MAN have nailed it in 1 .

and is electric really the total solution ? I mean, what is the noisiest part of your boat ? Answer, your electric bow thruster

I have an electric outboard on the tender, Propulsion spirit 1.0, it is absolutely silent, only when unleashing is mighty "3HP equivalent" you hear a faint whining in the background. For normal tender use from boat to beach or bit of exploring around is unbeatable, zero starting problems, weight 8kg + 8kg battery, as long as you move just under displacement speed it last around 2 hours (my tender is a Arimar 270 rigid keel).

Only issue is recharging needs genset running (or I need to buy the 12v charger).

I have a Torqeedo, and an aluminium rib of the same size. I set up a solar panel and bought an inverter and then thought sod this! I’ll use the generator

Check out the modes. Every which way .

MAN Smart HYBRID Experience with up to 2,500 hp


Also “ECA “ s ………Emission Control Areas . Yup we thought weed and or seahorses restriction where a impingement .Well how about in the near future this bay ( even whole island ) is a ECA ?

The direction of travel in bigger boats .

Electric isnt the only way out - alternative fuel is already used in pilotboats : www.scandinaos.com/methanol.html

But you would still need to park it next to CERN to get an adequate charge

It is only a 55KW motor.

That was worth the reading, Porto, thanks. Someone at MAN has been doing a lot of clever thinking. All I need is for them to develop a hybrid system of 1/100th the capacity and I will rush out and buy one.

Have a word with Beta.

How do the batteries perform in winter ??‍

@LBRodders is working on a nuclear powered outboard….all will be well ?

Currently, I have as much chance of dominating the market as electric motors. ?

Explosive stuff .

Erh no thx .
