Electric outboards! Confused? We take you through the options.

Electric motors are on the rise! This episode shows the offerings on the electric outboard market as displayed at the 2023 Boot Düsseldorf boat show!

We check out the worlds biggest boat show to bring you all off the electric outboards on offer for your dinghy, tender or small fishing boat!

Giving you the spec for each manufacturer; @TORQEEDOGmbH , Aquamot, Parsun, @EpropulsionHk & Temo.

Don’t miss the comparison table at the end of the video as an easy reference if you’re considering the move to electric!

Note: Specifications are for the specific models in the footage. Most of these brands have more than one offering so make sure to check out the brands own website to see what else they offer in their electric outboard range.

What a great video and great work !! Congratulation and thanks for spending time with us ! It's always a pleasure !

Good overview and explanation of these leading e powered outboards!

[richardkrueger]

If you build a lg. battery boat around a generator gas, or diesel. Your gonna have something, that everyone can jump aboard. Doesn't have to run long, My prius runs 10 min for a 2/3 charge to keep the air running. And putting a spinner on the bottom of the boat to trickle charge that lg. battery, you would be able to make long runs, and stay out days.

Lots of people claim that 1kw electrics are equivalent to a 3hp motor. My engineering classes taught me that 746 watts = 1hp. That would mean that 1kw = 1-1/3hp, unless the physical law of conservation of energy has changed. The performance of a properly tuned & propped 1-1/3 motor may be on par with the performance of an improperly tuned & propped, 3hp gasser, but that does not make them equivalent. That being said, the electrics have come a long way.

[sumobear]

Ive tried 2 makes of 3hp electric motors on a Hurley 22 sail boat and sadly they just werent man enough with a head wind or against the tide. To be fair i use a long shaft 6hp mercury which is perfect and i rarely use it over half power. I have tried a 3.5 petrol and it coped just fine. Im sure in time the cost and power output of electric engines will equal petrol, but at the moment overall they just fall short of their petrol counterparts. (just my opinion)

[dotconnector]

The TEMO 1000 only has a 740Wh battery, whereas the Epropulsion Spirit 1.0 1276Wh, and the Parsun has a 1440Wh battery. The TEMO corrects the connector issue of the other two, but has much smaller battery compared to the others. TEMO would have dominated if not for their small battery. The Mercury Avator 7.5e also avoid the connector issue but just has a 1000Wh battery.

Thanks for bringing the environmental impact of not using ICE outboards front and center!

[spotyride]

Awesome report about electric motorisations 👍

[fredericl]

Thank you. It would have been nice to add which of these motors you can use with a sailboat and recharge it when the propeller is moved by the flow of the water.

[lefeetshop]

The Parsun Joy battery is 1, 440wh = fuel = distance. And they offer all shaft lengths.

[jtechie]

I am looking for equivalent to a 9hp I don't think we are there yet, but i am waiting for that..

[bluedoggum]

Idk I wanted to like them. I really did. I feel the same of these motors as electric cars. I think at this particular time they just aren’t there. Going on 2 or 3 day trips I need to be near power outlets and going 10km offshore in one seems almost undoable to me, especially if some weather pops up. I ended up with a 5HP propane outboard and have been very happy with it.

[TinyBoatNation]

3:49 - WOW, Parson completely ripped off EPropulsion. No originality! You can't respect companies like that. At least have something original! It's just a cheaper, crappier Spirit 1.0. What a waste.

[josepeixoto]

Nice clean design, but not yet for me, my 3 hp outboard has 9000 W-hour with just 1 liter of gasoline; i do use lifepo4 batteries, but for solar storage only, at home, could not deal with the low battery syndrome on the water.

[richardkrueger]

And they lied about the price of charging at charging stations, and knowing marinas, how much will they charge, if you can find one?

[Riffraff-]

I am hip to electric! But price point and power to weight and time of use do not compute ! The advantage is 20 grand for one of these with a towing time of about an hour. And the have very little for the 16 foot fiberglass boats

[craybro]

Has anyone established if an electric outboard is a practical dinghy option for extended cruising? I imagine the recharge times and power requirements are not going to work for use multiple times a day over a week or more.

[jadams]

I use over a litre of petrol per year with my little Suzuki outboard !

[bbird]

Any chance you came across Wolong Flowstar ?

[Koniferous]

Never underestimate the power of the scout's motor
