fin
A hybrid system that redefines navigation
Within the electric navigation context, In.co.fin exclusively distributes BlueNav for the Italian market – a highly innovative solution. BlueNav is an HybridMarineEngine module designed to work in synergy with combustion engines: it doesn’t replace the existing system but complements it.
This hybrid approach allows electric navigation in sensitive environments and a seamless switch back to traditional propulsion in open waters. The system ensures a quiet cruising experience, allowing users to enjoy the natural sounds of the sea without the background noise of a combustion engine.
Versatility first
Versatility is the key strength of BlueNav. The system is designed for easy integration into any existing onboard setup and can be installed on both new and retrofitted vessels without invasive modifications. “Electric propulsion truly enables a quiet, pleasant, and comfortable navigation experience. It responds instantly to commands,” explains Novelli. “Its software ensures unprecedented maneuvering ease and comfort: even a novice boater could operate it effortlessly.”
Key Advantages
BlueNav delivers multiple practical benefits: • Silent and clean navigation – ideal for restricted areas such as lagoons, historical harbors, and protected zones; • Virtual anchoring function: holds position using GPS, without disturbing the seabed; • Increased precision in maneuvering, including 360° rotation and lateral movement; • Ethernet-based control, compatible with major chartplotters; • Flexible installation and minimal maintenance needs.
Unlike full-electric systems, BlueNav is designed with realism in mind: it activates only when needed, eliminating long recharging times or drastic compromises.
The result is a Boating Innovation that optimizes energy use and comfort without sacrificing autonomy or versatility.
For now, In.co.fin supplies only the motor module, allowing clients to select their own battery pack. However, integrated turnkey solutions are currently under evaluation.
Looking ahead
The adoption of Electric Boat Propulsion is set to rise, driven by regulatory developments and increased environmental awareness among yacht owners and shipyards. With BlueNav, In.co.fin positions itself at the forefront of this transition, offering a proven, reliable technology already tested in real-world applications.
Novelli adds: “In.co.fin has always believed in training professionals who can collaborate with customers to develop Custom Marine Solutions tailored to their expectations. Listening to client needs and the high specialization of our commercial consultants form the winning formula for achieving this. The technical feasibility study for engine installation starts from an analysis of the vessel’s characteristics. Then, a project is developed in collaboration with BlueNav engineers and submitted to the end-user for approval.”
In.co.fin’s vision is clear: to guide the market toward smarter, more sustainable boating—without sacrificing the power, freedom, and ease that define Boating Innovation.
“The marine division of In.co.fin Srl started with filtration, particularly through the Racor Parker brand, a longstanding cutting-edge solution for fuel impurity removal. Filtration is a horizontal technology that enabled us to serve multiple industries, including boating. From there, we began specializing in this sector as well.” — Pier Giorgio Novelli
Long Live the Engine
In Italy, In.co.fin is the exclusive distributor of Parker’s Racor filters—an industry benchmark in filtration. Racor Parker filters are especially effective in separating water and impurities from fuel. Thanks to Aquablock® technology, they can eliminate up to 99% of contaminants and water residues caused by storage tank impurities or new biodiesel fuel blends. This performance guarantees longer engine life, particularly for fuel lines and injectors.
