Here is a list of some outboards available. Does anyone have any experience they can report on any of them?
Torqeedo 4.0
Parsun
Ray
Minnkota E-drive
Aquawatt
Anyone else build their own?
I made one for my 26ft sailboat from an old 4hp gas bottom leg,
and a surplus 12v hydraulic pump motor that I ran at 36 volts. A nice feature of the custom build
was I made it very long so the prop would stay in the water in a chop, which is always an issue
in a stern mounted outboard on a sailboat.
I will have to dig some pics out of it, it is still in my shed.
