I'm planning on getting an electric outboard so i can get my getaway out on the water on the sunny windless days. I've got a Cheata motor bracket and am looking at Torquedo vs ePropulsion motors. ePropulsion not as established but looks like a decent value. Does anyone have experience with either of these?

Thanks!

Andy

Andrew,

You might look at:  https://www.electricpaddle.com

I saw them in the Annapolis Sailboat Show. If I was to buy one this is the one for me. Really well thought out motor, mount and battery. I don’t remember all the details but I was impressed when compared to the Torquedo.

I have a Newport Vessels 62 lbs torque electric outboard trolling motor for my Impulse 21 monohull at 1300 lbs. it works for getting in and out of my slip

I’m happy with the Cheata - Torqeedo 1103 combo on our Getaway. Great for those zero wind days.
Aloha,
Scott
