    Electric Outboard
    I am considering replacing my 2hp petrol outboard with an electric outboard. Currently used to ferry 3 persons in 2.5m inflatable from boat to shore. Looking for a lighter option if possible.
    Any suggestions as to what would be suitable in the NW Scotland waters where a little chop is not uncommon?
    The brochures say they can run for 1.5hrs between charges. Is this realistic?

    Sorry – we have no knowledge about electric outboards. We don’t know of anyone who has had one

    I have an e-propulsion engine.  We’ve had it for 2 years.  It is excellent. If used at lowish revs, the battery lasts for 10+ hours.  Because the engine splits in two – battery & engine – it is very easy to fit on the dinghy without risk of falling overboard!
